The Lancer
The Lancer is a comfortable car to drive. It is peppy and can out manuver alot of cars that I have driven in the past. I have had no problems starting it in the cold weather. The only problem I have had is in the snow. The car tends to slid alittle too much.
It is a luxury car!
This is my first car to own-I feel like I dont deserve it. It looks, feels, like a luxury car. The red gauges look BMW like, the interior is refined, huge, the outside is beautiful. With the 2.0L engine, it has enough power accelerating and merging. The engine is so quiet and the ride is as soft as any luxury car. The corolla's engine is about 5x as loud and the ride seemed stiff. The corolla seems way heavier and doesnt accelarate as fast and as quietly as the lancer. The civics have a smaller engine then the lancer, the lancer looks kick ass while the civic looks conventional, and it is bigger then the civic.
Like my lancer!!!
Been driving my white lancer oz for about 3 weeks now. Got it for 16,500. and I must say i love it! The thing i love the most is the look of it. Most of the people get the yellow oz, but I got a white one, but i do not regret it. The car is smooth, and sexy. I love it.
Superb compact sedan
This is one of the best small compact sedans out there. It has enough power and torque to not be a dog on the road but still maintain great gas mileage. It is very comfortable and handles the road well, especially in turns.
It's all that I could expect it to be
I bought this car out of necessity. I really don't like the exterior styling much. I added 18" custom wheels, which made it look much better. The stock tires are tiny. The interior is bland but functionality-wise is great. A lot of interior space for a small car. The car has been very reliable. I've had zero major problems. Engine-wise the only thing I've had to replace is one ignition coil, which wasn't too costly. The car doesn't have much muscle - slightly more horses than a Civic - but it's what you'd expect for this class of car. I really like the stock sound system. It's fairly loud and clear, and after over 3 years still sounds the same as when I bought the car.
