I love this car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
By mrmspyder - September 30 - 10:56 pmI traded in a 2000 Firebird Formula on a 2008 Lancer GTS. I was shocked at how great the performance was on the GTS. The CVT takes some getting used to, but with the paddle shifters Im able to manuever in traffic fairly easily. The car feels faster than the specs lead you to believe. The technology of this car is amazing. I got the optional DVD navigation system with the 30 GB hard drive. Im able to store 100 CDs on the hard drive which is very nice. I love the fuel economy too. Ive been averaging 26 mpg and using regular gas, so Im saving a ton of money compared to my firebird. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for a sporty practical car.

Love this car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
By sephiroth1386 - September 29 - 4:46 amIve had this car for about a year now, and Ive never had ANY problems with it. Not even the paint chipping problems that some have had. The only reason Id trade this car in, is for either the Ralliart version or Evo X.

Proud new owner - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
By eric49er - September 15 - 12:40 amBought an electric blue GTS with CVT. Looked at lots of cars (Scion xB, Kia Spectra 5, Honda Civic Si sedan, Saturn Aura, VW Rabbit) and just bought this one. I love the looks and all the features. I bought nav option with Music server. Still trying to figure it all out, but I really like it so far. One thing: MP3 CDs will not store in the MusicServer, but WAV files will store, you just have to type in the names of the track yourself.

This summer will be fun... - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
By ssikpiyelnats - June 20 - 1:46 pmThe thing that I like most about this car, is that even at the base model the entire car looks aggressive. You didnt get that with the previous years. I have the ES 5 SP with the 650 Watt stereo and I love it. Im 64" and had to scoot the seat closer for comfort. The new forward swept windshield keeps the sun out of your eyes, great feature in Florida. The engine is quick to respond for a 2.0 L, and youre hitting 80 before you know it. The gas mileage leaves a bit to be desired, but its not horrible. The interior is wonderful, doesnt feel like it was built with cheap plastic parts. And the AUX port to plug in the iPod, thank god. Im able to carry my entire music library. Great car!

Features/great looks for not much $$ - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Mike - May 30 - 11:00 amMy wife and I recently picked out this car as we wanted to go from a two vehicle household down to one to save some money. We sold her 07 Honda Fit and traded in my Nissan Armada towards the Lancer GTS w/ nav and tech package and sun and sound package. Have not looked back since. This car looks beautiful and turns lots of heads on the roadway. For all the features you get (safety and tech-wise) you really cant beat it at all, not for the money anyway. Far too many Accords and Altimas out there, do yourself a favor and at least test drive the 08 Lancer GTS!

Love the new car!! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Great Car - November 5 - 2:20 amI just bought the 2008 ES 5 speed manual transmission Lancer and I love it. It has plenty of power to pass slower moving cars, has great design features and has tons of options that are standard. This is a head turning car for sure!! I like how it was built ready for after market performance upgrades as well. Which are definately going on in the near future. It handles great and I love the sound of the engine when you get the revs above 3500.

Great Car!! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Dan - July 17 - 5:23 pmLove this car. Ever since I saw this car I wanted it. Funny thing is I couldnt afford it. But when my old car was totaled. This was the first car I went to see. I just love the look of this car. Everything about it is great. The gas mileage could be better but other than that its a great car.

Great car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
By Allen Fort - April 1 - 6:33 pmWow!! What is there not to say about this car. Ive had it for almost a year and already put 16k on the thing. I cant leave it parked in the driveway, its just to sexy for that. It definitely needs to be opened up to get best results. I have the fully loaded GTS, has nav, blue-tooth, great system and dont forget the paddle shifters. The new Lancer gets great gas mileage and is extremely fun to drive. I do enjoy the keyless entry, however, dont leave the car on and take the remote out too many times, soon it will tell you the key is missing even though its not. This car is definitely a "Head Turner".

Great value for money, best kept secret! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
By geobraun - February 7 - 12:26 pmThis car has to be the best kept secret in america. I bought the GTS with manual trans. This car has the looks and prestige of an Acura TL for many many thousands less, 650 watt stereo, 30 gig hard drive to store cds, navigation that is able to play DVDs! This is my third Mitsubishi vehicle, one of which I retired after 328,000 miles!
