2002 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ

So far very reliable. Broke in at roughly 25,000 miles, and gas mileage and performance improved. Runs out smoothly to 5000 RPM. No maintenance problems, however there was a "toe-in" front and back from the factory, causing premature wear on the tire's outer edges.

Great Great Vehicle

I bought my 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z Rally in 2003, with 20,000 miles on it. it now has 60,000, g'reddy EVO 2 exhaust, wr intake, front, rear, and underside strut towers. I have beat the heck out of my car at the race track, both drag and sport track, and it just keeps going very soundly. It is fast on the straightaways, really hard turns, and three wheels to the ground driving later, this car won't stop. I was worried when I got close to my warrenty expiring, I tried to provoke anything that would go wrong after 60,000 before it so its under warrenty, and free. Well, if anyone could make an engine bomb out, its me, and every morning I still find myself face to face with an excellent running car. It needs more power though.

This is a great car. I have the O.Z. Racing Edition and it looks so great. The clutch and shifter are the best I have ever used. It is definiatly a great car for the money.

I'll give the OZ some credit...where credit is due. It's not a bad car, just not my kind of car. I've been driving Trans Am's all my life and the OZ just doesn't have the power that I'm used to. I really like the wheels, although 16's or 17's would be better, and the look of the car is just furocious.

Great Car, but no EVO

The 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z Rally is an absolutely great and economic car to purchase, but do not expect high performance. It's a little above average in handling and comfort, but without ABS, traction control, and more than 120 horsepower - it is lacking. I love it and wish I was a mechanic because I would do an engine swap.
