This car is everything I wanted since the 2008 Lancer's came out. I have a 2011, and it makes me super happy to finally drive one! It is mean looking, and aggressive. For being completely stock, I have won plenty of races, and my car is still stock. So if you want a car that is great on gas, relatively cheap, amazing looks on the inside and out, and can go quick for stock, I'd highly recommend either the GTS, or the Ralliart.
Transmission fluid problem

It did great for 120,000 miles almost. It got to where driving 75 mph for 1 hour was causing the "slow down" light to come on even though the temperature guage never went above half. Google told me it was maybe the gasket drain plug and something about reducing the amount of fluid in it. 2 mechanics couldn't find anything wrong with my car. Having to pull over again and again to let the car rest 15-20 minutes everytime I drove for 1.5 hours was getting difficult. One day I just kept driving at lower speeds for 20 minutes and the transmission fluid burned... Mistake...because changing it can ruin your car. So.... yeah, probably getting a different car.
Great car

i bought my 2011 lancer gts off a private seller and it worked great until after about a week we found out it was a salvage car and transmission needs a wiring harness to work and weve tried so many mechanics to try to fix it and they all said get rid of it so my opinion on this car is bad because they are cheap pieces of plastic that don´t work. when they put the automatic CVT trans it it that don´t need to be in there cause they don´t function right. the 2011 lancer gts is a good car but not worth it. this was the first car i bought from Mitsubishi and it ruined my childhood dream car so i have to find something else. so my recomendation is not to buy a used Mitsubishi lancer gts.

After buying an Outlander XLS a year back, we bought my mother-in-law a Lancer ES, same Rally Red - same black interior (less leather) and same sunroof. After some 20 years of Mitsu reliability, we figured an 82 year-old woman deserved a new reliable car with a bit of pizazz. Sure, the ES is no barn-burner, but the 16" alloys handle well around curves, and there's plenty of gadgetry to keep mom busy till the end of her days! While I like the height of the Outlander, the Lancer does inspire more confidence around the corners. Of course fuel economy is a big plus. We we use to 35+ with our old Mirage. The V6 Outlander is lousy for mpg, but the Lancer ES is a champ!
