We bought this vehicle after a terrible accident my wife, daughter, and I were in. The first thing we noticed was the design, which is a little different from some of the other cars out there. The other thing we noticed was the zip- factor... This car has a decent amount of torque and the adaptive shift control transmission is ourstanding. The ride is great, just like others have said, this car handles edxtremely well! IT IS ONE OF THE FUNNEST VEHICLES I HAVE DRIVEN. I will be buying another on for myself as soon as out budget permits...

I just purchased one to replace an old van. Very impressed with quality. Spunky and fun to drive. Was comparing with Ford Focus and it wins hands down. Better creature comforts and style for the price. Also better J.D. Powers ratings... Great Car...

This is a monster of a car in Japan. They tone it down for the US, dont ask me why. Lancer is on the cutting edge of what young people are looking for. Thats why i was so drawn to it. Im an aftermarket kind of guy, looking for performance out of my car. I know i could keep up with any Honda. Even though i just bought my car,like 4 weeks ago, Im in love with it. The guys like it, and my gf loves it too.

Lancer OZ rocks!

My OZ moves pretty fast. I can take corners in excess of 40 mph and the car is very stable. For the amount of money and the deal I got from Mitsubishi, I have no complaints about this car. So, if you're looking for an inexpensive and fun car to drive or race, definitely pick the Lancer-OZ. If you want to learn more about the Lancers, visit the Lancer forums.

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.
