Great Car

This car is an absolute blast to drive. It performs pretty well, one of the best in its class. The engine is very good with lots of torque. The handling and suspension give this car a very sporty feel. The quality and design of the interior are also very good. It was sort of an impulse buy, but I have no regrets.
Fun, but economical?

I've put about 4000 miles on my Lancer so far. It was a bit of an impulse buy, but I'm happy and I have no regrets; I'll cover the few things I don't like. After driving stickshifts for years, I decided to go for an automatic. I knew I'd lose some power and efficiency. The car is not particularly fast and I'm OK with that, but for a slow car I'm disappointed with the fuel economy. I expected high 20's or low 30's for MPG; I get low-mid 20's. One other complaint about the automatic is that it's not decisive on its shifts. The shifts are not firm (sort of mushy) and if you mash the pedal down, the car has to think about it a bit longer than I care to wait for the downshift to occur.

This is the first brand new car I ever purchased and I absolutely love it. Even though Mitsubishi is not as popular as a Honda or a Toyota, it still knows how to build a nice car for economy drivers like me.

My girlfriend has a 2003 Lancer and had no problems with excellent reliability. So I bought my 2005 and now I am very happy.

I bought a Lancer ES (Auto) for a good deal with Mitsubishis standard 100K Powertrain & 60K bumper to bumper warranty. Before buying this one I checked Corolla and Sentra then I decided to buy Lancer. Because for lesser money it got more equipment like key less entry, power windows etc. Fit and finish also really good and it comes with worry free warranty. I had 5 years of Civic and I have an Accord also. Still most of the luxury Japanese cars got the final build in Japan like Infiniti, Lexus or Acura. Other than luxury cars I believe Lancer is the only compact car build in Japan and that show its finish and build quality.
