I'm really sorry I don't have enough time to drive my car ('cause I drive a truck all over the country).But every time I get in, I feel like this is the car I allways wanted. Comfortable and supportive seats, good power, very direct steering - Mitsubishi did great job with this sport compact.

I drove in my 95 Eclipse to the dealership not thinking that I'm leaving with a brand new Lancer. I've bought cars before and I'm really affraid of dealerships and its usually a whole day process, not at Coconut Creek Mits, I walked in at 6:30 left by 8PM. Now that's what I call service. Got a great deal on my trade in and on the brand new Lancer

This is my 1st new car and I love to drive it. I realize now that I paid too much for not getting all the options. Expensive lesson learned. I don't think I'd buy a brand new car again.

I was the only one to ever drive my new car. When I first looked at it, it still had all of the plastic on the seats and and the dealership just got it off of the truck. When I took it for the test drive the car had only had .8 tenths of a mile on it, How cool is that! I have had the car now for almost 2 weeks, and have 366 miles on it. So far I love the awsome power from the little 4 cylinder engine, seeing how my two previous cars where both 89' mustang GT's. I am impressed with the preformance and handling of this car and looks, I get a lot of people doing double takes.
really really good car

I bought this car because i was looking for a somewhat affordable, compact, reliable, yet sporty car. This car fit all those catagories for me. It is sportier than a honda civic, and offers a better warranty. It is not as extreme as the EVO, but it still has a sporty feel. So far I have averaged 24-26mpg on the first 3 tanks of gas. bottom line: Fun to drive. =)

This is a great car. I bought it used from a dealership because the previous owner never made payments on it. Like its big brother, the Evo, it can beat the pants off of almost anything straight out of the box. It is a great car and I highly recommend it.

I just got out of my 2002 Cavalier Z24 and switched to my 2004 Lancer RalliArt. Man, what a switch! My Cavalier gave me nothing but problems, because of how cheap it's made. Lancer, beats it in every catagory hands down. Believe me, I'll never go Chevy compact again!
Ralliart Power!!

I have been in the market for a new car, and I came across the Ralliart. The performance from the variable timing MIVEC engine is great, and the handling is first rate. Combine that with a simple yet tasteful interior, a firm yet quiet and smooth ride and the reliability of a Japanese built car, and Mitsu has definitely delivered their "Baby Evo." This car stands right up to the SE-R and Mazdaspeed models in every aspect.
I love my car!

I love everything about my car. The best part of it is the gas mileage I get. My friends and family who have small cars as well are jealous that even with incredibly high gas prices (about $1.93)I am still paying under $20 to fill my whole tank. My car has better pick up than others in its class and has made me more confident in the reliability of my car. When I test drove the Ford Focus, I wasn't sure how reliable it would be a few years down the road, but with the Lancer, I knew it was a good car. I would be here forever telling you about all the reasons why I love my car. I highly recommend getting one!

The car is great all around. It is compact, therefore parallel parking is a breeze! The gas mileage is economic as well. The seats are comfortable even on long trips. Overall it is a great car to get around for being a college student

I BOUGHT MY LANCER 2 WEEKS AGO. BEFORE I BOUGHT IT I OWNED A VW JETTA . THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME FEATURES BUT THE LANCER IS ALOT CHEAPER TO BUY AND THE SALESMAN ARE VERY HELPFUL. ALTHOUGH THERE A FEW THINGS I WOULD CHANGE ABOUT THE LANCER, OVERAL ITS A GREAT CAR TO OWN. AND THE VW JETTA IS THE WORST CAR TO OWN NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE MANY MECHANICAL PROBLEMS BUT THE SALESMAN AND VW CREDIT ARE THE RUDEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET.

I spent 3-4hrs a day to and from work in Chicagoland traffic and weather. I was very impressed with how it handled all of these situations. Its now 4yrs old with 121000 miles and still have not had any trouble except for tire issues which is expected with distance and weather issues. It still has same back brakes and suspension is near perfect. Very happy and will probably buy a new lancer soon.
EXCELLENT

I never did car for the Lancer before but once I saw the Ralliart I was like I want this car. It handles nice, pulls hard all the way to redline and I can spin the tires in 1st and 2nd which I like. The seats are straight from the Evolution GT-A and are really comfortable to sit in plus they hold your body while taking turns really hard. This is what the OZ edition should have been, also I like how they re-did the front end so it looks a little like the EVO. So if you see this car take it for a drive and I bet you will love driving it.

I just bought a 2004 MItsubishi Lnacer a couple months ago so far i love it. i traded in my 2002Honda civic ex sedan. and boy am i glad i did the seats are way more comfortable. the layout is way better. The lancer even has a way sporty appeal inside because of the white face gauges and silver trim. 2 keep it simple the civic was boring. the lancer isnt. I love ITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

My husband and I just bought a new Lancer. We were looking at Gallants, but I REALLY liked the Lancer...especially for the money. We also like that Mitsubishi gives discounts to loyal customers. WE LOVE THE NEW CAR!!! The inside is gorgeous and we get a lot of compliments on our car. Our daughter's car seat now has a place for the safety latch. We are very pleased with our new car.

Mitsubishi gets a perfect 10 for upgrading its econo/sport car. O-Z model didn't have enough adrenaline rush under its hood or suspension skills. The '04 Lancer Ralliart has enough guts to crush a puny v-tech civic. V-Tech or MIVEC? Well on paper and on the track it shows Mitsu has a better variable valve timing system.
Great Ride

Love it. This little car has attitude. It really performs great in traffic and responds well to all manuevers. I really am impressed with how well it stops and handels in wet weather. When I test drove it it really was the torque that caught my attention. A car that will go like that and give me 30mpg is a great thing. Enjoy!

I looked at several different cars before purchasing my Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. I test drove a Subaru Legacy and Impreza, Saab 9-3 all great cars in their own right. I however found it hard to beat the fun and excitement that I felt when I was behind the wheel of the Ralliart. The price was right, the fun factor high and the gas mileage great. It fit all that I was looking for and to think I would have overlooked it had it not been for my salesmans recommendation that I take a look at it prior to making a decision. As the father of four year old twins it works as a family car as well as a fun everyday driver. Thanks Mitsubishi!

I have never enjoyed a car so much! This is my first brand new vehicle and well worth the cost. Although it is not expensive as far as cars go, it looks it. People are suprised when I tell them the cost. The highway pick up could be a bit better, but once it gets going, it moves. The design is pleasing to the eye. I have received many comments from strangers, young and old alike. It's a wonderful, sporty car!

This is the only Lancer in the out of all trim to have a 2.4 L engine displacement. Not even the evo is packed that tight. The engine is out of one of Mitsubishi's SUVs and is a tough cookie to crack although it has evo parts it front wheel drive. I have mine fitted with a magnaflow performance 2.25 inch exhaust tail turbo, waist gate, blow off and piping with a custom intake. Rrm cold air intake and intercooler. Tien BASIC coil overs. Irotors performance brakes and rotors. This car although not handling as good as an evo has potential to be quicker in a quarter mile. It very responsive and I would recommend it to anyone with a hope to race
Wow, what a car!

I went to the dealership for the Evo. It became pretty clear that I couldn't fit it into my monthly budget. I was shown the Ralli Art. The suspension makes it fun to drive. A new engine gives it plenty of power. Also, the looks are really sharp. Plus, its a pretty unique car. I havn't seen anyone with one. I love the car and I had a smooth experience buying.
Great upgrade from OZ Rally...

I drive 110 miles, five days a week to work--having a fun to drive car is an absolutely necessity. I previously owned a 2002 Lancer OZ Rally and was very happy with it, except in two key areas--engine performance and braking. I just purchased a 2004 Lancer Ralliart and could not be happier. The engine provides quick response from a dead stop and while on the road. As for braking, the stops are short and solid--the vehicle remains stable and straight. All in all, I am extremely pleased with the vehicle. Those of you who like the Lancer, but require more power, the Ralliart is the choice.

For an inexpensive sports car I don't feel you can beat the ralliart. I have drove Fords SVT Focus and a few other slightly more expensive economy sports cars, none felt as fun or solid to cruise around town in. Something very exciting about this car is the free maintenance and warranty that come with it. About a week after buying mine I cought a screw in my tire and the dealership was more than happy to patch it up the next day at no cost to me.
Such an awesome car!

I just wanted to weigh in to let potential buyers of the Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart know what a great car it really is. I have had this car for about 2 years now, and have driven it really hard. The build quality is impeccable and its reliablity is outstanding. My car handles like a race car and the more miles you put on it, the faster is gets. Its gas mileage is reasonable considering the power and torque you get from the 4 cyl engine. I have had Toyotas and Hondas, and I feel that this Mitsubishi is just as good if not better, plus it has a 10 year / 100,000 mile warranty and free maintenence to boot. In my opinion this is the best 4 door sports car on the road for under $20,000!

With the upgrade in the performance levels of the Lancer, the Ralliart version is very nice. The engine power is significantly upgraded with impressive take off speeds, and the tuned suspension makes the handling incredible. With the 5 speed manual transmission, suddenly you are racing every other vehicle on the road. And taking off from a red light is now fun!

I own an '04 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart that I have auto-Xed about 6 times and done very well. I have tryed every thing I can to break this car. Nothing has broke or needed to be fixed! It still feals like a new car after 14,000 miles. Power is awesome! I upgraded rims and tires with 9.5lb 15"s and Falken 615 205-50-15 auto-X tires. Using a G-force meter my best 0-60 time was 6.6 I just test drove a Chevrolet Cobalt SS and the best run I could get out of that pos was 6.7. if only more people knew about this amazing little car! The only mods that I have made to it are, Injen CAI DEI rapped headder, road race ceramic coated 2-1 down pipe with magnaflow cat and wide open muffler.

I bought my lancer es used for $8,000 with 42,000 miles on it and have put another 10,000 miles on it. I have not had a single problem with it and I get about 28 mpg. Its been a great car and I put about $1,000 worth of parts into it and now its awesome! People now think I'm driving a luxury car because I put nice custom leather seat covers on it, halogen headlights, a spoiler, new deck, etc. Next, I want a turbocharger and some nice wheels, and it'll be perfect. I love how you don't see too many of these cars on the road too. It's also fun to drive and has good traction for a econosedan.

Hi my name is Amber. I purchased my Lancer June of 2003. I have really enjoyed my car, it has been a load of fun. The car has been a complete joy to drive. I have only had one major problem. The car just wuit one day, so i called the dealership and they sent a toe truck and picked me up and took care of me. As it turns out it was the cam sensor. It had come loose but after that all was great. My overall experience has been good.
