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.

  2002 OZ Rally Edition is Great Overall - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Steven Lawson - December 22 - 10:00 am

  Great Handling Car. I took the car shortly after I bought it on a road trip through the mountains of Virginia and West VA at 70 miles an hour with no body roll and great handling. Fun car with plenty of speed for your average driver. The only thing that really needs improvement is the acceleration

  good/great - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By jeffskibo - November 20 - 2:20 pm

  great looks both interior and exterior. Corners really well and a smooth ride, however severely lacks power which is a trade-off for great gas mileage.

  Lancers Kick Ass!! - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Sweet Lancer Chick - August 6 - 10:00 am

  I took my Lancer to California and back, it was reliable and got excellent gas mileage, averaging about 38 mpg/350 mile to a tank, and a tank of gas only cost about $20. It cost me $90 to get there. Thats 15 hours NONSTOP driving! If you just happen to be looking for a good looking, but economical car, I think youll be pleased with the Misubishi Lancer. If you have any questions about the above info, please feel free to email me.. SweetLancerChick@wmconnect.com Thanks! Crystal W.

  Outstanding gas mileage! - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By jim - July 17 - 1:46 pm

  34.5 MPG on a regular basis. No kidding. 106,000 miles. Awesome car. No maintenance other than suggested/standard stuff. Only one item has broken/worn out: the switch for the AC/heat temperature. Thats it! Definite, high quality car.

  Excellent car, 97% Made in Japan - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Tekken - January 15 - 2:00 am

  This car has great handling and interior/exterior design, Gas mileage is good. 36000k miles on the car and still have had no problems even once! This car handles well in snow as well. It is also very roomy inside. I take care of it as much as I can, regular oil change, wheel alignment, engine additives, fuel system cleaners, if you take care of the car it will take care of you. I will recommend this car for anyone who doesnt want to pay much and yet have a reliable and good looking car. Althought this car could use more horepower but then again I can see why the Evo is the next step up.

  Lancer OZ rocks! - 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer
  By Fly-OZ - December 7 - 2:00 am

  My OZ moves pretty fast. I can take corners in excess of 40 mph and the car is very stable. For the amount of money and the deal I got from Mitsubishi, I have no complaints about this car. So, if youre looking for an inexpensive and fun car to drive or race, definitely pick the Lancer-OZ. If you want to learn more about the Lancers, visit the Lancer forums.

  I love the look of the car. Its different. Sporty but not extravagent. The engine department could use a little more power. But, I am extremely impressed in the gas mileage. The handleability of the vehicle is ok.
