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.

  Waht a japanese car - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Juledum - April 4 - 7:30 pm

  I bought a DE MAN and I am very happy with it. The performance is very good and its fun to drive. I dont feel intimidated when a BMW or other fancy cars stop next to me in a Light. When they want to show the power of their cars, the Lancer response very well with its 152hp and its light weight. It is a good car for long trips.

  Overall Solid Car - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Bob - March 24 - 1:23 pm

  Compared Ford Focus, Honda Fit, Chevy Cobalt, and Ford Fiesta. Although this car may lack the gizmos of some of these cars, Im still glad I chose it. Love the exterior styling and peppiness of the car (ES Five Speed). Bluetooth and Sirius radio make the highway driving more enjoyable. Handles well on the curves. Easy and fun shifting. Good mpg, exactly what I was looking for. And it was a bit lighter on the wallet too. Time will tell, but so far, so good.

  Fun, quality, reliability and great valu - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By PS3Fanboy - August 7 - 1:00 am

  I bought an auto DE last fall and have been extremely happy with the car. What attracted me was the loads of features for the price, including power everything, 16-inch wheels, 7 airbags (more than cars that cost twice as much), performance reputation, high reliability ranking (backed by long warranty), and high safety ratings from the govt and IIHS. I have not been disappointed at all, in fact everything has exceeded my expectations. I drive the car a lot, 50/50 highway and city, and the fuel economy is excellent (I dont hard accelerate). The styling draws a lot of attention -- which unfortunately got me a speeding ticket! In short, this is a great compact car, best in its class.

  Everything you need - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Greg - May 21 - 6:46 am

  You really cant find a better car for the price. Ive seen some complaints about power which confuses me. I have a 5 speed manual and I have TONS of power. You just need to learn your car so you know when to shift. Its also very agile at HIGH speeds and slows down quickly too. I drive quite a bit finding a car thats comfortable is hard since Im 63" and 285 lbs. For me at least its one of the more comfortable cars in its class that Ive sat in. I actually like the interior as well. Its simple. I dont need a car thatll shave for me while I drive.

  Nice Sporty Car - 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By nick93mac - March 6 - 6:56 pm

  I purchased my Lancer new as a leftover model. I got a great deal, and it has almost all the bells and whistles. This is my first brand new car i have bought, and overall, I am pleased. It has been reliable and the Mitsubishi dealer has great service specials. I had to have the AC blower motor replaced shortly after purchasing, and they were great and hooked me up with a free rental car while it was in the shop. I recommend this car to anyone in the market for a fairly fuel efficient car, that doesnt look like a Prius. One word of advice, get the manual transmission. I wish I did.
