Sweet deal for the price
I bought my car just over a year ago and I have no complaints about it. I hear some that say it doesn't live up to the fuel economics, but I drove from San Diego to Washington averaging 31 mpg. If that's not good enough for you then buy a prius. Car has been great and everything that I bought it for. Fun to drive and decent power for how much it weighs. Wish I would have waited for the Ralliart.
Wow
This is my first brand new car I have ever had. I gave up my 2003 Pontiac Vibe for this wonderful car. I do work for carmax so I had a general idea of the competition for this car and I have to say that once I jumped in this car that I had no planned on buying I just bought it. What a great car. I'm very happy and I look forward to driving it everyday. It's quiet on the highway and seems to be pretty comfortable. My first tank of gas was 26 mpg driving in a mixed driving environment. I'm sure it will do 30 no problem on the highway. Great car if your looking for a new car under 15. I'd rather have this than a civic or a corolla.
Sweet car
Bought my car a week ago and love it. Got the car with sun and sound along with navigation. I suggest that you get all these features. The touring package is probably a waste of 1,000 bucks. Best handling car I've driven. Comfortable seats and great feel for fabric only interior.
Just wait....
I bought my Lancer in July, and like all of you, was very excited about the look, ride, value, and features. That is until I washed and waxed it after a few months. The paint on the rear side panels chips like you would not believe. I searched on the internet and found so many other Lancer owners that this is happening to as well. WHAT A BUMMER!!!! If I would've known the condition that the paint would be in after only 6 months, I wouldn't even have considered a Lancer. Oh yeah, you guessed it..."It is not a defect with the vehicle design or paint, so it is not covered under warranty." Normal road wear....you've got to be kidding.
Too bad for the paint job
After owning the vehicle for six months, the paint in the rear quarter panels is chipping by the rear doors. I took this to the dealer and they nearly laughed at me. The service manager encouraged me to file a fraudulent insurance claim to so that they could get compensated and repaint the vehicle for me. Body shop people stated that this is a design flaw and a lot of Lancer's are having this problem. I was actually told to just budget for body work every year. Such a shame because I love the car otherwise.
