Blocked visibility

After 6 weeks, sun visors fail. When in use, they will drift down, blocking forward vision. Mitsubishi dealer replaced my visors with new ones. After about 4 weeks, they do the same thing. I find it hard to drive toward the sun, holding the visor in position with one hand and steering, shifting and using turn signals with the other hand. Other Mitsubishi models have better visors. Mitsubishi seems uninterested in fixing this problem on the Lancer.

Four Season Sports Car

Like the title says the Ralliart is a four season sports car. Take the summer tires and wheels off and replace them with a set of winter tires and wheels and you are ready for winter. The car is a "Evo-lite"

Everything you need

You really can't find a better car for the price. I've seen some complaints about power which confuses me. I have a 5 speed manual and I have TONS of power. You just need to learn your car so you know when to shift. It's also very agile at HIGH speeds and slows down quickly too. I drive quite a bit finding a car that's comfortable is hard since I'm 6'3" and 285 lbs. For me at least it's one of the more comfortable cars in it's class that I've sat in. I actually like the interior as well. It's simple. I don't need a car that'll shave for me while I drive.

My Lancer ES is a beautiful car, it can use a little more power but is fine for normal driving. I think it should get a little better gas milage than it does.
