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

Review

It's an incredible car, I have it since last week and already I can tell you it was the best choice I could have taken. I love the car.

Favorite Features

Great manual shifts in GTS CVT, amazing stereo, great turn reaction.

Suggested Improvements

In the GTS CVT automatic mode, a more reactive CVT system, it sometimes feels a little slushy.

Review

I own the GTS 4-door sedan CVT. First off, I have owned my car for a little over 2 months now. This car is great overall. I have the nav package w/sun and sound, and those things are just amazing. Don't get the car without it. The bluetooth for mobile phones isn't perfect, but it's a great addition to the car. People can hear me clearly, just at a low volume. Also, the car handles like a dream. I haven't driven it in snow, but it's great in the rain. I've driven other cars in rain and always feel like I'm going to lose control, but not with this car. Also, the mpg is better than the advertised value. I am averaging 28 mpg city driving. This car is one that's worth checking out!

Favorite Features

Nav with sun & sound package, colors available, & FAST-key entry system and everything else.

Suggested Improvements

Engine is pretty loud, especially during acceleration (comparing to Toyota Corolla). If it were quieter, it would be perfect.

Review

I bought this 2009 Lancer GTS Automatic. First, for what you are paying, this car is truly incredible. I've research the others and read other reviews, the reviews speak for this car. I traded my 06 corolla in for it and will never own another 'yota after this car. For approx. $17200 out the door I got this car loaded and for what I paid, blows the competition out the door. I drove easy on my way home from the dealership and averaged 32.1 MPG, going about 60-70 MPH, not bad at all, I drive easy however. All I can say is, Mitsubishi, awesome job.

Favorite Features

Display, comfort-(I'm 6'3" 200 lbs) and this car fits me perfect, smooth automatic transmission, and well-built feel to it when you drive.

Suggested Improvements

I had to really think about this one, okay maybe incrementing the speedometer in 5' instead of 10's-Easy to know I'm going 50, but hard to tell if I'm going 55 or 35. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

my first new car

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer ES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

Review

Well I went to the dealership to buy a Kia Sportage. Then I found out that it was too small, and that I wanted something more sporty. I found the Mitsubishi lancer. And I loved driving for the first 5 miles, then before I got back to the dealership I new that it was my own car already. Its a fast one, with a lot of nice stuff. I got the sport package and the sun & sound package with the bluetooth, for only 19,300! I was looking at a Honda Civic coupe but the lancer is so much more worth it. And its a perfect size for a girl too!

Favorite Features

the sun & sound, sport package, the steering wheel controls, the mpg, the space, and the colors mostly the price

Suggested Improvements

it does need a arm rest for the driver seat

Review

I have had it for about two weeks now. And this car is awesome. Turning is awesome, get up and go is good. And don't forget all about the toys inside. Satellite radio is great. The nav is very accurate. All in all a great car inside and out.

Favorite Features

Nav, radio, get up and go, and CVT transmission

Suggested Improvements

Interior plastic, and better armrest.

A Real Quality Car with Perks!

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

Review

Ok, I just bought a brand spanking new Lancer as stated above. I just love this car. I've always been more on the bigger longer taller cars but if you're looking for a super fun to drive sporty fuel saving compact then this car is in a complete league of its own. I would recommend this car 110%. I looked and test drove many of cars before making my final decision. This car beats them all. From driving to listening to your favorite tunes to just doing everyday running, you just have to drive one to know what all of these reviews are saying. How many other cars do you see where none of the reviews can really find any real problems with the car? None that I have seen! Just buy one ;-)

Favorite Features

The sporty unique design along with the easy to drive handling. All the other feature are just a plus to make a great car even better. 650 Watt Sound with Steering Wheel Controls/Navigational System/Remote Less - Keyless Entry System are just to name a few..

Suggested Improvements

The only improvement I would make is to have other Lancer owners get the word out and stop buying those Plain Corollas and Space Ship Civics and get a REAL compact car with real interior features for a really great price.

Review

I knew about the low armrest in center and on door. However, I still loved the car. Nice sporty look and feel. The car drives great. The gas mileage could be slightly better, but all is still good. The GTS vs the ES drive is night and day. The ES motor feels like it is winding up and going to snap, the GTS sounds great while accelerating. If you get that sweet spot on where to rest your arm, then you will enjoy the car. Knobs are well laid out.

Favorite Features

F.A.S.T. key is awesome, key doesn't leave my pocket. Bluetooth works and sounds great. Navigation system is nice toy and great to have.

Suggested Improvements

Wish bluetooth would allow the Nav radio to list phone contacts vs just having a recording. FM radio needs to have RDS capability.

Review

I didn't choose this car. this car chose me. after 2 minutes into the test drive, the car was sold. it is extremely fun to drive with a tight turning circle and a performance tuned suspension. CVT transmission is great; very smooth. 2.4 liter sounds awesome and provides good acceleration. the car rides like a beemer; quiet in the city and on the highway with very little road, engine, or wind noise. I got it fully loaded with the nav, 650 watt sound system, FAST key, stability control and HID auto headlights. gas mileage is not the greatest, but the car makes up for it with how fun to drive it is. would recommend to any/everybody.

Favorite Features

turning circle, nav system, sound system, stability control, 18 inch wheels, fun to drive, paddle shifters

Suggested Improvements

gas mileage and a telescoping steering wheel would be VERY nice.

Awesome car great handling

Review

When I first test drove the car off the lot, I was hooked. The car turns on a dime and has minimum body roll. The 2.4 L engine is a improvement from last year. The extra horsepower if perfect for the 4,000 lb gross weight of the car.

Favorite Features

The bluetooth system, the engine, the improved suspension with the strut bar. I like the body styling also.

Suggested Improvements

The interior could use a little more styling.

One to add to your shopping list

Review

This was my first NEW car (7 miles at pick-up) - traded my Dodge Intrepid. I don't know how many times I've noticed people checking the car out even a stranger at the gas station who struck up a conversation with me about the car. It's an absolute dream to drive, a ton of fun and so packed with technology that it's like driving INSIDE a computer sometimes. Highway MPG is very respectable, city isn't the greatest but isn't that bad either. It's not a car to challenge other sport compacts to a race but if you're looking for a fun-to-drive car with enough get-up-and-go to get up and go this is worth adding to your short list.

Favorite Features

Navigation, Sun & Sound Package, F.A.S.T. Key, A/V input jacks, 18" wheels, exterior design.

Suggested Improvements

My only major complaint so far is that the design is obviously done for shorter people, it's very difficult to find a comfortable driving position where you're either not stretching your arms to reach the wheel or bending your knees and hugging the dash.
