2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS
2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS - Editor's Notebook - Automobile Magazine
More enjoyable as a daily driver than the high-strung Evo.

I haven't driven a Mitsubishi Lancer in quite a while and, because the Lancer Evolution lacks seat-height adjustment, I was prepared to be a bit uncomfortable behind the wheel when I signed out the GTS for the night. Fortunately for shorter people like me, this less-focused-but-still-sporty Lancer model comes with the full array of seat adjusters. In fact, overall this entire package is far more enjoyable as a daily driver than the high-strung Evo.
