Other Choices:

The Dodge Caliber SRT4 is much cheaper than the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution or any of its competitors, but the SRT4 only has front-wheel drive, and its drivability is notably inferior. At the opposite end of the scale, the BMW 135i is a coupe and has a more mature presence and driving experience than the others. The primary competitor to the Evo is really the Subaru WRX STi; and for those who play by the numbers, the STi might be a little bit faster. The new STi is more refined and comfortable inside than the Evolution, and the Subaru's interior materials feel of a higher quality. The Evo has one up on the WRX STi, though: an available automated manual transmission, which can take a lot of the pain out of creeping along in traffic. But the Impreza, on which the STi is based, might have an edge in safety--it's been named an IIHS Top Safety Pick for 2008.
