Used 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z Rally 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
STAY CLEAR
I have owned the car for a year now, and can't wait to get rid of it. I drive a lot 40,000 mile's in one year. Gas milage is getting worse and worse, build quality is poor, dash rattle's, door rattle's, now heres the best part the car has a msrp around 15k+ now a year later even if it had low miles its worth around 8k, 50% loss in one year, you do the math!
Value for money
I have brand new yellow OZ-Rally Lancer . Inspiration on top! Every driver on a road looking on this beauty, breaking his or her necks! Tinted windows, OZ-racing rims, all body spoilers, and this car is fast, believe me. You only have to try smooth short manual transmission shifts. It's like a poem. Racing sound pleases your hart on 4000 rpm. The only issue tracking is bad! I mean really bad, my tires loose tracking when I force a car, even on strait road. Wanna more? AirIntake will improve performance for another dosen hp, for only 200 bucks. For my opinion it is the best car you can get on this price.

My Lancer
Great little economy car, its not a hot rod, but has loads of room, is fun to drive and skips the gas station like the plague. Drove the Civic, Focus, Protoge and the Sentra, picked this becasue it had more room and just felt like it had more spunk, while being very quiet on the inside.
With Help...a Great Little Car
I purchased my manual 2003 O-Z Lancer new in Dec. of 2002 and have 52,000 miles on it. The only problem I have noticed is a delay in staring in the summer months...due to the higher concentration of ethanol in the gas. It has no problems when driving, just starting. I put in NGK Iridium plugs a few months back and that seemed to have corrected that. If your not having the problem, I would not recommend those plugs, they are too expensive and the gain is minimal. Mostly though the car is a great everyday driver. Comfort-wise, it's a very good deal for the money. Its performance is lacking, but with the help of the automotive aftermarket and a $1,000 investment, anyone with a tool set can remedy that.
not so great of a car
Well I have had a bad experience owning this car from day one. No ABS available on this "sportier" model, but the step down does. I got in a serious accident within 3 months because I couldn't stop in time. It would have been plenty of room with ABS though. And horrible dealer treatment from day one. The service manager tells me "hey we don't build the cars, we just service them" and that because my bumper has already faded to an obviously different shade of white, that is normal and the kind of quality product that Mitusbishi produces. The "sales" side has lied to me constantly too. Just horrible.
