Used 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer ES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Fun small car
I love my Lancer as a small car. The exhaust valve had to be replaced after a year and a half, but it was still running great and the service engine light came on to indicate a problem. I love the turning radius. 2 adults can fit comfortably in the back seat for several hours. Great road trip car except the trunk is kinda small.
Dependable, Solid and Efficient
After three years the only problem I have had with this car was its CD player, which the dealer replaced and reimbursed me for the CD that the player destroyed. Since then I have had no problems with the car. I recently purchased new Bridgestone Turanza LS-T tires for the car and what a difference. The car was pretty stable before, with some road noise, but now it is really stable and with very little road noise. It is almost like a different car. During these high gasoline price times I have come to really appreciate the gas mileage. I average about 29 mpg in town and 37 mpg on the open highway.

I'M NOT A STOOGE FOR MITSUBITSHI
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.
I love my lancer
I think it is a great car. I drives great. And has very good pickup.. I would recnmmend this car to any one that wants a reasonablly priced new car.
Well Done
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
