What a Car!

I love this car's gas mileage. It's labeled at 28/35 mpg but I have been averaging 30/38mpg. But I guess it depends on how you drive the car. The horsepowe isn't that great but for being a light car the horsepower doen't matter too much. If it does for you, then go buy an EVO. I haven't had any engine or any other problems with it at all and I have 43K miles on it. One thing I have to say if you buy it is to put on some high perfromance tires. It drives smoother, quieter, and you get better gas too. Not much but enough. The interior is nice and simple, plenty of room interior, exterior, and engine to deck out. Mitsubishi + OZ-Rally = Awesome!

great looks both interior and exterior. Corners really well and a smooth ride, however severely lacks power which is a trade-off for great gas mileage.

Great Car no Go

I really love my car - Lancer OZ, but the engine is what it lacks. I've added a Injen Cold Air Intake, MagnaFlow Cat-Back Exhaust, B & M Short Shifter, Denso Iridium Plugs, Carbon Fiber Dash Kit, and a huge stereo system. I only wish it had 200 hp. Gotta recommend it though, grew up a Ford guy and switched to Japanese vehicles for better quality, less recalls, etc. No problems 3 years and 45,000 miles later.

When purchased it was extremely zippy and quick. At 100,000 miles it got sluggish until the ALTERNATOR belt was replaced. The 2 spark plug wires that go into the engine made more spark too. This performance of the Lancer depends highly on spark. Great car - clutch goes out at 100,000 only. No other repairs.

2003 OZ

I bought a 2003OZ.It's not bad compared to other vehicles in its class, but since the OZ is the 'Rally Racing' it could use a stiffer clutch, and a short shifter wouldn't hurt.The seats are not that bad, but could be lowered just a tad.There is a wind whistle when i reach 100kph,took it to the dealer and they did nothing. They said they'll call me when the part it need will arrive.It's been almost two weeks and no call yet.
