    I really like this car. I owned the previous version (Mirage) They have made many improvements - More power, more room, sportier style. I would recommend this car to anyone who needs a good economical well made car.

    I was the only one to ever drive my new car. When I first looked at it, it still had all of the plastic on the seats and and the dealership just got it off of the truck. When I took it for the test drive the car had only had .8 tenths of a mile on it, How cool is that! I have had the car now for almost 2 weeks, and have 366 miles on it. So far I love the awsome power from the little 4 cylinder engine, seeing how my two previous cars where both 89 mustang GTs. I am impressed with the preformance and handling of this car and looks, I get a lot of people doing double takes.

  • Ralliart Power!! - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    I have been in the market for a new car, and I came across the Ralliart. The performance from the variable timing MIVEC engine is great, and the handling is first rate. Combine that with a simple yet tasteful interior, a firm yet quiet and smooth ride and the reliability of a Japanese built car, and Mitsu has definitely delivered their "Baby Evo." This car stands right up to the SE-R and Mazdaspeed models in every aspect.

  • Great upgrade from OZ Rally... - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    I drive 110 miles, five days a week to work--having a fun to drive car is an absolutely necessity. I previously owned a 2002 Lancer OZ Rally and was very happy with it, except in two key areas--engine performance and braking. I just purchased a 2004 Lancer Ralliart and could not be happier. The engine provides quick response from a dead stop and while on the road. As for braking, the stops are short and solid--the vehicle remains stable and straight. All in all, I am extremely pleased with the vehicle. Those of you who like the Lancer, but require more power, the Ralliart is the choice.

  • Value and Quality - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer

    I have been out in the market lookin for a compact sedan for 4 weeks.Although there are a number of nice cars out there but I think lancer offers the best value for money.Toyotas and honda get pretty heavy on the pocket if u go for better options.

  • good car - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    I have had my car for 1.5 years so far and it starts every morning.Its good on gas and it is fairly comfortable.it can merge on the interstate,but you have to push the gas pedal hard to get it into overdrive.But all in all its a good little car for going back and forth to work and to run errands.

  • I love my car! - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    I love everything about my car. The best part of it is the gas mileage I get. My friends and family who have small cars as well are jealous that even with incredibly high gas prices (about $1.93)I am still paying under $20 to fill my whole tank. My car has better pick up than others in its class and has made me more confident in the reliability of my car. When I test drove the Ford Focus, I wasnt sure how reliable it would be a few years down the road, but with the Lancer, I knew it was a good car. I would be here forever telling you about all the reasons why I love my car. I highly recommend getting one!

  • You Get What You Pay For - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    So I got this car a few months ago, and for the price its the best deal, but you are getting what you are paying for. Dont expect this car to be more than what it is, because for buying it used for about $11,000, its basically an upgraded Honda Civic. You basically feel like you are driving a..cheap sports car. Theres nothing to it, its just a standard car.
