It's a Very Good Car
The 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer is a very good and economical car. It suits my needs very well, it is a comfortable vehicle for city driving with good gas mileage.
Fantastic car for the money
I bought this car back in April for my 17 year old son as his first vehichle. He absolutely loves the car. I purchased this car because car insurance was good for a starting driver, its warranty is great, and the car has great quality. I purchased it with the sun and sound package and the sound is unbelievable. The car rides pretty nicely, especially for an entry level car, it's no Mercedes for sure, but it has great handling. I read many reviews on Edmunds and Consumer Reports before considering this car. It was a great choice and Consumer Reports is always right. Overall, I would give this car a 10/10.
Excellent Choice!
I love Mitsubishi cars. My previous car was a 98 Mirage (original owner). I had that car for 9 years and 135k miles and never left me stranded. Awesome little car. I traded in for a new Lancer SE and I couldn't be happier. The Lancer SE has everything i could ask for. The car is so comfortable. Engine is quiet and refined. Fuel economy is good for the class. Fit and finish is excellent. Stereo sounds great. Sun roof and power everything seals the deal for me! I highly recommend the Lancer to anybody looking for a compact car with lots of room and excellent reliability.
Good Fuel Economy
I love my new 2006 Lancer. I have about 8,500 miles on it, getting approximately 28 mpg city/mixed and 31-33 highway. It is not the fastest car, but it is quick off the line. I put a lot of miles on the vehicle, and the ride is comfortable. My only complaint is the wind noise/vibration when only the rear windows are down, but cracking the front window stops the problem. I have the fully loaded ES and like the styling and amenities. I do wish it had more storage capacity, but I bought the car for its combination of good fuel economy and front leg room ( I am 6 feet tall) and have no regrets. I would definitely consider a Lancer if I was buying again.
Very pleased
This car is a perfect daily driver. Fuel consumption is actually fairly decent, I average 26-33 mpg. It's a perfectly comfortable drive, even with 4 people in the car. Although somewhat boring (it's just THAT easy to drive--almost drives itself!), I still like my little Lancer. I haven't had a single problem.
