Pondering what an Evo is really. I decided to Google it. Perhaps you'll need this linkhttp://www.mitsubishisucks.com/
Just joking ya but It was on the first page. 7th link
Evo is 2 star side impact ya know, so do be careful. From the same site.
How serious is side impact issue in real life?
In 1999, about 8000 fatalities happened because of side collisions. In its "2002 Annual Assessment of Motor Vehicle Crashes" report NHTSA asserted that
Two-vehicle crashes involving a passenger car and a LTV (includes pickup truck, SUV and VAN) show that when a car was struck in the side by an LTV, the car occupants were 20.8 times as likely to be fatally injured.
20.8 times as likely to be fatally injured...(in front-collision it is 3.3 times)
The 8 appears to be 4 stars

Good luck Bart!
I would agree, better around town driving also because of the larger engine and Subaru's are more reliable in general then Mitsubishi.
