2003 Lancer OZ Rally

Summary:
I am no car expert, but I am no fool. I have owned this car for 5 years now and it has been nothing but reliable (around 68,000 miles). The only maintenance that has been needed was a new O2 sensor at about 60,000 miles. I had purchased the extended warranty, so I only had to pay the deductable (would have been 300-400?). Other than that I have never had to have anything on the car fixed or replaced. Even the OE tires are still in good shape.

The car looks great, the paint still shines, and looks almost like new (that is being modest). The car is fun to drive and handles great. I have the sunroof and spoiler, and I think they make the car look even sharper. And the open sunroof gives the car a great feel.

Strengths:
This car is very reliable. This past winter (its fifth year) I often had to start the car in temperatures between -15 and -25 degree F without any problems. The car also does very well on gas mileage. I have gotten a consistent 31 mpg highway for 5 years, and generally get 26 mpg city. On some longer trips it is not unusual to get 32-33 mpg. This car also seems to maintain this gas mileage up to about 78-80 mpg.

The car handles great. It accellerates well for a 4-cylinder, but it could be better. It seems to accellerate better at higher speeds. It also breaks pretty well, even though the car does not have ABS (I believe this is standard now).

Weaknesses:
I can't think of much. This model year lacks ABS, and the accelleration could be better, but it is more than good enough for normal driving.

2007 Mitsubishi Lancer

Summary:
In “The Blue-Eyed Salaryman,” American author Niall Murtagh charts his fourteen year career inside Mitsubishi Japan. When Murtagh gets transferred to Osaka, he concludes that the Tokyo part of the company focuses on large visionary research projects, while Osaka demands practical applications. And there you have it: the dichotomy that accounts for Mitsubishi’s progress in the automotive arena. You have visionary products like the Evo with very little practical purpose, and dull products like the Outlander with very little vision. So where does the new Lancer fit?

Strengths:
The Lancer’s proportions and details are spot on. The high beltline adds to the impression of size from the outside, yet allows occupants to feel surrounded and safe. Mitsu ripped off the tail lamp design from the Alfa 156– a gorgeous machine that Americans never got the chance to ignore. The Lancer’s new front fascia copies Audi’s current pig snout and makes it work, flanking the orifice with a set of angry eyes headlights and bisecting the otherwise gaping maw with a suitably wide bumper.

Weaknesses:
The new Lancer is not a stunning design per se– it’s more handsome than drop-dead gorgeous. But it is a stunning development for Mitsubishi. The Lancer is to Mitsubishi what the Altima was to Nissan five years ago: a radical reskin that instantly elevates a plain-Jane model from zero to hero. Unfortunately, the parallel continues inside.

2003 Lancer ES Sedan

Summary:
The lancer is the first car I have had, and I still have it today. It has never failed me and still runs well today, only have had some problems with it. but otherwise I would definetely recommend it to anyone looking to by a standard car. plus its a great and easy car to upgrade as well. some dissapointing things are that it does not come with ABS standard, the front brakes tend to wear out fast, also it would be nicer to have a few more BHP, but that can be easily fixed with a new muffler and/or Intake, short ram or Cold air.

Strengths:
-Amazing audio for stock
-nice styling
-roomy

Weaknesses:
-120 BHP stock
-Front brakes wear out fast
-No ABS standard

2004 WHT Lancer ES

Summary:
I bought this car used in need of an A to B car. What I got instead was a really nice looking, great handling car for the price of a decent car. I've had this car for awhile now, and I must say that I am very happy with it. It looks sporty, it's easy and fun to mod, runs great, very reliable, and gets great gas mileage.

Strengths:
Great handling/turn radius (turns on a dime), Comfortable, Nice sized trunk for a compact car, reliable, stock speakers and CD player sound great (my friends swear they're not stock), looks great, great for modifying.

Weaknesses:
No anti-lock brakes, rear seat doesn't fold down, no keyless entry, and there's only one cigarrette-lighter (have to share the lighter with my GPS, Satelite radio, blue wheel-well lights(, stock engine could use a little more power. Reality though, I love this car.
