Purchased 10/2005 with 48,000 miles. Now (10/2007) has 75,000 miles. No issues whatsoever. 29 miles per gallon mixed driving. Does what a 4 door 4 banger econobox is supposed to do and does it well.
Fun, Quality Car

Despite having only 120HP, this car is surprisingly quick; it must be due to the 130ft-lbs of torque. This is the most comfortable car I've owned, with lots of leg room up front, and a big trunk. All devices are well-positioned and easy to use. Interior and exterior styling is a little bland, but classy.

This is my first new car and baby I love it. Always thought I would end with a Toyota or Nissan, but today would not dream of them. Excellent handling ooodles of power and most important 97% built in Japan. Very stylish looks and good fuel efficiency. Already put in 8000 miles in 6 weeks.

I have had my car about a month now. Feels very solid when driving. Turns corners very tightly which is handy getting into parking spaces. The 120 hp engine accelerates well and sounds good even when revving. I have the stick shift which I prefer on small cars. The car is put together very well. I could find no flaws. The interior is very well appointed for the price. All of these cars come with power windows and CD which is nice.

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.
Great, fun first car

1 of 1 people found this review helpful
When this car was passed down to me by a relative, it had around 88k-90k miles. The car now has over 97,000 miles and has been my daily driver for nearly two years. Mine unfortunately has a lot of dents and scratches on the exterior, but the interior isn't in terrible condition. I got this car for free, so I can't complain, but to add, I really wish mine came with the manual transmission. This car has brought back my love for cars, has turned me to an enthusiast, and has made me plan on getting a manual for my next vehicle. I must say, though, that this somewhat unique car is still somewhat responsive and quite a fun drive with the automatic transmission (and adaptive shifting), despite Mitsubishis being known for not having the greatest automatic transmissions. I wouldn't say that it necessarily shifts smoothly. You are able to feel and hear the shifts, which I actually find kind of cool, but sometimes they can be awkward, and sometimes it seems as though the transmission will go back and forth between gears depending on how you are accelerating. With an aftermarket exhaust system this car will sound great and will make for more fun drives, guaranteed, even if you are running an automatic transmission. I have only had the resonator taken out of my *stock* exhaust system and an aftermarket muffler installed, and people still tell me the car sounds great. I think it does too, and it will definitely turn some heads. I got a check engine light a bit after I got the new muffler (the code referred to either an O2 sensor or the cat but I don't remember which it was), had to pay a mechanic to check that out. I got another check engine light last month, cylinder 2 was misfiring. My buddies and I fixed it by spray cleaning the throttle body and feeding the engine some oil, or at least that's what seemed to get rid of the misfire. The car was driving better after that, but based on our observations the car was pretty low on oil when I still had another 1000 miles to go before my next oil change which is kind of weird I guess. After all, there have been tales of Mitsubishis burning through oil. To add to the misfire fix I later got the spark plugs changed, the ones that were in the car before may have been factory. I have had no other issues with this car aside from that. Something to add is that the A/C / Heat knob is stuck/broken, so I have to go behind the dashboard and turn a gear that turns the knob. Basically, I can't have heat and A/C at the same time, I can't immediately switch from one to the other. They both work, though, fortunately. There are cheap replacement parts for the gear/knob online but I have not gotten to fixing it yet. The car protected me in a minor collision once. It's pretty good on gas but I'm not a big fan of only having 4 gears when I want to drive on the highway. It can be a little loud if you're running an aftermarket exhaust on the highway and can rev a little high if you're running the 4-speed automatic. The car also has a lot of wind noise on the highway. When going over 80 miles per hour the car can start to feel a bit unstable, I have been told before that the motor mounts on mine seemed to have gone bad and have also been suggested strut replacement (the car has a lot of body roll). However, none of that may be an issue for this car in better/newer condition. This car is a blast on downhills, not so much on uphills. It could use a bit more power, but with slower cars, the upside is that lower speeds feel more rewarding. I try to take care of this car but I can't help but try to have fun with it every time I take it out. I have thought about getting a new car, but I think I plan on driving this car into the ground. I don't know in detail what this car has been through before my ownership of it, but it seems on average to be a fairly low-maintenance vehicle. To add, it's practical, safe, spacious, somewhat comfortable, I took this car for a 2-hour drive two times without cruise control and I still somewhat enjoyed it as a new driver and as one of my first experiences driving long distances. I'm sure if I took the trip again with cruise control it'd be much more tolerable. I would say overall though that this is a great first car, and a great car for anyone who is seeking practicality, efficiency, reliability, and fun. If you are stuck with this car, I would say you're best off driving it until it breaks because it doesn't seem to sell for much. But if it does break, don't end up spending the vehicle's worth on repairs. The car doesn't seem to be too great on snow. The suspension is fine. The exterior is appealing. If you are able to get your hands on this car get the manual. This car has partially taught me how to drive, but more importantly it has taught me how to drive independently and with confidence. A great and fairly safe car based on my experience with it. If you get this car be sure to take care of it and it will give back. This car has changed my life.

This has been the only car to ever outlive a car loan. It is still going and still has great gas mileage. The reason why performance is not a ten is because it has slowed slightly in its old age due to the fact that I beat it up. Only basic maintenance has been done because that's all it ever needed. I am quite surprised since it is a first year model. I have never had to doubt my safety in it and have off roaded in it despite the fact that its a sedan. I don't even avoid pot holes and after five years, still great suspension! I get roughly 32-33 miles to the gallon w/126,000 miles and counting. I will cry when I retire it.

YOU CAN TEST DRIVE THIS CAR YOURSELF AND SEE IF I'M RIGHT. OVERALL GOOD CAR, BUT: I'M DISSAPOINTED IN THE ENGINE NOISE COMPARED TO MY 99 SENTRA WHICH RUNS QUIET ALL THE TIME OR THE 99-03 GALANTS WHICH DOES THE SAME. THE ENGINE IS a SOHC = SINGLE OVERHEAD CAM, COMPARED TO IT'S COMPETITORS TOYOTA, NISSAN, HYUNDAI, MAZDA, WHICH ALL USE 16 VALVE DOCH = DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAM ENGINES - MEANING QUIETER, MORE POWER AND LONGER LASTING. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 47, THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO TORQUE POWER IN THE ENGINE EVEN AFTER FLOORING THE PEDDLE.
Awesome, dependable car

Took a chance when I brought this car brand new in 2001, very much a Honda/Toyota lover because of their reliability. I have been more than happy with this car - very little has gone wrong with it and I am almost at 197,000 miles!!! This thing drives great, with so many miles still gets around 35 mpg!!! When this car finally dies I will most likely get another Mitsubishi.

I paid 15,500 for my O-Z (with the $500 college rebate=$15,000). What Civic, Focus, Sentra, and/or Corrolla can you get at that price with the 0-Z's extras and all around looks. Secondly, the car is a compact car. If you add more horsepower then it loses its purpose-a good, fun, affordable, attractive fuel efficient car. Of course we all want more horses under that hood. So just order the parts and put it in-problem solved! This car is totally worth the money and then some. Compare it to the top three in it's class, and you'll see how it by far surpasses the exterior/interior design and amenities that lack in its competitors for the same price.

The Lancer is a comfortable car to drive. It is peppy and can out manuver alot of cars that I have driven in the past. I have had no problems starting it in the cold weather. The only problem I have had is in the snow. The car tends to slid alittle too much.

Been driving my white lancer oz for about 3 weeks now. Got it for 16,500. and I must say i love it! The thing i love the most is the look of it. Most of the people get the yellow oz, but I got a white one, but i do not regret it. The car is smooth, and sexy. I love it.

This is one of the best small compact sedans out there. It has enough power and torque to not be a dog on the road but still maintain great gas mileage. It is very comfortable and handles the road well, especially in turns.

Exterior and Interior are great for the price - if you compare to the Jetta - then you will be depressed, but compared to the Civic - coupled with the savings - winner every time. The engine provides just what us econo shoppers are looking for - dependable, solid and pretty quick around the corners! Very happy with the purchase

My OZ moves pretty fast. I can take corners in excess of 40 mph and the car is very stable. For the amount of money and the deal I got from Mitsubishi, I have no complaints about this car. So, if you're looking for an inexpensive and fun car to drive or race, definitely pick the Lancer-OZ. If you want to learn more about the Lancers, visit the Lancer forums.

This is my first car to own-I feel like I dont deserve it. It looks, feels, like a luxury car. The red gauges look BMW like, the interior is refined, huge, the outside is beautiful. With the 2.0L engine, it has enough power accelerating and merging. The engine is so quiet and the ride is as soft as any luxury car. The corolla's engine is about 5x as loud and the ride seemed stiff. The corolla seems way heavier and doesnt accelarate as fast and as quietly as the lancer. The civics have a smaller engine then the lancer, the lancer looks kick ass while the civic looks conventional, and it is bigger then the civic.

If you can find something wrong with this car then there jmust be something wrong with you. A little more power woudl be nice, but it gets me moving as fast as the law allows in short order. I have been supremely impressed with this vehicle. The other cars in it's price range that I test drove were deplorable. This car is a real class act and is beating out my 72' porsche as my most fun car to drive! Now that's saying something!

This car has great handling and interior/exterior design, Gas mileage is good. 36000k miles on the car and still have had no problems even once! This car handles well in snow as well. It is also very roomy inside. I take care of it as much as I can, regular oil change, wheel alignment, engine additives, fuel system cleaners, if you take care of the car it will take care of you. I will recommend this car for anyone who doesn't want to pay much and yet have a reliable and good looking car. Althought this car could use more horepower but then again I can see why the Evo is the next step up.

I was in a car accident which was not my fault resulting in my car getting totalled. Unfortunatly I have not yet been able to replace it because the guy that hit me and 4 other cars has 10/20/10 resulting in me having to still pay on my loan, and being out with out a car. Anyway, because of this great car, my 18mo old girl and I were not injured at all. The guy was driving about 60mph upon impact hitting my front left corner and I hardely felt the hit due to the superior crumple zone in this vehicle. I love this car, and will get a new one as soon as I can. And, uh, yes, donations are welcome :)

I love the look of the car. It's sporty, but works great for my 2 adult, 2 child family. As small as it is, it has plenty of passenger and cargo room. I recently took a 16 hour road trip in it with 2 over 6 foot tall men!! Sure it was a little tight, but we arrived with out having to pull over a thousand times.

I looked at several different makes of cars and took the Mitsubishi Lancer for a test drive after I tested the others. It was no comparison. The Lancer was more responsive and had plenty of pep. The vehicles exterior is very attractive and has smooth lines. I really liked the OZ version but for around $3,000.00 more I can live with it and add to it as I go. I couldn't be more pleased with this vehicle.

This car is a great deal! You get a lot for your money although I would have liked rear discs and ABS standard. The build quality is excellent, lots of low end power for just 120hp, great stereo, rides nicely, handles well. Compared to the Golf/Jetta I also looked at, the interior is far roomier and the performance was better at least compared to the non-turbo versions. The clutch is very nice but the 5- speed is a little notchy and is gated too close together.

So far very reliable. Broke in at roughly 25,000 miles, and gas mileage and performance improved. Runs out smoothly to 5000 RPM. No maintenance problems, however there was a "toe-in" front and back from the factory, causing premature wear on the tire's outer edges.

I bought my 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z Rally in 2003, with 20,000 miles on it. it now has 60,000, g'reddy EVO 2 exhaust, wr intake, front, rear, and underside strut towers. I have beat the heck out of my car at the race track, both drag and sport track, and it just keeps going very soundly. It is fast on the straightaways, really hard turns, and three wheels to the ground driving later, this car won't stop. I was worried when I got close to my warrenty expiring, I tried to provoke anything that would go wrong after 60,000 before it so its under warrenty, and free. Well, if anyone could make an engine bomb out, its me, and every morning I still find myself face to face with an excellent running car. It needs more power though.

I'll give the OZ some credit...where credit is due. It's not a bad car, just not my kind of car. I've been driving Trans Am's all my life and the OZ just doesn't have the power that I'm used to. I really like the wheels, although 16's or 17's would be better, and the look of the car is just furocious.

The 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z Rally is an absolutely great and economic car to purchase, but do not expect high performance. It's a little above average in handling and comfort, but without ABS, traction control, and more than 120 horsepower - it is lacking. I love it and wish I was a mechanic because I would do an engine swap.

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.

My best friend called my car alfalfa, I gave him a weird look. He explaned that the antena resembles alfalfa. It is the most comfortable car I've ever been in. That's because the seats Mitsubushi buys have been hands down awarded the most comfortable. I drive 365 miles one way every weekend, in any other car I've ever been in it would be unbearable. But I can't complain with the Lancer.

I really have to say, I love the car. It looks good and its fun to drive. Its not as fast as the impreza wrx but for the 2.0 engine its decent. I wish there were more accessories out there for it, but i think that in time that will increase.
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.

After almost 2 months of walking away from testdrives that 'just didnt feel right', I knew the Lancer was for me the minute I sat in the drivers seat. Its comfortable, stylish, and nimble..not to mention fun. The car makes you want to drive because it simply takes to the road and wont let go! The highway is the best place for the OZ, but its just as much a joy to buzz around town in. The ride is smooth and effortless at any speed. Theres plenty of room for rear passengers without cramping anyone and with the fold-down seats this car is practical, too.
