Will G

The best affordable car out there !

Very spacious car on the inside but on the outside looks small. Has a nice kick to it even for the v4 engine that comes with it. Would recommend for anyone trying to find an affordable long lasting car. The model allows you to add parts to the car if needed or wanted.

It is a fast car and it is fun to drive.

It is a good car but their are its flaws, it is fast and dependable as all of Mitsubishi cars, there are some problems with the wheels and it is something to keep an eye on for now but I need to replace the battery too because if you do not, it can be bad for your car.

Mitsubishi Lancer review.

The lancer is a great car to avoid an accident it drives very fast and it is a spacious including the trunk.

2015 Mitsubishi lancer is best on gas!

2015 Mitsubishi lancer was bought with 42 thousand miles on it. I absolutely love my car. The way it drives, it only takes $30 to fill up my tank and it is bluetooth via phone. Perfect for me and my daughter!

Melanie F

That it is fun to drive. The ride is smooth, it takes turns good.

I love that it has speed and power. It gets good gas mileage considering the power. It looks great and is very dependable. I dislike that mitsubishi stopped making them.

I love my car its great on gas!! Great size!! And low on miles! It fits 6 people and I love it!! Drives nice and smooth it Warnes me when the tires are low and when I don't have my seat belt on! Its has nice cloth seats. It's a beautiful blue!! I am very happy with my car it's my 1st owned car I have ever had I highly recommend.

Love this car! It's amazing to ride around and sounds amazing.

Where to start... I love my car. Coming from a 2000 Mitsubishi eclipse 2.4 manual, this car outshines that completely. My previous car was heavily modified and was super fun to drive but it got to the point where I couldn't do anything else to it. Even with all those mods, my new car is way more fun, practical and overall more enjoyable. I've always wanted this car, even when I had my eclipse, but I couldn't find the right one for the right price. Everything about this car is amazing.

Love my Mitsubishi Lancer

The road noise is a little loud. However, I love the fact that it can go into all wheel drive. It's roomy and very comfortable. It's very affordable car. I also really like the fact that I can sync up my phone to the radio through Bluetooth. Very easy for me to take and make phone calls. I'm on the road quite often so this is very important picture for me. The upholstery cleaners very easily. It's not expensive for the upkeep. The only thing I wish it had is a sunroof.

Rear camber

I have had to replace my rear tires every year since ive had the car aparently the rear tires can only be adjusted so far and its cupping my tires on the inside so i need to buy an aftermarket part to adjust them properly why would they build a car that way ? The only good thing about it is its good on gas otherwise a complete peice of sh**

Cody M

Not what I thought it would be

Small, uncomfortable, cheap feeling, low power, not great on gas mileage. Overall disappointed with the car. Got it because I loved the evo but this car just sucks. Would not recommend. Will be trading it in for a different vehicle in the near future because it doesn't hold value either

Dianne G

I would not buy the Mitsubishi again.

Poor quality, uncomfortable seats, car dent easily, upholstery stains even with water very difficult to keep clean and the value decrease extremely fast.

Angela J

Too small for comfort for me

It's way too small for a family of four. My baby's car seat doesn't even fit properly. I always feel cramped. Car is cute for maybe a couple with no kids or a single person. It's reliable as long as you keep up maintenance. It's good on gas. Overall it's a cute little car.

Jada R

The car has great features.

The seats are very easy to clean. Although when you are setting up the Bluetooth it is kind of difficult to do. You have to play with it a little bit. I like the calling Bluetooth feature. It is a roomy car which is good. I like how it drives, seats are comfortable.

Aaron C

All in all this car would serve anyone as a great commuter car/zip around car.

This car is a standard and it shifts very well; however, the pedals are so sensitive while shifting that it takes some time getting use to. Like the evos, it was designed to get up and go. I was aggravated at first but now I am very smooth and in-sync with the car. Upholstery is nice. I am a tall guy at over 6 foot but I fit just fine inside. The back seats fold down and allow the truck space to be extended into the car, great for transporting large objects like wood or rugs if one has to. Solid and reliable sedan with terrific gas mileage. I get about an average of 30.

elijah S

A nice, reliable inexpensive vehicle.

There's no problems with the car that I haven't caused myself. It's very reliable, drives nice and smooth. The gas mileage is excellent as well. It's inexpensive to fill up and lasts a while as long as you're not driving around like a lunatic. The comfortability is decent. Nothing too special on that front. I don't know all the nitty gritty features that come with car or any specific things like that, but I know my favorite thing or future I guess I should is that it has Bluetooth connection for your phone.

Christian W

The car picks up speed fast with it is body shape.

I love the way the car drives, it is very reliable. If I could change one thing, it would be the space inside the vehicle. There is not a lot of room, especially for a car seat. I would also want more upgrades inside the vehicle, such as phone ports and an updated touch screen radio. Other than that, this car is a very smooth ride and reliable.

Try this little night rider.

Well when I got my 2015 lancer I wasn't sure about it at all. However it has a sporty look even looks kind of like a mustang from a distance it's great on gas. I have had it almost two years and have had no issues. Would I recommend this car. Most definitely.

Marie B on May 19, 2021

Love it! Just a couple of minor requests.

I love my car, it does run great! Couldn’t be happier to have this car. It is not recommended for snow travel. It handles better if you put on studded snow tires. The gas mileage is good. You do hear a lot of road noise with this car, even with normal street tires on it.

Pros from Owners

Laura R.

It is small. The car is also very good on gas. I do not fill the tank often. Unfortunately the car is not one or the stronger body's. I am sure it would be totaled in any wreck. It is definitely not a family car.

Ramona R.

Save gas is really economic for daily uses to work. Easy to maintain oil change is not expensive either. Good for first time buyer or for students that has to travel everyday, good for uber as well. I like to drive.

Jeremy F.

Selectable automatic all wheel drive, all wheel lock or two wheel drive modes. Retractable sunroof. Premium sound system. Front heated seats. Turn indicators on the mirrors. Keyless entry. XM satellite radio.

Amy B.

This car gets about 32 miles to the gallon. It has really good pick up. It is roomy and comfortable. It offers Bluetooth connectivity. Seats fold down easily in the rear for more storage in the trunk.

Cons from Owners

Laura R.

The car is very small and not very sturdy. It is also not much of a family car. I was looking for a small car when I needed one but however I wasn't expecting to have a family anytime soon but now that I do I wish I had gone with something a bit larger.

Ramona R.

Came with a factory problem and I had problems with a radio. Small inside it should have more space for passengers or for bags in trunk is kind of small. Not safe in case of accident I think it will be total loss with any small hit.

Jeremy F.

Low miles per gallon compared to similar vehicles in same class. Interior feels cheaply made. Continuously variable transmission does not know how to run for best miles per gallon. Small back seat and small trunk.

Amy B.

It sits low to the ground. It is a 4 cylinder. The speakers are not loud enough. Because it sits low to the ground it often will scrape on the bottom of things such as curbs and inclines. You also feel more of the road such as bumps.

It’s okay. It’s reliable and good on gas but it’s super small. My baby's car seat doesn't fit right.

Marianna L.

How Reliable Is The 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer?

No I have never had any problems with my car. It is one of the best car ever.. I would recommend anyone to buy this car. You will love it.

Chrystal B.

No it is not. Common fuse problems windows are loud and make a whistle sound, plus there is no aux plug in

pat N.

It is reliable. It’s good on gas and it’s a very cute car. Just not big enough for a family of 4 that has kids in a rear facing car seat.

David S.

Is The 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer A Good Value?

Yes it is a great buy it is a 15,000. Dollar car and it drives like a 200,00,00 dollar car best buy you could ever make.

Chrystal B.

30,000 USD No terrible value for the features it has and has no aux cord, terrible speakers and does not have Bluetooth

beth M.

It cost us 18,000. I think it should have been cheaper. It’s a compact car and I don't think it’s worth 18000
