Mitsubishi Lancer - Kelley Blue Book's Review

www.kbb.com
Is there an unwritten rule that says inexpensive cars have to be boring? Mitsubishi doesn't think so. In a category dominated by practical but uninspiring transportation the Lancer stands out as a frugal car that's also exciting to look at and fun to drive.

The Mitsubishi Lancer has traditionally sat in the shadows of its affordable exotic sibling -- the much praised, World Rally-derived Lancer Evolution. Now with a wealth of high-tech features, sportier performance and aggressive sheet metal, the latest generation Lancer is ready to make a name for itself while building on the heritage of its much more expensive brother.

[kbb]

@yazan28193 The Lancer is available in front- or all-wheel drive and a reverse camera is not available on this vehicle.

i have an 09 lancer gts. love the car. has good acceleration and excellent steering for a fwd car. only complaint i have with the lancers is the paint. right by the rear tires there is hundreds of chips because it flairs out to much and the paint is low quality. rocks and salt coming off front tires does this. must get mud flaps to stop this. i recommened getting the ralliart (turbo, awd, recaro seats available)

Damn, i'd fuck my boyfriend on the hood.

@StopSignRobot Continual Variable Transmission. normally helps in fuel economy as CVT goes from 0 to top speed in 1 gear, so there arent any lag on acceleration cause the gearbox wont have to disengage the engine and upshift/downshift.
