  Nice little sedan - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By EW1328 - October 28 - 2:00 am

  Good handling. Not the fastest in its class but very quick off the line. Love the styling. The car feels bigger than it is on the highway, very stable and quite if you keep it under 110km/h (70mph). Impressive standard equipment. One bonus is you dont see youself come and go on the road like civic or corolla. Best kept secret in the small car market.

  Well....I guess I like it - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By colembaw - October 11 - 10:46 am

  I like my Lancer, but I think that it is a little average. The fuel economy is OK, the ride is OK, I dont want to come across as an unsatisfied customer, but I just havent been blown away by the car. The interior is above average, I like the standard features, but overall I havent been thrilled with the pick-up or the way that I have been followed up with by the dealership (none). Being a car salesman now, I look back on the experience I had and see how to not sell a customer a car.

  A car that adapts to your life - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By garlinghouse - October 8 - 10:20 am

  My Lancer ES was my first new car. Being young and immature I drove it like a rally car the first 10k miles of its life. As I got more responsible and mature I began driving it normally. After getting married and having 2 kids it made a great family car. My wife now uses it everyday to make long commutes to work and school driving at least 150 miles a day. This car still gets great gas mileage around 27mph average, has never let me or my family down even at 80k plus miles. This car can take anything you or your life throw its way. All it asks in return is follow its maintenance schedule by the book and this car will do whatever you need it to do.... within reason! Highly recommended.

  Some problems - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Laura - August 21 - 11:33 pm

  Ive had this car for two years and I do put a lot of miles on it annually. It ran great initially, but since I hit 90,000 miles Ive had to put about $2,000 in to repairs. front and rear axle, exhaust system, break pads and shoes 3-4 times in the last two years, transmission, etc. It is also extremely loud, the external noise I can hear with the windows rolled up is kind of ridiculous. It is extremely comfortable to sit in and fun to drive but not worth it anymore. Also, as I work in a city and have to parallel park, my car gets bumped around a lot be less contentious drivers. The thing dents as easily as a soda can! Theres a dent from someone having leaned against it!

  An OK alternative - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Drew - August 11 - 9:03 pm

  I bought my Lancer used, with about 36,000 miles on it. Its been a solid performer so far, but it should be for the first 100,000 miles. Any car should. The car should have more horsepower. Theres no reason it shouldnt be in the 160-170 HP range when the Rally version is well over 200. The gas mileage is disappointing, it too should be better. Ive experience high 20s when traveling on the highway - it should be in the mid-30s at least. All in all, the Lancer is a half-way decent alternative if you cannot afford the Civic or a comparable Toyota or Nissan. My only other concern would be the automatic transmission. I hope it doesnt give out before its paid for. Go with a stick if you can.

  its good but not that good. - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By johnson2003 - June 22 - 10:00 am

  I like the car but again it doesnt have enough power. You think if it was going to be a more expensive model then the ES they should have done more to it then put rims on it, oz floor mats and a sticker on the trunk lid.Im not too fond of the wing or the front grill. Lastly the stock shift knob weighs like 15 pounds. I had to change mine out with one from a 95 civic.

  What I think of the O-Z Rally Lancer - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By optimasone - May 27 - 2:00 am

  The Lancer is overall a fun car to drive. It offers more passenger volume than a lot of other cars in its class. It does need a little extra pep, but no more than other cars in its class. Its great on gas mileage and very economical overall with all its standard features.

  Great Little car - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Seaaa - February 14 - 10:00 am

  We purchased the OZ manual, as a economy alternative to our 2002 Suburban. It is just that and more. My wife and I now race to drive it first, it is fun to drive, only 120 HP but feels like more, we have all the option on it, but most came standard (AC,poer window, power locks, cruise control,variable wipers delays...) the sun roof is great, and works smoothly. The rear seats easily accomodate full grown adults! I have been in some mid size cars where fitting in the back is a tight squeeze. The design is definitly sport, as well as the steering. So far we really enjoy the car and performance.
