03 evo to 08 lancer gts
So its been over one week with the new car. First off its a 08 tarmac black gts, automatic, because with lack of power i didnt want to get manual, fully loaded with sun and sound package and the navi tech package. It was tough for me to trade in my evo but i knew i had to do it, the evo costs alot for upkeep and i was trying to move on with other things so knew i had to get rid of the car and i chose to go with the lancer. So i lowered my monthly payments and my insurance and now i dont have to spend as much money on the upkeep of the car. The navigation is excellent, although i still dont know how to hook up my ipod and download all my songs into it, so if someone knows that please let me know. The ride in the car is smoother than the evo, I enjoy the suspension it is decent. Handling is pretty good. I just wish it had a little more power as im sure everyone does. But other than the engine I think the lancer is an amazing car, i love the look and dont miss my evo other than the fact i cant downshift and take off like i was used to. So overall:
Evo Vs. Lancer gts
Looks: Lancer
Interior: Lancer
Engine: Evo
Handling and Suspension: Evo, although the ride is smoother in the Lancer
AWD>FWD
but hey for just over 22k, the lancer is a great car and i havent had any issues with it
oh and as turbo dizzle says Fuel: Lancer, which was also in my decision just forgot to put it in...

Hey, I would definately say the trade is worth it. I just traded in my '03 EVO for a GTS and I am extremely impressed with the quality of these cars. I wish I could've afforded the Navigation package but I still feel it was definately worth it. I was actually torn between the Mazda 3 because it had leather + heated seats. Tough decision.

they gave me 18500 for my trade but i owed 19k but i was fine with that, so it worked out just how i wanted it to it was an 03 evo with 42000 mi on the clock, and it was almost time for new tires and brakes, so i just wanted to get rid of it before i had to dump more money into it

The local dealership I went to gave me what I needed to pay off the car . I had been talking to the salesman there for a while when I had the car in for oil changes, etc. so he was really great helping me with this transaction. I didn't get any extra for the car but I'm glad that I have a warranty on my vehicle now and don't have to worry about high maintanence.

I'm looking at doing basically the same thing, although mine is a IX. My car's for sale, but not much intrest so far. The dealer has offered me $24.5K ($1K over what I owe), I qualify for all 3 rebates, and they said they would sell me the car for invoice.

BTW you can't rip music from your iPod to the music server. You have to do it via CDs.
One theory that I think thus far has been untested is burning a crapton of MP3s to a DVD and seeing if it'll rip that way.

Glad to see you guys that moved from EVO to 08 lancer arent upset with your decision. I love mine but i have had an 02 OZ, 04 RA, and now my 08 GTS so I am really dam happy. And dont think that RRM isnt working on making this car fast. I have the intake, exhaust, and G.R.I.P. springs and it's a lot faster then it was stock and more mods are coming out weekly SO welcome to the Lancer side of things guys
