Performance: 0-60 7 sec. Brakes like a dream. Can handle corners at .9g. dont let the 120hp keep you from buying this. Mitsubishi knows how to gear their cars. This out accelerates several cars with even a v8 under their hood. Build Quality: Everything is comfortable. Has needed no repairs at all. AMAZING SOUND SYSTEM. 35mpg!!! like I said 0-60 in 7 seconds.. its fun to drive, fwd makes it easy to do "fun" things with.

Lows: Brake pads make noise when driving on uneven pavement. Quite quiet at full throttle. It leans a lot trough fast curves, even when I know its not a sport version. Highs: It gives me real 30 MPGavg!!!. Never fails, and its so roomy for its class. Amazing grip with standard slim tires.

My family used to own a Gallant, so I was open-minded when a rear-end collision took out my Cobalt's trunk and let me try another car for a while. While the Schmidt family's insurance policy repaired my Cobalt, I experienced a poorly built Lancer. The seats are horribly uncomfortable. The dash is unattractive and unconventional. I don't like the exterior at all, partly because the body looked so tall and partly because the geometry just looked weird. Since it was a rental, I had no problem pushing it to the limit. It accelerates well, but it gets up to a low top speed. Driving to St. Louis from Kansas was not fun in seats that made me want to see a chiropractor. Don't get one of these.

awesome car very quick for the ES lancer in my opinion very good handling along as its dry good for racing and flying around corners all in all i would say this car is an amazing piece of machinery and would recommend it to any one

waay to slow for me and its an automaitc :(. build quality is nice. appearance is good on the outside but the dash board inside could use some help. cost of ownership is not bad considering i get bout 30 miles to the gallon. even though this car is slow it is very fun to drive because it handles amazingly
