2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

Review

My previous car, an '02 Hyundai Elantra broke down so I decided to trade it in. I had been researching new cars and had considered this as well as the Suzuki SX4. Test drove my Lancer and I was hooked. I got the GTS with the standard stereo, no nav. I kinda wished I had gotten it but I couldn't justify the extra cost. As far as the performance, the car is quick and handles great. The tires seem to be the limiting factor. Everywhere I have looked people criticize the Dunlops for their lack of traction, especially in the snow. The car is comfortable and drives great. The gas mileage is awesome. Its better than the mileage I would get in the Hyundai, even though that engine was smaller.

Favorite Features

The bluetooth system works great, calls come in clear and no one has complained. The trunk is big enough to fit my bicycle. The auxiliary inputs are great, although I wish they were inside the console instead under the stereo.

Suggested Improvements

Leather option maybe. While the interior looks good, the quality of materials used isn't up to par with some other cars in the class. My old Hyundai had leather and the plastics used felt better.

My 2009 Lancer GTS

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I just leased the 2009 Lancer GTS and looked at other compact, but sporty vehicles in this class, and I am sorry, there is no comparison. The exterior and interior are "A" class and the other dealers do not have anything that comes close. This is a keeper!

Favorite Features

GTS package with wheels, spoiler, etc.

Suggested Improvements

Add remote starter and moon-roof as standard.

2009 Lancer GTS!

Review

I love this car! It has good low end power and can get going when needed on the highway. The only thing I would change is to add traction control for the snow. One way you can get around this is to put the car into the shifting mode and when you push the gas shift up into third gear and it goes okay.

Favorite Features

Nav system! I like the style of the car and the way that it handles.

Suggested Improvements

Add traction control; the GTS has stability control but it needs traction control as well because of all of the torque this car has in the low end

The First Ralliart in the Southeast

Vehicle

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart 4dr Sedan AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)

Review

I owned my car for about 24 hours and I know that's not quite long enough to know all the in and outs. But this thing is amazing. I driven an Evo, and for the $10,000 price cut, this will not disappoint. One thing though good luck finding one.

Favorite Features

The turbo is amazing it kicks with the SST, and your plastered to your seat.

Suggested Improvements

The plastic in the dash could be revisited and seats need lumbar support.

Smooth to drive, really a sport feeling.

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer ES-Sport 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

I got this last Nov and when I got it there is a small dent and the dealer was aware about it and verbally they told me that they will fix it and even give me a loaner car. Now they are giving me a hard time to have it fixed and the 6 CD is missing not even there. The specs on the paper, 6CD/MP3 is the deck w/ navigation.

Favorite Features

The Rockford Fosgate system, I love it when I watch dvd.

Suggested Improvements

The engine is kinda loud and have a 6 speed available. Because the engine can still take another 6 gear.

I WOULD HAVE PAID ANOTHER $5000

Review

I think this is a fine buy for anyone looking at value. Mitsubishi has to be one of the most underrated automakers. The Lancer has great pickup, good handling in the snow, and a smooth ride all around. I looked around and did a lot of research on other cars in this class (including some above) and this won by a mile as far as price and value. Give it a drive and you will be convinced.

Favorite Features

Mivec engine... takes little gas to go this fast.

An Awsome Ride

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

Review

I was driving Corolla 2007. Also have driven civic. When I came here and saw the shape it was like love at first sight. However I must say it was the test drive and exterior shape due to which I bought this car. Fun to drive and very comfortable to sit in.

Favorite Features

Bluetooth, powerful engine, smooth drive.

Suggested Improvements

The plastic used for the dash board and interior needs some fine tuning. During snow is extremely slippery, probable because of 18 inch rims and low profile tyres. This is definitely something which can be looked into. Overall an awesome buy for me

What a ride

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer DE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

Review

When I started looking for a new car I wasn't sure what I wanted. I drove the corolla, the sentra, and this little baby. I knew that I wanted a strippo to get the price down and I was blown away with this car. It's relatively quiet, it has a fair amount of power and never feels slow on its feet. The thing that sold the car for me was the ride. It's never choppy and I could relate it more to a big car then anything else in its class. The clutch and the transmission is very smooth and easy to operate and to me feels like a manual transmission should. Being that I do live in the midwest I did have to pay the extra money for the A/C which was well worth it. Give it shot.

Favorite Features

MP3 CD Player standard, nice safety features, 31 MPG on the highway.

Suggested Improvements

A month down the road I had a problem with the driver seat squeaking, but was fixed... maybe a little nicer seat.

Sweet car

Review

Bought my car a week ago and love it. Got the car with sun and sound along with navigation. I suggest that you get all these features. The touring package is probably a waste of 1,000 bucks. Best handling car I've driven. Comfortable seats and great feel for fabric only interior.

Favorite Features

Seats are comfortable and feels like your in a sports car. Love the navigation/radio system. Sweet sound! Trunk is huge. It's definitely a head-turner. Steering wheel feels awesome. Keyless entry is very nice. Great acceleration, and forget sometimes how fast I'm going.

Suggested Improvements

Leather interior option. A bit loud on some roadways but may be due to the 18" wheels. Navigation system is from 2006 and could be updated. I think the paddle shifters are cool but would be better as an option.
