Overview & Reviews

The Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback makes its debut for 2010 as essentially a hatchback version of the Lancer offered in only the two upper trims -- the sporty GTS and the rapid Ralliart.

• Practical hatchback body style, competent handling, strong performance, full array of available high-tech equipment, edgy styling.

• Lackluster fuel economy, subpar interior materials, awkward touchscreen interface.

  Just bought a 2010 Sportback, still new on the dealers lot! - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback
  By chefk - June 29 - 10:02 pm

  So I saw the local Mitsubishi dealer had a few 2010 Mitsus still on the lot. The 2011s are on their way out so I decided to see if I could get a bargain. I found my Black on Black Lancer GTS Sportback sitting there. Why it was still there I have no idea. Beautiful car. Performs great, handles great, and I am getting great gas mileage. The dash display give plenty of MPG info to keep you driving smart and still maintains its sporty nature. Some reviews complain about the plastics in the interior. One thing the fail to mention is that the dull finish plastics do not reflect the sun. Glare is practically non-existant in this car. I think the interior is comfortable.

  Now we have an Evo-Hatch! - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback
  By Odin - March 14 - 3:56 am

  Got the car a few weeks ago, fell in love with this Turbo-Hatch! No doubt about the performance, its all from Mitsu rally gene: Never felt turbo- lag; Reaction is lighting fast (in sport mode with the twin-clutch); AWD lets the beast stick on the road all the time no matter how terrible the weather/condition is; Plus the brilliant Rockford stereo and Recaro bucket seats making the ride as such a pleasure... Well, there are tons of good things making you forget about the tough riding though. Besides, if you were enjoying the sporty driving, the engine "noise" would double the fun then. Since its a Turbo+AWD, you need to save some pennies for the Premium gas and maintenance for sure. Good luck!

  Great sports average car - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback
  By joe - August 11 - 1:10 am

  I think its a great car. It has a good looking design. While its not totally up to par with the Mazda3, it is still excellent. The fuel mileage is not the best, but then again its a sports car. Ive been told by the passengers that the room in the back seat is surprisingly spacious. Great stereo system. Feels great to drive

  Not my Audi TT, but great for $20k less - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback
  By cutcoll - November 23 - 10:00 am

  I use my Mitsubishi Lancer SB/GTS for driving to work and chores. I have an 2009 Audi TT 2.0/Quattro I drive when Im not going to work. When Im driving the Lancer, I often wonder where the $20k difference in price is. The Lancer has many of the same features like auto. headlights and wipers, heated leather seats, pwr windows, ABS/ATC/ASC, 4 wheel disc brakes,anti-theft system, 18" aluminum wheels(extra $850 on the TT), cruise control, paddle shifters, steering wheel mounted controls, automatic temperature control... So where is the difference? The Lancer exceeds the mpg rating. Im averaging 30 with mixed driving. Plus the Lancers 6CD sound system puts the Audis to shame.

  By joeye - July 15 - 4:40 am

  I was looking at a compact car...Found Lancer. Wow its great...ride is good and steering feel is great as well. It has everything I want from leather to heated seats. Honestly... I can say that Mitsub has very good reliability. Please dont hesitate and buy this. It is a true under dog in its class.
