“The new Lancer is the most accomplished small car I’ve driven in years and easily sets a new benchmark in the category”

Just want to warn people thinking of buying a Lancer that the paint has flaked severly on ours apparently due to bird droppings being left on over night (one night only!)…we’ve had it 6 months and we’re definately looking to get rid of it soon.

In the moment i`m driving the same Mitsubishi Lancer and i can tell you many things for this car,but only one thing makes difference from other cars,the Bulgarian roads are verry poor and in bad shape but this car makes you feel like you are drving on the fast track,she don`t have limints,it`s one of the best cars in the moment!If someone can buy this car,don`t think,buy it!!!

This fair website loved the Lancer and called it a class leader.

Wheels in COTY s/hitcanned it, WTF?

Matt your dad has a point, the Corolla is even better again, i think its more important to buy what you really like and enjoy and dont worry so much about the resale.If resale is a issue, buy late model as new 2nd hand unit.

Cheers

Saw this car 1st in my Game; Need For Speed – ProStreet
Now I have seen this in person @ the Brisbane MotorShow just lately & was surprisingly impressive.? I drive a BIG car, *cough* Commodore, & this Lancer VRX has me wanting this in exchange.! – Wow.! – ALOT of Driving Safety Features & other gadgetry not found with my current car standard like; Alloy Pedals, Climate Control, Sporty Gear Lever, SteeringWheel Paddle Gear Changes, Bluetooth Connectivity, an Awesome Sound System, KeyLess Entry, plus more.!
- What I was disappointed in was the lack of Power.? (113kW, eewww)
- That just took the fizz outta my dream.? – And I was also led to believe it was an AWD.!! No it’s not.? OHH.?? Bummer.!!
- I still love the car … Just have to get over the missing power & the absence of AWD … Other than that, it’s a kick-ass car I’d seriously change over too for the safety & standard gadgets.!! Nice change Mitsubishi, Cheer’s.!!*

i was going to buy the vrx for my first car, done a few test drives and everything and i loved the car, but my dad always had this impression that the lancer wont hold up in vaule at future resale or something… well ig ot a mazda 6 classic sport hatch today, but i still would love to have a lancer =[

I have driven the CVT Lancer VR and yes it’s nosie and reminds me of the early aout holdens – shame it does not have a normal 5 / 6 speed auto. The manual is great to drive.

How does it compare to the Mazda 3 as this is appears to be a more premium car.

Can anybody provide feedback please.

G’day bloggers…

i drove the lancer ES cvt… my overall impression is that it has a lot of standard gear for the price point BUT the quality of fit and finish wasn’t quite up to scratch…the plastics quality was quite bad, hard and shiny crap…the paint quality rather thin…

POSITIVES – the engine is by far the smoothest (compared to the new corolla, civic, mazda 3) and torquiest… the car is fairly quiet and has a nice ride… but the CVT transmission is the noisiest and unrefined transmission i have ever come across…yuk…sounds like loose marbles are being blended as you accelerate but extremely smooth when coasting…

but the car does look nice though…for most that alone would be enough to buy the car… the warranty is pretty good as well…

still not my cup of tea…
