    I have to tell you that at this time last year, I would have told you I would rather walk than drive in a Mitsubishi. After my truck got broken into, and the rental company gave me this car, I wasnt too thrilled. But after I started it up and drove it for a little while, I started to change my mind. I love this car. As soon as the rest of my money is saved, I am getting the brand new Lancer. The turns in this car is unbelievable. Thank You Mitsubishi!!

    I bought my car in April of 2008 after getting rid of my jetta (which was a lemon). This car is a terrific car to own! I have taken it on many roadtrips and it has no problems. My friends always have me drive cause they love to ride in it. It has amazing handling and it has some speed to it. For awhile I got bored of it and was thinking of selling it until I went and washed my car and I fell in love with it again. I live in Colorado and it handles great in the snow. This is definitely a car a buy.

    This car has exceeded all of the expectations I had when I purchased it. Mitsubishi is not known for its quality, but this car is very well built. The gas mileage has been a pleasant surprise but I havent given up any power. The car has quite a bit of zip that lets me hang with cars with much more power. It has a great ride overall.

  • Be Intelligent, Give It a Shot - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer

    My spouse and I were not seeking to purchase a new vehicle on that hot humid New Jersey afternoon. As we passed the dealer I noticed the Diamond White Pearl OZ Rally from knowledge on upgrade platform outside. We just had test driven such a vehicle. Both my wife and I took separate drives in a five speed. We were so impressed by its handling, brakes, outward vision, and tremendously smooth gearbox 4.04.1 that we placed our down payment on one in less an hour. The vehicle was delivered as promised in less than three days. The sales staff and management were very business-like and extremely professional in all respects. We purchased another Lancer ES for our college bound son for his NY trips.

  • Watch for the heater/air switch - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    I seen a review above me about the heater knob not turning to air conditioning. So I decided to chime in. I had the same issue and so did all 3 of my friends who own the same year lancer. Never on recall and they refused to fix it. 3k was the estimate. I traded it in this year got 2,200 trade because of the knob. It also had issues with the timing belt I had to replace it 2xs under 100k. Transmission started slipping at 90k. Lighted mirror cover broke off. Dont let me deter you. Im sure some of that wear and tear was my fault. Light bulbs burned out quite often watch for water under hood. Drives beautifully in snow. Drove through snow storm, 1 ft deep snow and icy wipers and all.

    I bought this car in November 02, and I love it. The interior quality is excellent, better then others in its class. Ride on the highway is smooth, and handles great. Over all excellent quality, and a great value.

    This has been the most fun Ive had in a car. I have teenage children, and the rear leg room is the best weve found in a midsize car.
