  By DRUPPYWORLD - January 17 - 10:00 am

  Great car, love interior features... doesnt have awesome pick-up. I own automatic... After hitting the full pedal... I hit major lag around 40 something... and there is slow recovery another very minor lag at around 60.. Once on crusing speed great control... On freeways gets little.. Well it is lightweight.. Brakes are Great And Drove 300 miles other day... in 8.6 gallons.. Thats better then company stated.. I dont know how is that possible...

  Great Car - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Ricardo - December 28 - 1:06 pm

  I really enjoy this car. I have not had any problems at all and I drive this car a lot. The only maintenance is oil change and things of that sort which I do my self. One more thing to add, this car has no axles.

  No More Mitsus 4 Me - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Toyota Fan - December 23 - 2:00 am

  Hello there: I owned my 2002 Lancer a total of five months to the day. Its cold-start piston slap noise was so bad a co-worker actually called out he wasnt aware they were available with Diesel engines. The paint job was orange peeled, the brakes began squealing at approximately 5000 miles (70% of my commute is highway) and a leaking antifreeze odor had begun when I traded it in on a Toyota Echo.

  Good Car - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By asa0526 - December 23 - 2:00 am

  So far, have driven the vehicle for 1000 miles... mostly highway driving up/down mountains and through city traffic. The car is a pleasant surprise for me. Good acceleration ... low revving, excellent ergonomics, excellent interior room, comfortable ride.

  A good solid car - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By LancerGuy2003 - October 11 - 7:23 pm

  This was my first new car. Mostly the first 5 years or so no real problems with it. I have had some big expenses starting at the fifth year mark (65K miles). Still all in all, not bad. My mileage has been on the high side (26-28 city, 32-34 highway). Its at 94K and hoping to keep it around for another 40K or so.

  Replacing brakes as maintenance? - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By fccm - September 22 - 2:00 am

  Beware of their warranty!! We were just informed that we had to replace the brakes and that it was not covered since it is considered "maintenance" despite having only 20,000 miles. Wish I had bought something else

  03 OZ left over- loving it so far - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By lowzone - August 30 - 2:00 am

  just got the car as an 03 Leftover, dealership was OK,salesman was great. Paid 13,425 for a 17k car (plus tax,title,reg). great incentives from Mitsu for leftovers. Great deal over the ES with added options,nicer seating,coloring of interior. Rides great, havent figured out the MPG yet, only 300 miles on the car so far.has enough torque to get onto highways and we havent revved it up past 3500 yet since its so new.

  Still pleased - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By res - July 21 - 2:00 am

  My wife and i bought this car with 11 miles on the odometer. Great feeling.8 years later we are almost at 60k. This car is mostly driven by my wife.We use to use for long trips and am surprised to hear people have gotten up to 30 mpg on the highway. I have seen consistent 25 mpg on highway. Anyway this is a great little car that is nimble but lacks a little power.

  Better Than Expected - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By rod - June 10 - 4:33 am

  My 2003 Lancer was purchased used at an "auto superstore" in 03/2004 with 15,212 miles, for $9,988. It replaced my 1998 Nissan Altima which had 217,000 miles and a fantastic service record, i.e., minimal problems and great fuel economy. My expectations for the Mitsubishi were "OK" at best, I did not believe that it was in the same league as the Nissan. iIwas wrong! I am a medical courier and as of 9/20/2006 i have 200,867 miles on this little cracker-box car. I change the oil (and filter of course) about every 5,000 miles, use only regular (87 octane) gas as recommended, and change spark plugs about every 30,000 miles using only the recommended ngks (dont make the mistake I did by using other plugs).

  Reliable - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Jules - June 1 - 11:56 pm

  I bought my 03 Lancer ES new. I drive to work 33 miles one way mostly highway miles and average about 31 - 34 miles per gallon. I love my little car. It is a five speed and handles great in the winter snow. The only maintenance I have done is change the oil, had the belts changed at 100,000. I just had my spark plugs changed at $115,000, you think the dealer would have told me every 30,000 miles for the plugs, since that is where my oil changes are done. I have never had a more reliable car. It still runs like new.
