Used 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Consumer Reviews
A good solid car
This was my first new car. Mostly the first 5 years or so no real problems with it. I have had some big expenses starting at the fifth year mark (65K miles). Still all in all, not bad. My mileage has been on the high side (26-28 city, 32-34 highway). It's at 94K and hoping to keep it around for another 40K or so.
Excellent Car
I just bought a Lancer O-Z 5 speed and I'm very impressed with it. And for everyone who says the mirage has power and the lancer doesn't, check the specs. It's the same engine!

The best small sedan
The best small car to drive. Handling, fun and design are outstanding.A lot of room inside. The engine has enough power to enter 70 mph highway line and commute everyday. Has good fuel economy and handling is awesome. You'll take 25 mph turns with 50 mph and not feel it. Reliablitity poven by German TUV. For 5 years old cars Lancer is better then some Mercedes or BMW! Great mitsubishi.
Love My Lancer
I love the Lancer of all the cars I have owned definately my favorite. It may not be the fanciest car on the market but for the money I spent I feel I got wayyyyyyy more than I paid for. The fuel economy is a great added bonus and the safety features on the vehicle are great. I even saw where the NHSA just picked it as the safest car they tested which only made me feel better about having my wife and baby boy riding in the car everyday.
Reliable
I bought my 03 Lancer ES new. I drive to work 33 miles one way mostly highway miles and average about 31 - 34 miles per gallon. I love my little car. It is a five speed and handles great in the winter snow. The only maintenance I have done is change the oil, had the belts changed at 100,000. I just had my spark plugs changed at $115,000, you think the dealer would have told me every 30,000 miles for the plugs, since that is where my oil changes are done. I have never had a more reliable car. It still runs like new.
