  • Great Buy - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    The Lancer is a great car for the money. Plenty of interior room, especially in the back seat where many small cars are too tight for adults or even for kids in car seats. Back seat is very easy to get in and out of. The ride is also very smooth and quiet but still with good, predictable handling. The engine is very smooth for a big 4- cylinder and has plenty of power for moving about in daily traffic. The cruise control is nice because its too easy to exceed the speed limit in this car if your not careful.

    I have brand new yellow OZ-Rally Lancer . Inspiration on top! Every driver on a road looking on this beauty, breaking his or her necks! Tinted windows, OZ-racing rims, all body spoilers, and this car is fast, believe me. You only have to try smooth short manual transmission shifts. Its like a poem. Racing sound pleases your hart on 4000 rpm. The only issue tracking is bad! I mean really bad, my tires loose tracking when I force a car, even on strait road. Wanna more? AirIntake will improve performance for another dosen hp, for only 200 bucks. For my opinion it is the best car you can get on this price.

  • My Lancer Opinion - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    I purchased this car in March of 2003, I actually traded in my 1999 Honda EX Civic Coupe for it. I fell in love with the Lancer style long before it was released in the US, the body lines are unique, which is what I like. The lancer actually surprised most of my friends with the ability to push you into the seat off the line. It has been reported to have 120 hp, it seems like it has more hp that most cars in its class. I am 67" tall and 250 lbs and the lancer is very comfortable.

  • Best 4 Cyl Car - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    Ive had this car for over 4 years now and I burn it up. Its 6 years old and it has the mileage of a 10 year old car and its still driving like a car of the year. Let me tell you, I floor it a lot too and this car has had no problems. Overall, the Lancer has made me stick to Mitsubishi pride. My next car, which wont be soon since my babys still kicking, will definitely be another Lancer. :)

    This is a great car- perfect for our family of 3. Performs better than expected, and a good price. I bought mine in October of 2001, and have logged around 40K miles already. Not a prob yet!

  • Good car - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    Got this car in January and chose this over the Mitsubishi Eclipse because of handling and fuel economy. The car hasnt let me down yet and it appears it wont. This car is manufactured actually in Japan unlike the civic which is made in the good ole USA and the sentra which is assembled in Mexico. So this is actually an import with japanease quality.

    Great little economy car, its not a hot rod, but has loads of room, is fun to drive and skips the gas station like the plague. Drove the Civic, Focus, Protoge and the Sentra, picked this becasue it had more room and just felt like it had more spunk, while being very quiet on the inside.

  • Underappreciated compact car - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    We looked for a good compact car and that is exactly what we found. The interior is sized like a mid-size sedan; adults are comfortable in the front or back. The trunk holds camping gear for a family of four. Fuel economy is in the low 30s highway, upper 20s in town. I think the Lancer gets a bad rep for performance, given the flashy exterior of the OZ Rally Edition. While it is not a true performance car it handles reasonably well and has plenty of power for passing on rural two-lane roads where we drive most. The car is 100% reliable and easy to maintain.

  • Love My Lancer - 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer
    By -

    I love the Lancer of all the cars I have owned definately my favorite. It may not be the fanciest car on the market but for the money I spent I feel I got wayyyyyyy more than I paid for. The fuel economy is a great added bonus and the safety features on the vehicle are great. I even saw where the NHSA just picked it as the safest car they tested which only made me feel better about having my wife and baby boy riding in the car everyday.
