  Decent Car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By mike - January 31 - 9:46 pm

  I bought my mitsu in 2008 and am very surprised I dont see more of these around. I love the sporty design on the outside especially with the dark gray color looks exactly like a shark. The interior is comfortable and clean looking but some of the interior plastics are cheap. I also dont like the upholstery a kind of felt material that my dogs hair clings too. I find the gas mileage adequate but power is a little low;although through corners it definitely shows a sportier side. The rockford fosgate stereo is awesome as well as the easy to use navigation system. The tires make the car useless in snow because they are summer time ones. Also, starting the car is a little rough in really cold weather

  Great Car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Nate - November 24 - 2:53 am

  This is a great, fun car. The GTS model with all the toys is the one you want. The GPS navigation is easy to use, the Bluetooth is a great convenience, the 18 inch wheels give this car a fantastic look. I just wish this car, the GTS variant that is, was given more power and I do agree with another reviewer that it should be about 10-20 more horses. Despite that, the car handles greatly thanks to a solid chassis that also is begging for more power. Honestly, with the Electric Blue Pearl color, I am also getting thumbs up everywhere I go.

  Never looked back! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By LovelyNurseLindy - November 15 - 1:56 pm

  I did my research and test drove a lot of cars. This car is by far the most car for the money! I got a loaded Lancer for the base price of other brands (altima, etc.). Ive had my car for 4 months now and I am very happy with everything! Love the car, especially the extras. Get a lot of looks on the road and family and friends love it! I havent looked back since I got it. It makes driving fun again.

  Lancer GTS is a Fun Vehicle to Drive - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By terrynconnct - October 19 - 11:20 am

  The vehicle has a unique look that sets it apart from other vehicles. It has a great pickup for a 4 cyl 2.0 engine and with the optional paddle shift, it provides even greater excitement. The on-board LCD display with GPS navigation and high end sound system just adds to greater enjoyment.

  I wasnt looking for a new Lancer - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By tgriffaton - September 20 - 1:26 pm

  I wasnt looking for a new car, but a deer convinced me to look for a new one! So I headed over to the dealer... wow!! Love the styling of the inside and outside. Car shifts great, the handling and feel are much better than my 2004. This car is a head turner!

  Great Car For The Money - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By hayesd2 - August 20 - 12:33 am

  I bought the 08 new and have had it now for a little over a year. I have the "sun and fun" package along with the wing on the rear. The only real flaw I can think of is that the car should have had a 6th gear. Gas mileage would have been far better and the wear and tear on the engine would be reduced. I would buy it again

  Lancer GTS is a great car for the price - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By AaronB - May 30 - 9:40 pm

  I did a lot of research before I decided to buy this car, and I couldnt be happier with my decision. You get a lot of car for your money. Some decent factory equipment (unfortunately mine didnt come with the nav system). Surprisingly comfortable for a small car with a driver whos 62 (3 inches of head room). The new exterior redesign is just awesome. Really a fun car to drive. The only real complaint I have is that this car could use more horses.

  Amazing Car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Brian - April 2 - 12:26 am

  I have wanted a Mitsubishi for a few years now. I am in college and I had an 04 Mazda3. We had so many problems with it, it was time to get rid of it. I saw the new Lancer and I fell in love with it. I am a red guy, so I saw the commercials with the Rally Red Metallic paint job and I fell in love with the car. I needed the Sun and Sound Package for sure. The navigation was a little too expensive for me, but the car is great without it. Within a week of looking at them, I bought one. I have the only Rally Red Metallic GTS CVT with the Sun and sound package that was available in the state. It was very hard to find, but the salesman did a great job at getting it for me.

  No ifs, ands or buts - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By justin - March 22 - 8:06 pm

  While its not the Evo X, its still a great car and fun to drive. The CVT is one of the best features on this car. While other cars lose speed when up-shifting, the Lancer w/ CVT just keeps gaining speed.

  Glad its GONE - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By HK416 - March 17 - 11:46 am

  Glad my Lancer is gone & someone elses problem. Would not buy one, would not recommend one, will never own one again. Extremely under-powered, not comfortable, cheaply build. The only redeeming factor with this car is the fuel mileage, other than that - stay away from these. Heaven forbid you have to use the A/C because the A/C will use 3 of the 4 gerbils powering this car. Had mine less than 18 months; and oh so happy it is gone.
