70,000 Milles and still very happy!
I have had my Mitsubishi Lancer for three years now, driving from Miami to New York, trailering my 850 pounds jet ski to the bay all weekends and the car still is like new condition. The only repairs that I have done besides oil changes, change spark plugs, filter and alignment, have been to replace the spark plug wires. I am really happy with the reliability of this car. It has a lot of space, is strong enough to pull the jet ski or a boat off the ramp on the weekends, and has good interior space. I am 6'2" and fit perfectly and comfortably in the car. Thus far my Lancer has been a very dependable car.
Nice, but watch the paint!
I just purchased my OZ a few weeks ago. The cosmetic problems have been associated with the side skirts. The passenger side is not flush and needed to be replaced, and the top corners of both have to be repainted already. The paint on the skirts is already chipping. The radiator needed to be replaced because it was slowly leakingfluid. The only other problem, is that I find that the gears will grind everyonce in awhile even with the clutch all the way depressed. I think this may be just because of a new transmition.
Excellent Car indeed
The handling for this car is amazing. Comparable to that of a high end BMW. The turning radius (as almost every review has said) is the best of any auto of its class and those two combined have gotten me out of several tight spots in both driving and parking in nyc. LACK OF POWER is driving me to get the evo 7 coming out next week, but my current Lancer is outstanding nonetheless.
78,000 Miles and still 100% dependable
I've posted previously - two years ago actually when my car was at 24,000 miles. We're about to trade it in with 78,000 miles and when the salesman took it for a spin, he was shocked and felt that the car still drove like it was new. Quick. Responsive. Corners like a cat. We had a stick, so we juiced out more power by learning how to balance the clutch to take off at a light. Nice body shape- when I wash it- I still get compliments. Huge trunk. I think Mitsubishi found it's Civic in the Lancer OZ Rally. I'll miss it dearly.
