Overview & Reviews

A number of new standard features and styling tweaks are added for the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer sedan. Among the former are stability control, antilock brakes and power door locks across all trims, while the latter include a shorter radio antenna, new side sill extensions, revised taillights and, for upper trims, upgraded cabin accents. A new wagon variant of the Lancer also debuts for 2010 (reviewed separately).

• Confident handling, impressive value, full array of available high-tech equipment, edgy styling, strong engines in GTS and Ralliart trims.

• Power-sapping CVT, weak and noisy base engine, subpar interior materials, unimpressive fuel economy.

  Not Bad for the price - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By karkai6 - October 18 - 8:50 pm

  Got the car used at 36k miles.. Got it relatively cheaper than the other cars in the same range out there.. The gearbox is among the better ones I have used and the throw feels very slick.. The performance is not very bad, but then the engine doesnt feel very refined over 4-5k rpm.. The looks of the car are definitely a plus, and did influence me considerably against the Mazda 3. So, overall, not a bad car at all, though there are definitely sportier ones out there at this price range.

  Nice Car - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Brj - July 1 - 10:00 am

  This is a very nice vehicle and drives really smooth with cvt. I read a lot of reviews about the car being down on power, but I think the cvt transmission is just that smooth that it doesnt feel the way some vehicles feel when you get on the gas, cant even feel it shift sometimes.The car has plenty of power for (normal) driving and not for those looking to go drag racing or something like that. this car was actually built in japan so the quality will be there unlike some vehicles that have a Japanese but built in some other country. The car is pretty good on gas and if your driving mostly hwy you should see about 33 or 34 mpg hwy. I plan to put in a k&n air filter to get even better mpg.

  LOVE IT! - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By dewaynej77 - November 2 - 4:40 am

  I have had my lancer for 7 months now, and still love it as much as the day I drove it off the lot. I LOVE the extras like bluetooth, 6 disc changer, sub woofer, CVT trans, and stering wheel controls. I get so many compliments on the look of my car. I hope to keep this car for years. I havent had one single problem so far, and I hope it keeps it up. Some people complain about engine noise, but I like the sound. I really cant say enough good things about my lancer!!!

  Economy vs Comfort and Safety - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Joe M. - June 18 - 2:43 am

  The 2010 lancer rides just like the 08, 09 lancers which are a new generation of lancers. The 2.0 liter dohc, 16 valve engine with innovative timing performs well but the 2.4 performs much better and is only available in the expensive gts, which doesnt have as comfortable a suspension. The cvt transmission is smooth and the car soaks up most bumps. The cheap plastics on the dashboard somehow make you wonder if they cheapened anything else. Ive had prior lancers and they were all exceptionally reliable - as good as a Toyota.

  lancer - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer

  My Lancer ES is a beautiful car, it can use a little more power but is fine for normal driving. I think it should get a little better gas milage than it does.

  Incredibly reliable, a blast to drive! - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By jazket - October 25 - 9:00 am

  I bought a Lancer Ralliart in February 2009 and I now have 20,000 miles on it. I just cant stop driving it. Its impressive for 26,000 I paid I got A LOT of car. I rather drive my Ralliart than my brothers Benz C300 (unless Im on a road trip of course) its incredibly fun. Mitsubishi is really overlooked as a brand, and this car should be on your list when searching for a sporty sedan, it took last years IntelliChoce for Best Overall Sport Sedan under $35,000, and well deserved! If youre into modding you wont be let down unless you really want to go big which is where the marvelous TC-SST fails, its still in its early stages and it wont hold more than 300wlbs-torque!
