2008 Mitsubishi Lancer test drive
overall
The Lancer looks sportier than it is but holds up well with plenty of value and technology features.
The Lancer has been a part of the Mitsubishi lineup for quite some time, and the car was overhauled for the 2007 model year. Now in its ninth generation, Mitsubishi is marketing the car as a compact sport sedan instead of the economy car that we were all thinking. It’s a handsome car with sporting intentions in all trims, but how does it stand up against more established and well-known competitors?

Just bought the car in June and loving it. Performance: with an out put of the 2.0, 4 cylinder naturally aspired engine, it gives an out put of 162 HP. Many drivers complain that the car doesn't have enough power. I disagree! With the 162 HP engine, it feels like have the power to over take many cars with it. It's all comes down to driving technique and using the standard transmission. However, the car sometimes does feel a bit over weight with 3000 lbs. It can stand to use a little diet. In terms of braking and handling, the Lancer is designed for rally. It can do some of the things most cars can never do. It's an extremely agile car and super fun to drive. Interior: from the inside, the Lancer is one of the ugliest cars ever made. The interior is all gray and black and lacking colour. The gage lights are red. The inside feels cold and almost too robotic. The bucket seats have no back support adjustment. However, the car does come with bluetooth connection to phone, Rockford Fosgate sound system with a 10 inch Sub built-in into the trunk, and radio control on the steering wheel. Exterior: Mitsubishi has a long history of worst styling in their cars. All of their previous generations of Lancers horribly ugly. For years, Mitsubishi had committed the worst crime in body styling. However, the new Lancer won the hearts of many young sport car enthusiasts with it's aggressive new look. It's by far the most beautiful car on the outside. Gas milage: The 2.0 naturally aspired aluminum block engine gives an average of 7.8L-8.6L/100KM. A full tank can give you close to 700KM. Safety: the Mitsubishi Lancer is considered the safest car in its class. The RISE system, which is first introduced in 96, gives the Lancer the most rigid body in its class. It has 8 air bags. The driver and the front passenger even have their own knee air bag. Other worth mentions: the new Lancer is absolutely one of the best car that ever come out of Japan. It's no surprised we see Lancer everywhere on the road and on the street. Lancer is looking to redeem it's history of despicable reputation. They've done a great job with the Lancer. For a compact car, it was very practical. It has a huge trunk. It was fun to drive. It was considered inexpensive. It's the safest in its class. It was rally inspired and great on gas. The only draw back is it's CVT transmission. It's an absolute mess. Safe the 1000 dollar and stick with the stick shift.

Best car by far. Faster than my Impreza, better on fuel than any car I have ever driven - paddle shift gear box kitted out with VRX trim and no-key entry or start. It rocks.

I bought the GTS brand new, one of only 2 on the lot at the time. Mine had the Rockford Fosgate sound system which was awesome. I drove it until May 2012, until, unfortunately it was totaled in an accident. A young man turned left in front of me at an intersection in a 90's model Jeep Cherokee. The entire front end was demolished and pieces of the engine were scattered all over the road, however, my daughter and I, who was in the front seat, walked away with only bruises. The seat belts locked so quickly that our faces never came near the airbags. There is a airbag for the driver knees as well, and I really think it saved me from getting a broken leg. The car was great fun to drive and handled great, however I wish it did have a little more power. The stereo system was awesome and handled great, and the navigation system was good too. The only thing that I needed to have done was a new catalytic converter, which was going in and out at about 130k. I've had Mitsubishi's before and the exhaust was usually the thing I had problems with (frequent replacement of oxygen sensors). I got great gas mileage, and overall I would recommend this car for anyone to drive.
