Overview & Reviews

The '02 Lancer is Mitsubishi's replacement for its Mirage economy car, though the Mirage continues this year in coupe format only. The chief reason for the new name (for the U.S., as the car has always been called the Lancer elsewhere) is Mitsubishi's desire to emphasize that the Lancer is more upscale, larger and better-engineered than the old Mirage.

• Large interior, classy exterior styling, many standard features.

• O-Z model lacks performance to back up looks, side airbags and antilock brakes available only on LS trim, no available engine upgrade.

  Lancer ES Review - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By bnnmalone - December 24 - 10:00 am

  I looked at several different makes of cars and took the Mitsubishi Lancer for a test drive after I tested the others. It was no comparison. The Lancer was more responsive and had plenty of pep. The vehicles exterior is very attractive and has smooth lines. I really liked the OZ version but for around $3,000.00 more I can live with it and add to it as I go. I couldnt be more pleased with this vehicle.

  Alls Good with the Lancer OZ - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Misha - December 17 - 2:00 am

  I really have to say, I love the car. It looks good and its fun to drive. Its not as fast as the impreza wrx but for the 2.0 engine its decent. I wish there were more accessories out there for it, but i think that in time that will increase.

  Lancer fan! - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By gypsiesoul1978 - April 25 - 10:00 am

  I love the look of the car. Its sporty, but works great for my 2 adult, 2 child family. As small as it is, it has plenty of passenger and cargo room. I recently took a 16 hour road trip in it with 2 over 6 foot tall men!! Sure it was a little tight, but we arrived with out having to pull over a thousand times.

  Fun, Quality Car - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Deideldorfer - March 25 - 2:00 am

  Despite having only 120HP, this car is surprisingly quick; it must be due to the 130ft-lbs of torque. This is the most comfortable car Ive owned, with lots of leg room up front, and a big trunk. All devices are well-positioned and easy to use. Interior and exterior styling is a little bland, but classy.

  Try One, Quality Car - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By GoodBuy - January 17 - 10:00 am

  I have had my car about a month now. Feels very solid when driving. Turns corners very tightly which is handy getting into parking spaces. The 120 hp engine accelerates well and sounds good even when revving. I have the stick shift which I prefer on small cars. The car is put together very well. I could find no flaws. The interior is very well appointed for the price. All of these cars come with power windows and CD which is nice.

  Dependable, Solid and Efficient - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By RJK - January 4 - 10:36 pm

  After three years the only problem I have had with this car was its CD player, which the dealer replaced and reimbursed me for the CD that the player destroyed. Since then I have had no problems with the car. I recently purchased new Bridgestone Turanza LS-T tires for the car and what a difference. The car was pretty stable before, with some road noise, but now it is really stable and with very little road noise. It is almost like a different car. During these high gasoline price times I have come to really appreciate the gas mileage. I average about 29 mpg in town and 37 mpg on the open highway.
