  Love my Lancer! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By khusin - September 9 - 11:43 pm

  Bought my GTS 4 months ago and i am really enjoying it! Exterior looks great, i get compliments wherever i go. It lacks a bit of power at first but fast once up to speed, and extremely fun to drive. I have taken it to a few mountain passes and driven it along the California coast and i couldnt be happier with it. The car handles very well with very good steering feel, although with the 18" stock wheels on the GTS it can be jarring at times. Rockford system sounds great and the sun roof is a plus. Plenty of room for me and three friends. My only complaint is the use of some cheap plastics on the interior which tend to rattle a little with the sub turned up. Overall tho i LOVE this car!

  Great for what you pay for! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By atoice - August 19 - 5:20 pm

  Keep it simple. You get a great overall car for what you pay for. Now, I have owned plenty of cars in my life, but for the buck. I got a great car. Looked at Corollas, Mazda3s, Civics, and Sentras. I could have gotten these options on the competitors, but would have cost me probably 2k-3k more out the door.

  Good car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Shane - July 22 - 2:43 am

  Loved this car, I have the ES. Nice cheap car to get you around. Have taken it to Dallas and back a few times which is about 4.5 hours away from me. Loved driving it every mile of the way. Havent had any problems with it at all yet. The engine doesnt feel that luckluster for a tiny 4 cylinder which is good. Car is amazingly sharp when just putting tint on the windows and giving it a good wash. A real looker. Gas mileage is awesome, I drive the highway to work and back and get around 33mpg when I dont use the a/c. Very very nice car, I would recommend it to anyone who doesnt have kids. Backseat is a little small.

  I like this car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Tom in Vegas - June 20 - 1:50 am

  I was set on buying a Mazda6 until I stumbled upon this car. What I like the most is the comfort inside. Its got lots of room and the seats are comfortable. I really like the radio controls on the steering wheel, they are very convenient. I got a better price and got more than I would have with the 6. So far I am very happy.

  A big mistake! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By MeanGreene - June 9 - 10:30 am

  I leased a 2008 GTS in Dec 07, only to get rid of it shortly thereafter. The right front door rattled terribly and the dealership kept pretending not to hear it. They also refused to print work orders for my car. The windshield wipers went out on me in the pouring down rain for about 5 minutes on the highway during rush hour. The subwoofer in the trunk became dismounted within the first week of me having the car. Ended up getting an 08 Nissan Altima Coupe. I love it. Better quality car and comes with better customer service.

  A lot of car for the money - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By ChrisF - June 4 - 4:03 am

  Plain and simple, cant get more for your money with any other car. Options match that of a Acura or Lexus. Fast key is awesome, navigation is easy to use, 650 watt sound system is the best stock system I have ever heard and the sunroof is, well a sunroof. Bluetooth is cool and music server is sweet. Interior is comfortable, exterior is slick with 18 in wheels to top it off. 6sp CVT has some giddy up and the paddle shifters makes it an overall fun car to drive. Its not an EVO so dont expect it to drive like one.

  Great options for "econobox" - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Clayton - June 1 - 1:10 am

  This car is miles above others in the compact segment. The power is adequate but leaves something to be desired. Other than that, no complaints. Looks at every stoplight.

  08 Lancer - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Lancer - April 3 - 11:50 am

  I love this car. Its my first "new" car and for the price I am 100% satisfied with what I got. I love the sound of the mivec when you get on it a little. There has only been a couple things I dont love about my new lancer: I wish the 5 speed had another gear; when I am cruising at 70 and my rpm are just over 3k, I feel like I am straining it even though Im not. (it does have some crazy response in 5th though, jumping up into the triple digits with just a little push!) and gas mileage could be a little better especially with the way prices are going. But in all, Im very happy with the car. Its a joy to drive every day!

  By chewy1885 - March 30 - 11:26 pm

  The car is a great choice for the money. You get great performance with awesome comfort. It is a sports car that is a great family car. I got the silver with everything except the navigation.

  Definitely built with consumer in mind! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By AP in KS - February 27 - 4:46 pm

  I was in search for a car that I didnt expect to exist: sporty enough to meet my high standards but would work for a future family car. That is just what I found in the new 2008 Lancer! We added the Sun and Sound package which is really fun for summer driving! Talk about built with the consumer in mind! Everything about the car, from displays and gadgets to handling and mpg, this car meets every one of my needs and wants!! The bluetooth, steering wheel controls, and multi-dash display make for a very safe and forward facing drive. This car turns heads more than my Eclipse! I absolutely love to show this car off, inside and out!
