Love the Lancer

This car has been AMAZING! Before deciding on the OZ Lancer, I test drove many cars in its class (Civic, Sentra, Focus), and nothing could compare to the Black OZ Lancer I have been driving for the last 6 months. It is superior in every way! I was sold on it as soon as I saw that it was styled differently than ANY other car on the road. After half a year, it has gotten me from point "A" to point "B" with nothing but fun and energy in between. A great buy!

Lancer can be a formidable opponent of Honda and Toyota. The quiet engine, the functional power controls inside the cabin, and the cabin space itself makes the car cozy and fun to drive. I should say that making those sharp corner turns amazed me how this car kept itself on the ground and stable. The driver-adaptive shift technology on the other hand seems to not matter at all. I didn't feel the difference between this technology and a regular automatic transmission equipped car. But for the price and the features of this car, it's worth driving.

Lancer ES Review

The car is great, 50,000 miles and still going just as the day I bought it. Very spacious and has no problems. The Adaptive Shift Control provides precise shifts according to my driving. For immediate passing to being a gasoline saver, the adaptive shift control works great. Sure it only has 120 hp and 130 lb feet of torque, but when you step on the gas, the transmission will immediately downshift and you will feel the torque over the power band. Provides great reliability as well. Not one problem reported yet and it has 50,000 miles on it.
