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.

  The Basic Fun Car - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Mike - May 31 - 4:03 am

  The OZ-Rally package definitly spiced up the exterior look, and I was happy with all the accesories that it came with. I do wish it had a bit more power to it though. Everything has been fine on it so far though.

  Great Car no Go - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Randy G - August 12 - 6:36 am

  I really love my car - Lancer OZ, but the engine is what it lacks. Ive added a Injen Cold Air Intake, MagnaFlow Cat-Back Exhaust, B & M Short Shifter, Denso Iridium Plugs, Carbon Fiber Dash Kit, and a huge stereo system. I only wish it had 200 hp. Gotta recommend it though, grew up a Ford guy and switched to Japanese vehicles for better quality, less recalls, etc. No problems 3 years and 45,000 miles later.

  2002 Mitsu OZ Lancer - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By OZ Lancer Fan - May 22 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car brand new. Eight years later, I have had no major problems with the car. I am currently at 145,000 miles and the car still retains the original timing belt! Other than the timing belt, Ive kept to the suggested maintenance schedule and have had no problems. With a regular waxing, twice a year, the car also has no rust. I would recommend for higher mileage cars "Mobile Synthetic Oil- High Mileage". I noticed that you get more power than other oils. This is a low maintenance car, and I plan on having this as my daily driver for a good 200k-400k more miles. I believe this is doable with the lack of problems I have had with this car. I highly recommend Mitsu Lancers.

  A Nimble Machine - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By dasharc - May 4 - 2:00 am

  After almost 2 months of walking away from testdrives that just didnt feel right, I knew the Lancer was for me the minute I sat in the drivers seat. Its comfortable, stylish, and nimble..not to mention fun. The car makes you want to drive because it simply takes to the road and wont let go! The highway is the best place for the OZ, but its just as much a joy to buzz around town in. The ride is smooth and effortless at any speed. Theres plenty of room for rear passengers without cramping anyone and with the fold-down seats this car is practical, too.

  excellent car! - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By lngtonge18 - April 4 - 10:00 am

  I have had my OZ since November and absolutely love it. Its been flawless and the build quality is exceptional. Exterior is sporty and elegant, like a mini-BMW, and gets stares all the time. The interior looks great (love that brushed aluminum trim and the cream white gauges) and is so roomy. The ride is unbelieveably composed and comfortable up to 3 digit speeds. It handles good as well. My only complaints are the non-performance tires and the uncomfortable non- adjustable lumbar sticking in my back. Otherwise, the Lancer is an excellent car and definitely worth a look.

  Fun like my Z3 - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By x-beemerDrvr - February 9 - 2:00 am

  Used to have a BMW Z3. Had to sell it because of my companys downsizing. Had to settle for the OZ but never regreted the change. Even having the automatic, the acceleration is fantastic even uphill. Its been 4 months now, and I am still hooked. Also bought my wife one but the ES version.
