I have had my OZ since November and absolutely love it. It's been flawless and the build quality is exceptional. Exterior is sporty and elegant, like a mini-BMW, and gets stares all the time. The interior looks great (love that brushed aluminum trim and the cream white gauges) and is so roomy. The ride is unbelieveably composed and comfortable up to 3 digit speeds. It handles good as well. My only complaints are the non-performance tires and the uncomfortable non- adjustable lumbar sticking in my back. Otherwise, the Lancer is an excellent car and definitely worth a look.
Great Little Dependable Car

I purchased this car new in 2002. I have been both surprised and pleased. I have only put 28,000 miles on it, and the car has surpassed my expectations. The gas mileage both in town and on the highway is great, but the best thing about the car is that the only maintenance it has required has been regular oil changes and new tires. Considering the engine it has, the car has decent pickup upon acceleration, and is fun to drive. I expect my Lancer to last me for years to come. I highly recommend this car.
Super New Compact from Mitsubishi

I wanted to trade in my 4x4 for an economy car since I am going to grad school. I compared all compact mfgs. I’m 6’4, 245 lbs - Civic was too narrow, Corolla had poor driver legroom, and the Elantra felt a little cheap on some of the interior pieces. Protégé was roomy and nice. However, ride was VERY stiff and jittery. Then I drove the Lancer OZ. It’s not going to satisfy the teen racer crowd without aftermarket mods,but in stock form it is a very peppy,solid, fun car to drive. Very roomy upfront and in the back. Excellent build quality, low NVH levels, and excellent IIHS crash results – it got a “Best Pick” rating.
Easy car to maintain and drive

I have owned two Lancers, the basic model and now an OZ, and I have to say I love this car. There's nothing spectacular about it, but for the money I feel like I own a quality vehicle that will take care of me. I also disagree that it's severely underpowered. Sure I'm not going to win any races, but it is faster than my friend's Ford Focus. It gets gas good, mileage especially on the highway and generally is just a pleasure to drive. Even a friend who owns an Audi said he was surprised at how well-put- together my little Japanese car seemed to be. I would definitely purchase this car again and again, and I've recommended it to several people.
