Powerful car

This car was very powerful for its layout. It feels like the car has a desire to go goat and to accelerate even faster.

Unmatched experience for the price!

This car was love at first drive for me. I wanted an Evo, but even good used ones run around 30K(worth it) However, I found out about a downgraded version called the Ralliart. Then I realized they are 10k less, so I shot right into one. Extremely fast acceleration, as Mitsubishi is known for. Great quality and comfort. Easy to upgrade and mod these vehicles, so HP can also be adjusted. All around this is a beast of a car, and a sleeper unless you know about it. I love the feeling of sitting at a double lane light, and simply blowing people away if I choose. Sport mode rocks, and I rec upgrading the exhaust to a Borla Catback for an amazing sound! For the money you won't find anything better, so get one and make yourself happy.

Great car :) reliable, safe, and chick magnet

i own a 2010 ES-sport(where i live its labeled Lancer EX GLS premium. Its the highest trim before the GTS or GT as it is called here). I have it since march 2010 and its a great car.. almost no complaints. The car's style turns heads (especially the chiks), awesome styling. I only do preventive maintenance for warranty reasons. The only thing that went wrong up to now was the ABS sensor, but the dealer changed it for free. The fuel economy is great, but not Prius-type efficient. Opted for shiftable CVT cuz i do a lot of city driving and i'm always stuck at traffic jams. Up to now i'm glad i got the car, the CVT makes use of every horsepower the car has(no shakes, which are loss of power), rides smooth and i've got 37 mpg on highway. My only concerns are the road noise, and the plastic interior(i like the design, but it should have some stiched leather or something nice to touch). I don't have the Sun and Sound Package cuz i wanted to save the money at the moment. Probably ill put a touch screen with an aftermarket sound system soon... when i get money XD. i also got side-ended(hard) by a hyundai tucson a few months ago, and i happened to get out in one piece. Very safe car. Conclusion: GREAT CAR FOR THE MONEY, SAFE, RELIABLE, AND CHICK MAGNET. :D

Excellent handling, warranty and reliability

I bought my 2010 Lancer ES brand new and now it's more than a year later and has had no major issues other than bad shocks that squeak when you go over bumps especially when cold. The car handles great and really good on gas. The only downside in this car is the interior quality that it isn't like Honda or Toyota. It feels cheap from inside with pronounced road noise. The car is extremely comfortable to drive and very spacious for its size, much larger than a civic or corolla. The build quality or Mitsubishi is not great but for what you pay for it, 10 year warranty and top safety pick you just can't beat it.

VERY DISAPPOINTING

i bought a 2010 mitsubishi lancer ralliart. WORST DECSISION EVER!! I have about 23,000 miles on it now and for a little over a year and it has been nothing but trouble since day 1. It started with a burning smell within the first week witch turned out to be a transfer case leak, up to transmission leaks, 5 bad radio's and so forth. If your in the market for this type of sports car, go with subaru.

Functional, but not plush

We have owned our Lancer GTS for a few months now. The features all work as designed. Ours has the leather interior and Rockford Fosgate sound system. The interior panels are hard plastic and sound insulation is lacking. However, the sound system has 710 watts and is more than capable of drowning out the road noise. There could be more cubbies around the cabin for convenience. Seats are very comfortable and the climate controls are easy to use. The 2.4L engine is peppy with fuel economy about where the EPA calls it. The CVT responds quickly and passing is a breeze. The ride is very firm with the 18" wheels. Overall, we are satisfied with our purchase.

Good car for the $$$

I've had the car for about 6 months it lacks power but you really cant complain when you average 35 mpg's, within the first 3 months my steering has been making alot of noise so im gonna get that checked out. but the rides more noisy and ruff than my corolla was. Besides that I'd say im satisfied with the car but not overly happy. The looks of the car is what had me sold within a heart beat, you cant beat the looks within its class. but the interior is kinda boring. This is the third mitsubishi in my family just wanted to point that out.
