Like I said in my pros and cons, it's not AWD, Turbo charged or a manual/CVT transmission but for a little more than beyond basic car it's not bad at all. I have a ton of ideas and modifications that I want to do to it. I would do whatever mod that I can do to it on my own even though car shops do guarantee quality work, it's just a personal preference.Jun 15, 2014

This car is quick with the 2.4L MIVEC power plant. The FWD isn't the greatest, there ia a little torque steer on hard take offs, but not enough for very many people to notice. A LSD would go nicely up there. The handling around back road twists is very neutral. There are some curves that i was afraid to take the Z around at any sort of speed, those are the curves where the Lancer shines. This is a great performing car. The interior is pretty basic, one complaint is the lack of a map light, but it's no big deal. I have gotten around 23-24 MPG with mixed drivingOct 07, 2013

Ive had two lancers, a 2003 which got wrecked, and a 2004. Liked them both. The 2004 more so it was a different edition more power better handling, better styling. For a four cyl. it ran good and still got 32 mpg. Gotta have a 5 speed in this car the automatic is boring. Put it through some rough time and it held up great. I didnt put brakes on it until 90k miles and did the timing belt also, other than that i just changed the oil. I liked having four doors and still had a bit a performace. Great car to own I would def. buy another.Mar 26, 2013

I bought this car in 2008 at 40000 miles. When I bought it I had planned to test a few cars first but once I got in it and drove it I fell in love. Often that turns out to be a mistake but not with this car. It's parts can be hard to find sometimes but it doesn't break down easily. I will tell you one more thing if you see one of these running down the road don't underestimate it they are quick.Nov 25, 2012

I love everything about this car. It's my first Mitsubishi and I'm
hooked. It may not have leather seats, heated seats, or dual climate
control but I wouldn't trade it for anything(except a newer ralliart or
evo of course). May 15, 2011

This car has lots of zoom power and because of it compactness can zip in and out of traffic well. The seating is a bit boxy, but for the price this is a good basic car to own. Gas mileage is good - average about 28MPG city and Highway. Stats reveals that this is a low cost maintenance car.Feb 26, 2011

For me 1.6 liter engine is a bit too lame. But for
comparison to other 1.6 engines, its performance is
pretty good, for instance the low rpm torque is huge
and it's got a power peek. And that's about it.Oct 31, 2009

the engine is kind of weak, only 105 hp is not really that much, but I guess it is ok for a city like the one I live in, which is quite sloppy. also the suspension could be harder.that´s it.Jun 30, 2009

For the base model of the lancer, it is surprisingly quick. Even though it is no where near as fast as the Evo edition. I do love it for what i paid for it and how well it has lasted me. Though i have never before owned a four door car, it does come in quite handy. Gas mileage is pretty decent IMO. and yes it is fun to drive. Standard FTW!Jun 29, 2009

For the money, great base car for starting modding with a strong engine and tight handling. The interior of the car is really great with a red and black theme that really caught my eye at the dealership. A blast to drive.Apr 28, 2009

This is my gorgeous 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralli Art. It has a 2.4L Mivec 4cyl. I have installed a injen cold air intake and a vibrant cat-back exhaust system. It also has an evo 8 spoiler and a front strut bar. Best car i have ever owned, and the most fun to drive. Great for drifting.Dec 22, 2008

With the 04 model lancer it has great accelaration for a 4 cylinder and has excellent handling slthough the safety of the car wouldn't be reliable in a crash.so far its proven ar and has only needed repairing from kangaroos in the whole time of ownership. its a great car and is worth buying. :] Dec 14, 2008

I miss this car. Sadly someone Decided it would be a cute idea to steal this car at 4 am when few would be up or paying attention.. Why is beyond me, but I can only imagine it had something to do with the fact that I had raced the car Semi- Professionally as seen in the photos.. and for MONTHS before that race happened i had literally spent every weekend at the track practicing r/t's and what not.. Anyways, this car was TONS of fun for FWD NA MIVEC Mitsubishi. Needed NO repairs EVER and had a premium sound system in it. What sucked, The color of it got me tickets even when I WASN'T doing anything wrong.Sep 08, 2008

Smooth and rather female one... possibly both interior and exterior not styling, anyway it's good for family conditions with a great roomy interior and classy exterior styling. Excellent driving position of mid-size/ Well, this truck is not fun to drive. But due to its appearance and affordability the truck can really be good enough.Sep 04, 2008

La seule chose que je n'aime pas de cette voiture est qu'elle est automatique sinon tout le reste est merveilleux! Mais j'aimerais mieux avoir une Lacer Évolution VIII car le look est vraiment mon style. Mais pour l'instant je me contente de ma Lancer LS 2004! Bonne journée a Tous!Aug 29, 2008

I love my car it came stock with a 2.4 litre engine pushing 168hp.I got it in lightning yellow.It`s got manual shift with good acceleration,good braking & great handling.Myself i love the exterior & interior looks or i would not have bought it right?So far i`ve only put brakes and tires on ,And that`s pretty good as i drive it like i stole it hahaha.Sticker price at the time was $24 888.38mpg highway 28 city???with just the regular maintenance thos far...I`ve owned the car for 4 years and still love driving it...speedometer marks 220kph...hit that at about 5000rpm in 5 gear...burried it by the time i hit rev limitor at about 6700rpm.Car felt real tight at those speed...incredible for a 4 cylinder stock besides a k&n filter in the stock air box...what a blast to drive!!!Aug 07, 2008

i love my car, its great for running around town, its so fun to drive, servicing is cheap, goes pretty good for a 4 cylinder car, it handles pretty good on the road and they sell cheap, the auto is easier to drive than the manual, but boring on long tripsAug 02, 2008

Hele bilen!! Den er hurtig, smart - og jeg er glad for den. Sælgeren var en nar - men bilen er der nu ikke noget i vejen med! Skulle dog lige finde ud af hvordan barnevognen kunne være der, men da det problem var løst....Så er det SUPER!!

Alt i alt en fin familiebil, der desværre er lidt dyr at køre i. Men man sidder godt, og der er rimelig med plads af en stationcar at være. Ligger godt på vejen, og har allerede overhalet en Lamborghini :-)Jun 26, 2008

Aftermarket suspension, air intake and exhaust made this a loud and FUN ride. It is a WONDER that I did not get some very expensive tickets in this car!Apr 27, 2008

This car is great, It's almost time for the first oil change since I have had it and it hasn't gotten old yet. This car is quick with the 2.4L MIVEC powerplant. The FWD isn't the greatest, there ia a little torque steer on hard take offs, but not enough for very many people to notice. A LSD would go nicely up there. The handling around backroad twisties is very neutral. There are some curves that i was afraid to take the Z around at any sort of speed, those are the curves where the Lancer shines. This is a great performaing car. The interior is pretty basic, one complaint is the lack of a map light, but it's no big deal. Fuel Economy isn't the greatest, especially is you have a lead foot. The MIVEC kicks in a 3500RPM and will suck gas like no other past that point. I have gotten around 23-24 MPG with mixed driving. Apr 05, 2008

I've driven this car since Nov. '05 and never had one problem. Only routine maintenance. Power isn't thrilling, yet sufficient for a 2 litre 4-cyl getting an average of 25-28 MPG city/highway mixed driving. I am actually getting ready to install a chrome air intake kit, but in the mean time, to improve air flow, I cut out a section of the bumper between the inside of the grille and the opening of the air intake duct (stock intake). Basically that allows more direct airflow straight through the grille into the duct, as opposed to the dumb design it comes with. Already I am noticing noticable improvements in throttle response and acceleration, and I am currently in the midst of calculating gas mileage.Apr 04, 2008

The build quailty is excellent, its a solid in line four cylinder so its easy to work on - the engineering is smart and takes in consideration that someone will have to fix it at some point. easy to upgrade & modify. Handles pretty good, but has a wide turning radius. The gearbox is very good - not fantastic but its pretty responsive.Mar 24, 2008
