That it is dependable and fun to drive

It is cute and s**y and an awesome vehicle

Jo B

Its fast and the turbo is awesome.

No problems, great for winter driving. Three options push button: tarmac, gravel and snow. Great performance with paddle shifting, full auto and manual transmission options. Interior is basic no frills. Seats are super comfortable.

Owning a lancer is the best decision you can make.

My lancer has always been safe and reliable. I am able to drive with ease knowing my baby safe in the back seat and without worry of breaking down somewhere. I'drives smoothly and any repairs that I need done are quick and easy every time I take it into the dealership.

Ramona P

I love my car, it is the best. I wouldn't buy any other make.

I have owned my car since 2011 and I have never had a problem with it. I love my car, it is fast and very reliable. I love everything about it. The minute I first saw it I was in love. If I get a new car it will be the same make and model. I love Mitsubishi, they are great cars.

Low cost great performance

I purchased my car brand new on October of 2010. She has over 135,000 miles on her. Other than regular maintenance I have not had any other issues. I get great gas mileage in city and even better highway miles. After almost ten years she is still running great.

Melissa H

My car has been very reliable and I've had no problems.

I'm very short so this car is perfect visibility for my height. My car has been very reliable. The only problem I've had is with the buttons on the steering wheel for volume and changing stations/songs.

Peggy U

Good pick up and great gas mileage and has good storage. Easy to drive.

Is very easy to maneuver and the air and heater work extremely well. It has a hatchback and there is lots of room for storage. Would purchase this car because it is great on gas and gets wonderful mpg. It has good pick up and does not rattle. I have had many cars but this is one very nice and very economical.

Abby H

Great car for a single fast paced life

My vehicle is great for a single person that loves to travel. It's great on mileage when on the highway. Its smooth to drive and not too expensive to keep up on repairs. Its compact so there is not that much room if needing to fit a lot of things in there.

Ugly car that will never be as much as you pay for it.

The body type is ugly. I don't like that it is pointy in the front and round in the back I think it looks incorrectly made I also think that the positioning of the headlights is wrong to wear when you run your car on low beams you cannot see the road properly you need high beams to do so side panels tend to pull away from the car and stick out the radio is not loud enough and the features are obsolete it is very hard to pair your Bluetooth with the system.

Lisa J

Mitsubishi Lancer This car gets amazing gas mileage.

I bought my car second hand and it was not well taken care of, so it has several issues. I just received a notice in the mail that stated the airbag is recalled. However, my entire steering wheel has been replaced, including the air bag, so it has already been taken care of. Overall, it drives good and gets REALLY good gas mileage. I would purchase another Mitsubishi in the future.

Eric H

It has a very sluggish acceleration.

It's underpowered. The computer system has Its own quirks. There's been so couple recalls on it as well.

Jasmine W

I enjoy how you add your phone to the car and it is hood for hands free.

The lancer is small and save really good on gas. The lancer have problems with the battery, it is not a good idea to sit in your car with the radio on. The car will run hot going 80 in the highway make sure you get it check out all the time. It is easy to drive.

zach l

I really don't have anything interesting to say about my car.

I've had problems with the tires being too low in the colder weather, but it isn't really the car's fault. I had the bottom panel, cheap plastic come off. It's a decent vehicle, but nothing special.

Elias B

Vehicle reviews one it is performance and overall feel.

The vehicle is great and easy to work on if you plan to do your own maintenance or upgrades. Great on gas and definitely a reliable car. Haven't had any major problems with the engine or transmission. Very rooming and a good car for a small family or for a student.

Chris M

My car is reliable and stable

I really enjoy the reliability of the car. There have been no issues with performance. The Bluetooth is the only issue that this car has. It is terrible

Taylor H

Review of Mitsubishi lancer.

The car is fairly reliable, have not had too any issues with it. The car is not the best in the snow that would be biggest complaint, but it is a smaller car so it is to be somewhat expected. Otherwise, the car feels safe and has nice trunk space for its size.

Fuel efficiency and roomy.

I honestly love this car. It is spacious and comfy. Plenty of room for a small family. Trunk is pretty decent size. Good for groceries or whatever. Fast and fuel efficient. Only con is that the back seat is a little too soft for my liking. Like too squishy when I go to put my knee in it for whatever reason I just sink. Other than that it is awesome.

I really think people that do not have kids is a perfect type of car.

It's really comfy and it's a gas saver. Love the style and really nice. I have not had any problem with the car. Along as you do the service to the car you should not have any problems. Nice size of the car not to big or small. It's a pretty good on the freeway drives smooth.

Pros from Owners

Sarah H.

Great gas mileage, very spacious, great cargo space, have made several over 3 hour trips in it and it was comfortable. Easy to have a cooler and luggage and still room for 4 people. Air and heat work well.

Cons from Owners

Sarah H.

Paint chipped off easy, has needed a lot of work, needed new ac/heat fan, have had 2 recalls, have had to replace air filters a lot. Transmission takes some getting use to. Oil changes are expensive. All work has been expensive.
