  Great Car!! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Dan - July 17 - 5:23 pm

  Love 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.

  2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Adam S. - May 25 - 10:40 am

  The car has decent room w/ comfortable seats for long trips (folding in the rear 4 more cargo space). It has great features like the GPS, hands free Bluetooth, 650W stereo w/ the 30GB hard disk w/ Sirius and especially the Fast Key! The CVT is really smooth and the paddle shifting is fun w/its 6 dedicated gears. The 2.0 engine is surprisingly peppy, though just not off the line. Mileage has been much better than I expected w/ 33-40+MPG doing 55-65 mph on the highway and no less than 26+ around town. Overall ride is well controlled & neve r harsh. Handling is really fun in this car and the brakes are also really good.

  Great car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Allen Fort - April 1 - 6:33 pm

  Wow!! 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 pm

  This 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!

  Just to let you know about some issues... - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By fdlbym - January 3 - 12:13 am

  In a nut shell, if youre not impressed with the exterior design, just dont spent time looking at this one. Mileage is okay but not the best (low thirties on highway). Handling is good for its class but you can find other cars handles as good if not better (Mazda3). Leg room in second row is one of the best but is it that important? When it comes to shortfalls the list is longer; Engine noise is something to pay attention. Interior plastics are not better than what you would find on vacuum cleaner (similar to previous generation US cars). Together with weak engine, CVT makes you feel dead.

  Good riddance - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By LVnative - December 26 - 7:03 am

  Could not be happier its gone! The most underpowered vehicle I have ever owned; might as well mow the lawn. This car is a joke; would not buy again; would not recommend to anyone; STAY AWAY FROM THIS CAR. Getting rid of this car was the best thing I did! Not comfortable, VERY underpowered!

  Silver - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By turbodreams - October 16 - 6:16 pm

  Have this car in Silver without a wing. The wingless lancer looks classy especially in silver. Added limo tints to the back half of the car. This adds amazing privacy for that luxuriously large back seat area (if ya know what I mean). Also if you take time to notice, the fabric used for the seats is perfect and very cleanable (much better than leather would be). I couldnt ask for sportier gauges. Thanks Mitsubishi. If 152 HP isnt enough, slap an intake an exhaust on it, youll pass TCs, Civics and Mazda 3s. I must say when driving this car, I feel very in control of it. Many other cars dont compare. I adore my cars spacious interior so much. Its not just a car. Its an adventure. Thanks Mitsubishi.

  Mitsu got it right! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By koolcisco - September 10 - 7:46 am

  Test drove the Mazda 3, Civic Ex and the lancer by far the Lancer was a funner ride and beats the others in styling and buck for the money. I bought the Lancer Es Manual Tech and Appearance pkg it was just funner than the CVT even with those cool paddle shifters. So far the cars been great sure we all want more power but for the money I think its pretty peppy of course low end torque could get more work but satisfied overall. Cant wait for all the upgrades since its the same engine as the Evo yay!

  I Love This Car - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By P$ - August 29 - 5:26 pm

  I just recently purchased my 2008 Lancer GTS and I love it! I was the first person to purchase one at the dealership. My GTS is Graphite Pearl Grey, it has the sun and sound package. Drives very well and is very fun to drive. I got the CVT with the magnesium paddle shifters, they are so fun and easy to use! Definitely would recommend this purchase to anyone.

  The Lancer is Fun to Drive! - 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Terrynconnct01 - April 24 - 12:13 am

  The Lancer met all expectations; (except no leather), great fuel economy, some of the highest emission standards, great handling, especially for New England roads.
