These seats desperately need more lumbar support. They're okay in short distances, but I really want the Recaros from the Evo a few hours in. Stronger side bolsters would be nice for hoon duty, too. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review |

Good balance of power and economy. Good driver car for a commuter. Do not miss the Civic SI after months of ownership. Paddle shifting is quick and crisp. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review |
2010 | 4dr Sedan 152-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
I don't expect much out of entry-level cars but the base engine is 152 hp and performs great. Originally I thought the CVT engine was loud but it is still quieter than the Focus or Corolla. Accelerates great and easily gets around slow moving traffic. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review |

I came off of a 220+ Hp 6-cyl car that was 6sp sport transmission. This I4 is quite anemic at 148 HP in comparison. The CVT is different in acceleration profile and inherently smooth. I went for MPG over fun. I miss the get up and go. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review |

18" tires are EXPENSIVE! The OEM Dunlops that came with it are pretty meh: a bad compromise between a summer tire that wears out fast and an all-season that's not very grippy. They had the worst characteristics of both. Also, no matter what you get, it'll be expensive and you may have to deviate from the stock 215R18/40 size to get the tires you want. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review |
