  lancer driving experience - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By shari - June 2 - 2:00 am

  I found my lancer to be a very fast driving car, it kind of handles like a sports car. It turns corners quickly, you only need a soft touch on the steering wheel...these points I like,however there is alot of noise thats seemingly coming from the inside of the dashboard, a rattatling(just as if, the car has a bad chest cold)of sorts. The sound really drives me crazy, I took it back, 2 weeks after I got it, I thought something was wrong, however the repair clerks said something about the cooling system or something makes a shaking sound. Anyway,thats the only problem as of yet I have to say.

  Falling A-part - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Goober - May 20 - 11:03 am

  Since I purchased my car Ive had things just break off or fall apart. Gas tank latch is broken, It takes 2 people to fill up/open gas latch. Passenger front window motor has cable tangled up and same with rear driver side door. I have only 2 functioning windows out of the 4. Heater control knob has broken off "Plastic part" cigarette lighter has no power. My car is a dream to drive in the winter with no heat & windows down with rain coming in on you. The trunk can only be open by latch, key is useless in the winter trunk will not open. WOW what a car!

  OZ to RALLIART - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By lkwdkuraj02 - April 26 - 2:00 am

  I recently purchased a 2003 OZ, Lightning Yellow....enjoyed the car since day one....went in to get something fixed and walked out (after 5 hours) with a 2004 Ralliart.....I didnt even make a payment on the OZ....the Ralliart is so much FUN...the performance is excellent, handling is tight and solid, sportier clutch and short shift kit cant be any more of a joy to play with...

  Great First Car - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Samira - March 16 - 12:36 pm

  Overall this is an excellent beginners car. I have owned this car for five years and before I got it, it had 17000 miles on it from a rental car company. I havent had any problems with it other than standard repairs (oil changes, brake pads, new tires, etc). It is almost 6 years old now and it has just under 60000 miles on it. It is completely reliable and easy to maintain on my own and Im a do-it-yourself kinda girl without much mechanic experience. My only complaints about this car are primarily superficial. The only thing I need to fix is the ac/heat knob bc it wont turn to heat. Read my suggested improvements (which I think got fixed in future models, the 2009s are really nice)!

  Just test drive one. - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Ryan - March 10 - 12:06 am

  I own an 04 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart that I have auto-Xed about 6 times and done very well. I have tryed every thing I can to break this car. Nothing has broke or needed to be fixed! It still feals like a new car after 14,000 miles. Power is awesome! I upgraded rims and tires with 9.5lb 15"s and Falken 615 205-50-15 auto-X tires. Using a G-force meter my best 0-60 time was 6.6 I just test drove a Chevrolet Cobalt SS and the best run I could get out of that pos was 6.7. if only more people knew about this amazing little car! The only mods that I have made to it are, Injen CAI DEI rapped headder, road race ceramic coated 2-1 down pipe with magnaflow cat and wide open muffler.

  Great small car for its money - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Sofia - October 27 - 10:00 am

  Had Mitsubishi Mirage for 3 years, nice small car that never failed. Stoped at Mitsubishi to check new Lancer and liked the value - price/performans/quality. Toyota or Honda or even Ford with same options will cost much more!

  Wonderful Wheels - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By golfergod - September 3 - 10:00 am

  Traded in a Ford van. Heaven replaced the hell we were driving. We could not be more pleased. This is a wonderful ride. We also have a Hyundai Elantra which is okay, but the Lancer is a quantum leap above the Hyundai. I know of no other car that gives you this fine a car for the price. We paid $4,500 under the sticker price.
