The entire Lancer line gets a redesigned front fascia with Mitsubishi's corporate grille design, plus new integrated bumpers, halogen headlamps and a relocated rear license plate.

  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.

  BETTER THAN JAPAN AMER MANUFURED CARS - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By ROOKIE - August 8 - 2:00 am

  WHILE BLISTERING ACCELERATION IS NOT EVIDENT, THE 5-SP WITH DEFT USE OF CLUTCH AND 4.11-1 REAR WILL HOLD ITS OWN THROUGH ALL LEGAL LIMITS AND BEYOND AS REQUIRED TO KEEP UP W/ TRAFFIC IN NJ. THIS IS ESP EVIDENT ON RT 80 EARLY AM WEST BOUND TOWARDS PA. CONTROLS ARE WELL DESIGNED. REMEMBER; DURING WORLD WAR II, BELIEVE MITSHUBISHI MADE AIRPLANE ENGINES OF NOTE. I TRUST THE 2.0 LITER SOHC, 9.5- 1 COMPRESSION. FACT IS, I TREAT IT TO SUPER-UNLEADED IN WINTER TO PREVENT GAS LINE-FREEZE-UPS IN OUR UNIQUE CLIMATE. PITY WE DO NOT HAVE AGIP PRODUCTS HERE TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

  Best Performance Car for $18,000 - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By jjorgens - July 15 - 4:06 am

  This is the most fun car Ive ever driven! I absolutely love the cool look of the car and how it turns heads everywhere I drive it. The performance is amazing and it accelerates *extremely* quickly in 1st and 2nd gear. The stock Eagle RS tires were kinda junk tires, but were fun to abuse. This was my first stick shift car and the drivetrain has sustained my abuse. The stock sound system with the Sun & Sound Package is AMAZING! The only problem I had was with the rear suspension squeaking in extremely cold Wisconsin winters which was fixed under warranty after finding a good service manager.

  Great Small Car! - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By golfergod - May 4 - 10:00 am

  We have had our MITSU for a little over a month and we have used it around town and on trips of over 50 miles. It is a wonderful small car. Our other car is a Hyundai and the Mitsu is a definite level above in fit, finish, and performance. We are getting 30 MPG plus, which is why we bought the car in the first place. It is not an Avalon, or a Passat, but it only cost half as much. For the price it is a wonderful small car.

  Pros for Lancer - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By kipsoin - March 26 - 2:00 am

  I traded my 2002 Lancer OZ for the Ralliart Sedan. Excellent ride and reliability. Would have preferred the Sportback but diddnt come with Manual Transmission. My other car is a BMW 323i, Love the Ralliart for its nimbleness and fast take offs. Not great at high speeds but bests 90% of Mid size cars

  The One to Beat! - 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By aralliart - March 16 - 1:00 am

  Mitsubishi has a superior car in the Lancer Ralliart. The tires should be 17". I had a little rattle in the dash but that was temporary. I have had this car for two years and counting. It is a keeper, unless I trade it in for the all new 08 Ralliart.
