Performance - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By John Beecher - February 8 - 10:00 amThis is a great car. I bought it used from a dealership because the previous owner never made payments on it. Like its big brother, the Evo, it can beat the pants off of almost anything straight out of the box. It is a great car and I highly recommend it.

Great Car - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Barry - January 11 - 1:33 pmI bought my lancer es used for $8,000 with 42,000 miles on it and have put another 10,000 miles on it. I have not had a single problem with it and I get about 28 mpg. Its been a great car and I put about $1,000 worth of parts into it and now its awesome! People now think Im driving a luxury car because I put nice custom leather seat covers on it, halogen headlights, a spoiler, new deck, etc. Next, I want a turbocharger and some nice wheels, and itll be perfect. I love how you dont see too many of these cars on the road too. Its also fun to drive and has good traction for a econosedan.

Great car for what it is - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By StangFan247 - January 6 - 10:06 pmIm really power-hungry when it comes to cars, but I got this to commute back and forth to school and work while Im saving up for a Mustang. It is a very reliable car with great gas mileage. Of course, gas mileage and horsepower are inversely related, so I dont expect a thrill ride when I punch it. However, the little 2.0 4-cylinder does have some pep to it, and has great throttle response. (It also does some nice donuts for front wheel drive :-D). It has solid handling (impressive for economic tires and stock suspension). It tracks very well on the highway, even in the rain. The brakes are also very responsive. And even being 6-feet tall, I easily found my sweet spot in the driver seat.

Paid 2 much, my fault - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By K.M. - December 28 - 10:00 amThis is my 1st new car and I love to drive it. I realize now that I paid too much for not getting all the options. Expensive lesson learned. I dont think Id buy a brand new car again.

Imlovynit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By lancaboy - November 15 - 10:00 amI just bought a 2004 MItsubishi Lnacer a couple months ago so far i love it. i traded in my 2002Honda civic ex sedan. and boy am i glad i did the seats are way more comfortable. the layout is way better. The lancer even has a way sporty appeal inside because of the white face gauges and silver trim. 2 keep it simple the civic was boring. the lancer isnt. I love ITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Ralliart fun and free, service - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Zack Bardonner - September 28 - 10:00 amFor an inexpensive sports car I dont feel you can beat the ralliart. I have drove Fords SVT Focus and a few other slightly more expensive economy sports cars, none felt as fun or solid to cruise around town in. Something very exciting about this car is the free maintenance and warranty that come with it. About a week after buying mine I cought a screw in my tire and the dealership was more than happy to patch it up the next day at no cost to me.

Hair of the 4-time World Champion - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By love2run - August 21 - 10:00 amIm really sorry I dont have enough time to drive my car (cause I drive a truck all over the country).But every time I get in, I feel like this is the car I allways wanted. Comfortable and supportive seats, good power, very direct steering - Mitsubishi did great job with this sport compact.

Best Car - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Boston Matt - August 15 - 1:43 amNot one bad thing. Got me through college, several million bad nights and its been Driven XC two times from AZ to NH. It is like a child to me, 75,678 miles to this date. Next this thing will be on blocks, waiting for bubble rap. Ralliart made it up to the Car Driver est top speed as well. I am impressed. This is the best car I have ever had and I will NEVER get rid of this car.

2004 Lancer Ralliart - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Tenasi - July 21 - 2:00 amWith the upgrade in the performance levels of the Lancer, the Ralliart version is very nice. The engine power is significantly upgraded with impressive take off speeds, and the tuned suspension makes the handling incredible. With the 5 speed manual transmission, suddenly you are racing every other vehicle on the road. And taking off from a red light is now fun!

Fun to drive is an understatement! - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Jellyfishian - June 14 - 6:40 amWell I have owned my car a week shy of a year and have put about 19K miles on it bringing it to around 73,500 today. I am 20 years old and in college so I need a reliable, economic, fun, inexpensive car to drive and my OZ Rally Lancer is just that! I bought the car from a dealer and it was a one owner with a clean history and had great service records. I have only had one issue with it and that was with the A/C and my warranty took care of that. This car is a blast to drive and I get around 30 MPG with my spirited Driving. I have taken it out of state, to the beach, and to the mountains and it never lets me down! It will be with me a long time!
