The 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution makes sense for a buyer who specifically wants all-wheel drive and a manual transmission in a compact car. Its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gives the powertrain a distinct character, but the 19 MPG combined rating is a continuing cost to accept. The EPA estimate of $4,350 a year puts fuel budget near the center of the decision. If your driving is mostly highway, the 23 MPG rating helps; frequent city trips use the 17 MPG figure instead.
