Used 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
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.
Just test drive one.
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.
The One to Beat!
Mitsubishi has a superior car in the Lancer Ralliart. The tires should be 17". I had a little rattle in the dash but that was temporary. I have had this car for two years and counting. It is a keeper, unless I trade it in for the all new '08 Ralliart.
Lancer Ralliart vs. Civic Si
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.
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!
