Used 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer ES 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
Great Car
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 :)
Great car for its class
I love the car so far, it handles well, it's spunkier than the reviews give it, it has a fantastic roomy & classy interior too. I don't feel like I own a compact "economy" car at all. I also have yet to see one in my city, which makes it feel even more unique, instead of the dozens of Hyundias running around.
70,000 Milles and still very happy!
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.
Lancer ES Review
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.
Overall is a good car
I bought it used 1.5 years ago. In general, I am very satisfied - it has 65,500 and is still very reliable. City mileage is not great. I get only about 20 mpg, but on a highway its about 35-37 mpg. I did only general maintenance and changed the belts - at 60K they started to develop cracks (not timing belt yet).
