I've had this for a year now, bought it used with about 130k miles. Very few issues with this car... I've mostly just had to do the regular oil changes, but I've also had to change a power window motor and rail, tie rod ends. Gotta change the bushings on the control arms later, and replace the window tint since its kinda messed up right now; not saying that all Lancers gotta change their window tint, mine was bought with some small defects in the all of the window tint...
Disappointing
The vehicle itself is not a bad vehicle to own, low in perchance cost, easy to maneuver, and sporty looks tribute to its appeal. After owning this vehicle for a little while I find myself disappointed, the ride is quite bouncy, the engine is underpowered, and the fuel economy is nothing to write home about, I would say just below par for its class. The front is nice and grippy when you do get up to speed, sadly cornering fun is reduced by moderate body lean. If one is looking for a lancer oz rally my suggestion would be to find one with a manual transmission. As an automatic, a very good first car, looks good, is cheap to own and maintain, yet for the parents its not crazy fast.

8.8
this car is a really fun car to drive, its smooth, quiet,and it handles well. yes the engine is not that fast, but it is not the slowest car out there. the car is stylish and i think that it is diffrent than most of the cars in its class. though the jetta and the mazda 6 are better overall cars, for the money, the lancer is a really good buy.
Still pleased
My wife and i bought this car with 11 miles on the odometer. Great feeling.8 years later we are almost at 60k. This car is mostly driven by my wife.We use to use for long trips and am surprised to hear people have gotten up to 30 mpg on the highway. I have seen consistent 25 mpg on highway. Anyway this is a great little car that is nimble but lacks a little power.
:'( It wishes it was a Civic...
Great MPG, Awful o2s, awful Catalytic converters, unreliable transmissions (same issues with Chrysler's around this age, share the same platform) Slow to start, (Merging onto the highway can be stressful, you punch it and it's like you kicked it in the nuts, I've found it's best to slowly accelerate to hopefully get higher rpms out of 1-3rd gear, If you drive one of these past 100k you know what i mean, awful transmission) I will gladly admit they're good looking cars, just hard to go from a v⁶ or a vtec to this pretty terd. Not impressed performance wise, which us unfortunate because every 16 year old in a 92 civic wants to race you and unless they blow s headgasket or die youre done for.. Save yourself some heart ache and get a Honda. That being said great first car for a kid. Slow enough so they wont get in trouble, good looking enough they might get laid lol I got it up to 90-95, going down a hill. RIP
