Great car. Hands down. I bought mine in 2005 for 13k and it had 36,000 miles, paid it off in 2008. Here it is 2015 and she has 226,868 miles now. Still running like a champ. Regular routine maintenance, clutch went out at 210k and that's the only major issue. Great car

To be a successful economy car, the vehicle in question has to have two things going for it; reliability and fuel economy. With that said, the Lancer is by far the best car I've ever owned. It's been reliable as a rock and the engine can take a serious beating. It'll get 26 miles per gallon with your foot welded to the floor, and 35 while driving Miss Daisy across the country. Need I say more? Why not. On top of those things, it's also roomy, comfortable, the stereo sounds great, the A/C will freeze your hands off and the heater makes Hell seem cold. I took this car on a 3,500 mile journey across the country and it didn't give me any trouble. A bold claim for a 12 year old 165k mile car.

This car has great handling, fun to drive. I beat the heck out of this thing, taking hard bumps, flying over train tracks, fast turns, and it takes it all in stride. The intererior is great. With a little wax the paint still looks amazing. It gets good gas mileage, so far not a single problem.
Great car

I got into a wreck in this vehicle in the mountains of Virginia, and I must say, 10+ on crash rating. Completely protected me, AND the front end absorbed so much of the impact, that beyond the front fenders there was NO damage! Unfortunately, it was deemed totaled, but this car saved me in an accident.

I wanted to trade in my 4x4 for an economy car since I am going to grad school. I compared all compact mfgs. I’m 6’4, 245 lbs - Civic was too narrow, Corolla had poor driver legroom, and the Elantra felt a little cheap on some of the interior pieces. Protégé was roomy and nice. However, ride was VERY stiff and jittery. Then I drove the Lancer OZ. It’s not going to satisfy the teen racer crowd without aftermarket mods,but in stock form it is a very peppy,solid, fun car to drive. Very roomy upfront and in the back. Excellent build quality, low NVH levels, and excellent IIHS crash results – it got a “Best Pick” rating.
