Favorite car is a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X. I drive a Ford Focus though because we get family Ford discounts and I don't have much money.
This guy has it right
Evolutions are kind of expensive to operate. Average about 21 mpg, insurance is $100 a month (up $50 a month over my 06 STI, or my 08 TL-S). You have to change the oil every 3,000 miles. Tires, brakes, fluids, and routine maintenance items are a bit more expensive. If you mod the car the parts are reasonably priced though, on par with any vehicle that goes for 30-35k (look into modding a newer M3 and you'll see why I mention this). Working on it is really easy, on par with any Subaru, if not easier.
Drawbacks aside, I have to say I fking love driving my car. I have never felt it wasn’t fast enough, I did find it was a bit sloppy in the corners, but after the Ohlins it takes corners like a weapon. I look forward to every time I get in it. It takes some restraint to not charge around everywhere like an A-hole. And I wouldn’t recommend driving one without a radar detector, and if you are in an area that loves lasers, than some shielding.
