Thinking of buying a lancer, What is your opinion

The Evo model is the one to get. The Ralliart model is toned down version, but still pretty quick. The base model Lancer is just an ordinary econobox.

Mitsubishi cars are relatively good and reliable; not quite up to Toyota and Honda level. I had a Lancer disguised as a Dodge Colt when Chrysler sold them. It was the cheapest car per mile to keep running I ever had. Since there are now enough dealers it is not a risky buy; you have to like the car…

Thanks for reply, I think if I get a good deal on the Lancer ES I’ll go for it. By the way where are they made? Do you know?

Just look at the window stickers. There will be a sticker that states the origin of the engine and the transmission, and the overall US-made content, which in this case may be zero. I believe that this model is made in Japan, but I could be wrong on that count. On the door jamb there is a plate …

Mine was made in Japan, but the later models(base models, and some pickups) were made in Thailand which has many Japanese assembly plants. Mitsubishi has a plant in the US that they operated jointly with Chrysler, but they are trying to sell it.

I have rented most of the econoboxes over time. It seems low price is your attraction maybe to this one. I would definitely try the Hyundai Elantra or Chevy Cobalt in and then decide. The Civic, Corolla, Mazda3 are top tier but maybe the price does not appeal. The reliability of the Mits cars is o…

My daughter is a big Mitsubishi fan (3 of them over time) but I’ll say that I’m not a fan of them. A couple of years ago while visiting her I found she had a new Mitsubishi Lancer demonstrator that the Mitsu. dealer had actually allowed her to keep over the weekend in an effort to make the sale. I…

I agree with Fo, the base model is slowwwwwwwww and boring. If you’re going to get something slow and boring, you may as well get something with a better track record.

Well, as I pointed out in my earlier post, being ranked 12th in a field of 15 is not exactly a stellar rating.

Then how does the 2009 VW Jetter rate any input will help me, I drove one and I like the feel. It has a lot of toys and whistles, how good are they? Thanks

It essentially ranks at the middle of the pack, and it has “average” reliability, which is actually good for a VW.
