Overview & Reviews
The Ralliart debuts, bringing a 237-horsepower engine, all-wheel drive and an automated-clutch manual transmission to the Lancer lineup. The GTS trim gets more performance via a newly standard 2.4-liter 168-hp four-cylinder engine. The DE and ES trim levels retain the 2.0-liter 152-hp four. The GTS also gains new gauges this year, while the Fast Key keyless ignition and entry system migrates to the Sun and Sound package, leaving the hard-drive navigation system as a stand-alone option. The ES trim gains an optional Sport package that includes some of the GTS's styling elements, such as the big rear wing.
- Confident handling, impressive value, full array of available high-tech equipment, edgy styling, strong engines in GTS and Ralliart trims.
- No stability control except on Ralliart, power-sapping CVT, noisy base engine, subpar interior materials, unimpressive fuel economy.

Sweet deal for the price - 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Ball - December 8 - 2:13 amI bought my car just over a year ago and I have no complaints about it. I hear some that say it doesnt live up to the fuel economics, but I drove from San Diego to Washington averaging 31 mpg. If thats not good enough for you then buy a prius. Car has been great and everything that I bought it for. Fun to drive and decent power for how much it weighs. Wish I would have waited for the Ralliart.

Better than expected!! - 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer
By chief - September 26 - 4:50 amIm a truck guy, I bought this for my wife because I didnt want a "family" car. I couldnt even think of parking a Corolla, Camry, Sentra or whatever else in my garage. I love the aggressive styling. Its fast, dont get the wrong idea, using the paddle shifters will push you back in the seat and get you to triple digits fairly quick, I mean, after all it is a 4 cyl. We got octane blue, which is great looking in the sun. Fully loaded, every option available. Even had the dealer tint the windows and the car looks even better now! If youre on the fence, go drive one, you will buy!

Outstanding car - 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Wolfman - September 24 - 7:43 pmGot my new Mitsu 2 days ago and I love it. Test drove 5 other cars that are comparable and this one was the best by far. GOOD JOB MITSUBISHI. Just hope you keep it up. The car has some amazing safety (good for my kids) features and lots of toys. It totally blew away most of the competition and at 6 foot 6 I enjoy the roomy interior. Lots of toys as well... Satellite radio, Blue Tooth, awesome stereo, and sunroof... Excellent warranty which gives me (new father of 2) peace of mind. Sales people were awesome as well. Let the car sell itself. They did not have any theatrics, drama, scripted tag teaming, etc.. Highly recommend the dealership. Great car and again, thanks Mitsubishi.

6 month update - 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer
By steven - July 5 - 11:20 pmWell, I have owned this car for six months now and its been pretty good although I have had some issues in which ive had to return to the dealer for. As with any car there are pros and cons. However, there are more pros than cons with this lancer ES CVT. The pros are great handling, very sharp looking, great mpg, good power, and a very quiet interior. I did have a few issues early on with the trunk light not working and the rear airbags cover came loose from the clips that held them in place. But those issues were fixed at the dealership. I traded in a 08 Honda Civic LX and I enjoy the Lancer much better. It handles better, and looks better and is more quiet interior and has more power.

An Awsome Ride - 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Noman - June 10 - 7:36 pmI was driving Corolla 2007. Also have driven civic. When I came here and saw the shape it was like love at first sight. However I must say it was the test drive and exterior shape due to which I bought this car. Fun to drive and very comfortable to sit in.

Great all-around package!!! - 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Octane - December 3 - 4:06 pmI just purchased the 2009 Lancer GTS with CVT transmission, navigation system, and Rockford Fosgate sound system. The car handles like a dream, is so fun to drive it is unreal, and the fuel economy is great so far. Mitsubishi has developed this car with excellent design inside and out. The tech features are amazing for this price range. I am very happy with this car!

Great Car - 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer
By porcrynd - June 24 - 9:20 pmVery satisfied with this car. 28 mpg in mixed driving, 33 hwy. Smooth suspension, very comfortable. Great warranty, great features. Very fun to drive and great looking. The Hondas and Toyotas are ugly. Try one and youll love it. The CVT transmission just kills the power but it feels very peppy with the manual.
