2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I just recently purchased a 2009 Lancer GTS loaded. It's great fun to drive extremely perky 5 speed. My only complaint is it doesn't have a leather option and the 5 speed could easily be converted into a 6 speed which would be a lot more efficient! The car is great the performance on it is extremely good for a 168 HP 4 cylinder (beat my gf's 08 mustang (it's automatic)) the fuel economy is far better than what it's rated at! I can draft behind a semi on the highway going about 60 and get up to 45 MPG (instant icon read 50 once or twice) but it overall is an extremely fun car to drive and I would recommend it to anyone! The car is a little heavy but it handles like a dream! No cheap feel either
Favorite Features
I love the technology! the stereo and the sunroof its all great
Suggested Improvements
rear interior light leather option and lumbar adjustment

Review
This is my first brand new car I have ever had. I gave up my 2003 Pontiac Vibe for this wonderful car. I do work for carmax so I had a general idea of the competition for this car and I have to say that once I jumped in this car that I had no planned on buying I just bought it. What a great car. I'm very happy and I look forward to driving it everyday. It's quiet on the highway and seems to be pretty comfortable. My first tank of gas was 26 mpg driving in a mixed driving environment. I'm sure it will do 30 no problem on the highway. Great car if your looking for a new car under 15. I'd rather have this than a civic or a corolla.
Favorite Features
A\C nice and cold, ride is smooth, quite on most surfaces, very fun to drive, everybody looks at it
Suggested Improvements
It needs a center arm console not only for your arm but to hide all of your stuff out of site. The other models have it why not the stripos

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M)
Review
The GTS is nicely equipped for a vehicle under 25k with nice pick up and go especially in the midrange rpm. The interior is fairly sleek with blue accent instrument panel. The 9 speaker Rockford stereo system definitely thumps with a 10" woofer in the trunk. The mileage is pretty good for highway driving. I've been averaging 28 mpg which is what i was getting on my ford focus but this car definitely has the fierce look to it. A real head turner.
Favorite Features
F.A.S.T. key fob system, Rockford Fostgate 9 Speaker stereo system Good fuel economy nice acceleration in mid-level rpm All the luxuries of a Mercedes at an affordable price
Suggested Improvements
higher center console for armrest. Armrest on door panel at an awkward height too. There's no way to comfortably rest your arm and steer.

Review
Mitsu could have made a winner with this lancer but have fallen short of the process. It has the looks, the killer instinct and presence that tends to say get out of the way am going through. Has all the bark but lacks some bite. It's not as slow as some people tends to believe. If it want to go fast it certainly can. It lacks acceleration though. Highly recommended for freeway driving (goes fast and gives decent MPG). Hate it on City driving (horrible MPG). Don't get me wrong, I love my car and I have it for 4 months now. Just wish Mitsu made it a little better
Favorite Features
Looks, toys and gadgets, way it attracts attention though not an Evo, fun to drive, awesome sound system (Rockford Fosgate), performs well on freeway (great MPG and suspension)
Suggested Improvements
Improve fuel economy, interior is good just wish its been made with a better material, leather seat options, improve acceleration, Mitsu cost cutting is quite evident with the Lancer and Outlander having the same dashboard (really hate this), handling a bit harsh on city specially on bumpy road

I can't believe that you can purchase a vehicle with all of these features for such a low price. Electronics are outstanding.

Review
I bought this car a few weeks ago and am loving it! It handles and looks like a much more expensive car. Everywhere i go i get looks and compliments. It's way faster than I expected for it only being a 4 banger! I'm not getting as good of fuel mileage as im supposed to but apparently this car slowly gets better mileage as it breaks in, hope that's true.
Favorite Features
Paddle Shifters, satellite radio and bluetooth

Review
I love my Lancer. I went to the dealership not thinking that this car would be what I wanted, and I actually had an appt. with an Infiniti dealer the same day. After test driving this car I fell in love with it. The pickup is great in the 2.4 and the ride is quiet. I have the dark gray and people think it's the small BMW! I trade my cars in every 2-3 year (lease) and always went for the high end 6 cylinder cars. This car is just as good if not better. I love driving it, the ride is really wonderful!
Favorite Features
bluetooth, navi system and style of the car, it is a sharp looking vehicle!
Suggested Improvements
If you can add leather seats, heated seats, and a little more upscale interior would be great! A little more storage too would help, and a bigger clock near the drivers side instead of the passenger side.
