What's with the performance complaints?

OK, granted that I wasn't looking for a sports car when I purchased my OZ, but I'm still not sure where performance complaints are coming from. When compared to the other compact cars that I owned in the past (a '93 Sentra and '87 Horizon), my Lancer is just flat out more fun and a better performer. Add to that much better fuel economy (along with the other two) than the truck I traded for it ('96 Nissan Kingcab SE), and that's a recipe for an excellent compact transport.

This is a monster of a car in Japan. They tone it down for the US, dont ask me why. Lancer is on the cutting edge of what young people are looking for. Thats why i was so drawn to it. Im an aftermarket kind of guy, looking for performance out of my car. I know i could keep up with any Honda. Even though i just bought my car,like 4 weeks ago, Im in love with it. The guys like it, and my gf loves it too.
Great sporty sedan!!

Very nice ride and comfort for the size. Compares to cars much larger while still has handling of a sports sedan! Interior set up great to too. Easy to drive with great visibility.

I for the most part enjoy the car, but after 6000 miles I have a engine knock when cold the dealer says its the injectors that are making the noise...yeah right this is the same dealership that scratched the heck out of the right front alloy wheel then saying they didn't do it cause they have no curbs..hum I will see just how good Mitsubishi Corp will handle the complaint. Will wait and see if they stand behind the customer or thier franchise owners.
Fun like my Z3

Used to have a BMW Z3. Had to sell it because of my company's downsizing. Had to settle for the OZ but never regreted the change. Even having the automatic, the acceleration is fantastic even uphill. It's been 4 months now, and I am still hooked. Also bought my wife one but the ES version.
