Ranking	Details
#1	Rather Pleased Source: Edmunds ...This is the first Mitsubishi I have ever owned. So far after 1000 miles it drives pretty well. No problems yet. I am getting very good mileage. Up to 34 mpg on the highway. Rarely do I get less then 27/28 mpg anywhere. Smooth ride and not too noisy. Yes, it's a bit underpowered but I can live with that for better mileage. Overall a nice car and fun to drive. The price was good too...
#2	its a good starter car Source: Cars.com ..."the lancer is a great car, but the problem is the performance. a 120hp 4g94 engine is not really eye popping,but there are alot of aftermarket parts for the lancer. the suspension is really great for a fwd car, the interior is great also. i just think if they put a little more power into the car people would buy it. and its a good starter car for a high school hot rodder."...
#3	My Amazing Octane Mitsu Source: Cars.com ..."Well, it has been about a month since I have purchased this new and needless to say, I am loving every opportunity to drive in it!...
#4	my first new car Source: Edmunds ...Well I went to the dealership to buy a Kia Sportage. Then I found out that it was too small, and that I wanted something more sporty. I found the Mitsubishi lancer. And I loved driving for the first 5 miles, then before I got back to the dealership I new that it was my own car already. Its a fast one, with a lot of nice stuff. I got the sport package and the sun & sound package with the bluetooth, for only 19,300! I was looking at a Honda Civic coupe but the lancer is so much more worth it. And its a perfect size for a girl too!...
#5	Interesting Car Source: Cars.com ..."August of 08 I went to my local Mitsu dealer and picked up a 2009 Lancer DE. They where running specials on them for $9995. I went and looked at them and was very immpressed by the way looked, and the way it drove. I had never purchased a vehicle on my own before so I thought I long and hard on it and went ahead and bought it...
#6	One of the most reliable cars I've owned Source: Cars.com ..."I've owned my 2006 Lancer ES for about 3 years. I bought it brand new and it hasn't given me any problems. This car is very reliable, but the fact that it doesn't have ABS concerns me. For day to day driving, this car is an exceptional choice. However, there is too much body roll on the highway, and comfort doesn't last on long highway trips. One thing I don't like about the ES trim is it's lack of some features, like an alarm system, keyless entry with a panic buttonm heated side mirrors, and no backseat headrests. Lancer has a nice design and is easy to handle...
#7	Fun Car Source: Cars.com ..."I just got this car with the CARS program and I love it, great handling, fast, and I love the features!"...
#8	good car Source: Cars.com ..."awesome designgreat exteriorhandles smoothlygood mileage. noticed because i drive long distances.i would definitely recommend this car because its very economical. Its not the most expensive car and its a chick magnet. to some extent.get it in black"...
#9	Some Good, Some Bad Source: Edmunds ...When we first got the Lancer in mild weather it was fantastic - we felt like we were driving a luxury car! We first noticed an issue with the radio/speakers a few months ago. The radio didn't actually start to make noise until the dial was at 15. Last week, anytime anything other than talk radio the speakers are now crackling. Since winter started the rear door windows are taking FOREVER to defrost (over an hour) and interior parts are rattling (locks on the doors, back window, silver stripe on the passenger door). We called the dealership and they told us there was...
#10	This is a great safe car! Source: Edmunds ...I'm 19 and I purchased my 09 lancer a little over a year ago and I was so happy with the car. Recently i was in a 4 car accident and I was hit from behind, and also had front collision. Not only did i enjoy and love the car but it did extremely well holding up in the accident. All the airbags went off accordingly, and I was very happy with the safety of the car so much I'm going to get another!!!...
