Stylish, nice build. Not ubiquitous like a Civic or Corolla, so it stands out, at least for now. Roomy interior with great ergonomics. Seats are a little hard, but support is good. Lot's of great standard features. And again, build quality is superb.

people seem to slam this car in its performance. Two of my friends have cvics, and as far as I'm concerned this car is more fun to drive, and at least as peppy. I paid 16.5K and compared to the civic, golf, etc I think it fares well, sure more power would be great, but lets not forget the great interior, ride quality, check it out
A Decent Three Star Car

I bought the car brand new off the showroom floor in 2002. I was between the Lancer and a Tacoma, but ultimately choose the Lancer. I consistently got oil changes and maintenance done. I had the car until 2010 when the engine caught fire(we’ll get to that). If I had the choice, I would not buy it again. It was the first new car I ever bought, and I immediately encountered problems. Driving home from the dealership, the engine began to smoke and smell. The dealer said not to worry as that’s what happens with new cars, but come to find out it was all a lie. Within the first year, my power locks stopped working. I will admit that I have a lead foot, but if the car got anywhere even near 90mph, it began to shake violently. I have never had a car do that before or since. The car also had no get up and go whatsoever. There was no resilience from the car, and my rear bumper crumpled when it should have only scratched. The car met its demise when I rear-ended an old pickup truck around 40mph. The truck had only a few scratches, but the entire front of my car instantly crumpled, immediately igniting the engine and the whole car quickly caught fire. I had the upgraded sound system, and it worked well. The car drove smooth at average speeds, and the interior was comfortable and the gauges were positioned nicely. The view out the back window was good as well. The rear seats folded down and there was ample trunk space. I since upgraded to an 09 Town and Country and have been much happier. All in all, if you gave me the car for free, I’d be happy with it, but it wasn’t worth the brand new sticker price.

Overpriced and Uncomfortable

This has got to be the most uncomfortable car I've ever driven. The driver is very cramped and the gas pedal is far too sensitive. The problem is you don't notice things like that on a test drive, its only when you go on a drive more than 30 minutes or so that you notice how uncomfortable it is. Performance is much better than the reviews for it indicate, but the gas mileage is pathetic for a car with a 115 HP 4 cylinder engine (about 23 mpg in the city). At $17,300 for the automatic version, Mitsubishi is out of their mind. I've had mine for only two months and am already looking to get rid of it.
