  3rd owner and no problems - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By jacendb - April 3 - 1:13 am

  I bought the car in October 2011. I was looking for a Mazda but this was the only available back then and I didnt have too much time to be picky. Besides the radiator breaking one time, I havent had any issue. No loose interior parts, no shaking when driving the highway. Its 9 years old and its still soft and steady. It has surprised me in a very good way. I will have to change the catalytic converter eventually, but everything else seems to be ok. Parts are more expensive than other cars, but you wont need many.

  Great Ergonomics - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By longdriver19 - April 1 - 10:00 am

  I chose this car over the Mazda 3 because it simply fit better. Its fun to drive, has good power, decent brakes and okay gas mileage. The interior is bland as well as the outside. I could do without the "import tuner" wing on the trunk. If I had to do it again with the same money, I would probly get the Mazda 3. That car has waaay more available options, same power, less weight, same brakes, and looks like a more expensive euro compact. But like I said, the Lancer having lackluster features has great interior ergonomics.

  Lovely Lancer - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Meggan - February 18 - 10:00 am

  Purchasing my 2003 Mitsu Lancer was a smart move. Mitsubishis ability to produce a powerful 4-cylinder is amazing! With Adaptive Shift Control, in the automatic models, my 4-cylinder, 2.0 can keep up pretty well with my 5- speed brothers and sisters. Hows my fuel economy, you ask? AWESOME! Getting anywhere form 22 to 27 miles per gallon! Mitsubishi has done it again!!

  Compact FUN! - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Ralliart - December 25 - 5:03 pm

  I totally love my Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. The power is sweet (162 HP). The suspension huges each turn. It doesnt have a lot of tunk space, however the rear seat is larger than other compacts Ive been in. At first sight of the dash you think that its plain, but it works well and is easy to read (no hunting through 50+ buttoms). The seats look great and also are very comfortable. The ratings I have seen on gas mileage have been 23 (city) and 28 (highway) yet I have been recording between 25-28 (city); I even like to race to every once in a while and still get these results.

  Great basic car - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By karl - October 5 - 6:00 pm

  This was our fourth Mitsubishi and third from this dealer. I needed a car to get to/from work and the Lancer ES fit the bill. Knowing that gas could go higher in price, I had donated my truck to charity and wanted a car that would be reliable, safe, and at least double the mpg of the V8 in my truck. After driving a variety of small cars, I went with what I knew and got the Mitsubishi and I have NEVER looked back. I have taken it cross country twice and averaged 30.5 mpg on the highway. With a Yakima rack, I can haul my canoe and fit 85 duck decoys in the truck and back seat too. Sure, I get a few funny looks at the boat ramp but it doesnt break the bank to fill it either.

  Love it - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Ralliartchik - September 22 - 1:23 pm

  I have the Ralliart 5 speed and love it. I had to trade in my 2 dr car when I got pregnant and I told my husband that I would only get a 4 dr car if it is 5 speed and sporty. This car fit me perfectly and I love it. If I could afford the Evo I would but this is the next best thing for a reasonable price.

  Ergonomically Perfect - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Paul Stumpf - August 30 - 2:00 am

  My 1983 Lancer LS has all the most important features I was looking for. Very pretty interior with all controls at my fingertips; 15" alloy wheels; cruise control; power mirrors; remote entry with 4-door locking from drivers and front passengers controls; front and rear stabilizers and front disc brakes. The car is exceptionally tight and quiet. The engine compartment is well laid out and very tidy. The Lancer LS is an excellent long trip car for its size and has plenty of legroom for rear seat passengers.
