Mitsubishi Lancer

Does anyone have any experience with these cars? I really like the new 2008 ones and am thinking about picking one up this fall.

integra00 · 10-19-2007, 03:39 PM

oh wow is that an evo or the base model lancer ? very nice looking.

A friend of mine has one.

The good: They are quicker than almost anything at their price point, handle really well even in inclement weather and get okay gas mileage for a turbo monster.

The bad: The interior feels really cheap and the ride is definitely NOT what you would describe as comfortable. The car has some pretty expensive parts in it; out of warranty it will be expensive to repair.

That is sexy. Is it 4wd? I could do without the wing though.

sims · 10-19-2007, 06:56 PM

that my friend is an evo, totally different beast from you're run of the mill junky ass lancer.

expect to pay around 60 grand for one in Canada though. Gotta pay to play.

AWD. I'm not huge on the wing either, but its still looks better then the STI :P

I hear its one of the roughest rides you can get stock.

So stay off them rough roads.

the new evo is slower than past evos, and alot heavier. I'd stay away and buy a gently used IX, or even an VIII MR

is that suede on the dash and panels?? sweet.

I would describe the look of the car as unbalanced. The front says "buckle up!" and the rear says "Everything okay back there grandma?"

Still, I would love to have one.

That is an awesome description of the car. And seconding the wouldn't mind one. Though am thinking on getting a WRX especially with the 6" inches of snow we're supposed to get by mid-tomorrow.
