Used 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer for Sale near Illinois
Lancer variations continue to increase for 2004; there are now three distinct models for Mitsubishi's compact car. Last year the Lancer was joined by the high performance Lancer Evolution, and this year brings a new wagon body style. The wagon has been badged the Sportback, and it houses a more powerful engine. The Lancer receives a front end face lift this year, highlighted by a new grille, integrated bumpers and halogen headlamps.
There are now four trims for the Lancer sedan. The ES, LS and O-Z Rally styles return, and the Ralliart model debuts this year. The Ralliart is more performance-focused than the O-Z, thanks to a larger engine. All Lancers come standard with air conditioning, a tilt steering wheel, full power accessories, auto-off headlamps and a CD player.
There are now two engine options for the sedan. The ES, LS and O-Z Rally house a 2.0 liter inline four, which makes 120 horsepower and 130 pound-feet of torque. On the ES and O-Z, buyers may choose between a five-speed manual or an optional four-speed automatic. The LS comes only with the automatic. The new Ralliart is powered by a 2.4 liter inline four, generating 162 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. This performance model is only available with the automatic. Fuel economy for the 2.4 is estimated at 23/29 mpg.
The Lancer earns high marks for performance, specifically with the 2.4 liter Ralliart. Testers report a 0-60 mph time of 8.1 seconds, which nearly leads this class. The 2.0 liter acceleration is reasonable with the manual transmission, and more restrained with the automatic. The Ralliart also offers very responsive steering and agile handling. Unfortunately, stopping confidence is hindered by the lack of ABS on most models.
One of the most common owner complaints is the lack of standard safety features. ABS and side airbags are not available on the lower trims.
4.4 Overall rating
(43 reviews)This car is quick with the 2.4L MIVEC power plant. The FWD isn't the greatest, there ia a little torque steer on hard take offs, but not enough for very many people to notice. A LSD would go nicely up there. The handling around back road twists is very neutral. There are some curves that i was afraid to take the Z around at any sort of speed, those are the curves where the Lancer shines. This is a great performing car. The interior is pretty basic, one complaint is the lack of a map light, but it's no big deal. I have gotten around 23-24 MPG with mixed driving
This is my gorgeous 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralli Art. It has a 2.4L Mivec 4cyl. I have installed a injen cold air intake and a vibrant cat-back exhaust system. It also has an evo 8 spoiler and a front strut bar. Best car i have ever owned, and the most fun to drive. Great for drifting.
I love everything about this car. It's my first Mitsubishi and I'm hooked. It may not have leather seats, heated seats, or dual climate control but I wouldn't trade it for anything(except a newer ralliart or evo of course).
This car has lots of zoom power and because of it compactness can zip in and out of traffic well. The seating is a bit boxy, but for the price this is a good basic car to own. Gas mileage is good - average about 28MPG city and Highway. Stats reveals that this is a low cost maintenance car.
I love my car it came stock with a 2.4 litre engine pushing 168hp.I got it in lightning yellow.It`s got manual shift with good acceleration,good braking & great handling.Myself i love the exterior & interior looks or i would not have bought it right?So far i`ve only put brakes and tires on ,And that`s pretty good as i drive it like i stole it hahaha.Sticker price at the time was $24 888.38mpg highway 28 city???with just the regular maintenance thos far...I`ve owned the car for 4 years and still love driving it...speedometer marks 220kph...hit that at about 5000rpm in 5 gear...burried it by the time i hit rev limitor at about 6700rpm.Car felt real tight at those speed...incredible for a 4 cylinder stock besides a k&n filter in the stock air box...what a blast to drive!!!
