Was sold on this feature. Seems to have a decent Module history. Not enough experience to rate directly at this time. full 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer review |

This car has been a track and autocross beast from day 1 because hey, free car. It's seen many long trips, including an Austin to Seattle loop via as many scenic roads we could fit in. And it just doesn't break. Maintain it well and it will run like a charm. full 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer review |

Has run flawlessly so far in the 15,000km of ownership. Servicing costs are minimal, 15,000km service interval. Use of timing chain, means no expensive timing belt changes. full 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer review |

10 year warranty and over 25 years of rally competitions, need I say more. To give that kind of warranty proves that Mitsubishi stands behind their vehicles. full 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer review |
