Mitsubishi Lancer – Kelley Blue Book’s Review

www.kbb.com
Is there an unwritten rule that says inexpensive cars have to be boring? Mitsubishi doesn’t think so. In a category dominated by practical but uninspiring transportation the Lancer stands out as a frugal car that’s also exciting to look at and fun to drive.

The Mitsubishi Lancer has traditionally sat in the shadows of its affordable exotic sibling — the much praised, World Rally-derived Lancer Evolution. Now with a wealth of high-tech features, sportier performance and aggressive sheet metal, the latest generation Lancer is ready to make a name for itself while building on the heritage of its much more expensive brother.

    i have an 09 lancer gts. love the car. has good acceleration and excellent steering for a fwd car. only complaint i have with the lancers is the paint. right by the rear tires there is hundreds of chips because it flairs out to much and the paint is low quality. rocks and salt coming off front tires does this. must get mud flaps to stop this. i recommened getting the ralliart (turbo, awd, recaro seats available)

    If a car doesn’t have a high quality polished interior, a stiff suspension, and a hot body… I pass… therefore… I pass… PEACE OUT! (VW, Honda, and Mazda fan :) )

    I think I’m going to buy one, but I’ve asked the dealers they know nothing about the the rockford fosgate sound system. and their entertainment system is different too.

    yeah i was thinking that too, of course i’m from australia and here its the es is standard the vr then vrx which has the 2.4 engine. i love lancers, i have a 2005 model and its definitely exciting, no boring corolla for me lol

  20. good trade lol
    good trade lol

  21. i think it’s just …
    i think it’s just demand; for me, mitsubishis’ interior has always been the low point. I think they have good looking exterior design, good performance, and good reliability but the interior is crude and very unlike its sporty Japanese competitors, notably Mazda and Nissan. The interior of the new eclipses for example remind you of something from a 90s ford escort; i wish they would just copy Honda’s design like the american automakers.

  22. Ordering mine …
    Ordering mine tomorrow. It is a 1.8litre with 143bhp and CVT. Biggest engine in Norway (Not counting the EVO) All equitment :)

  23. I never figured out …
    I never figured out what determins the resale value of a car, always guessed it was the demand for the car. So if this car gets more popular it will get a better resale value in the future? Or is it more than just demand?

  24. its okay i would …
    its okay i would not expect them to know that haha

    i’m hoping to get mine as soon as i sell my 2000 civic si
