Fantastic drive 100k miles later!

I love my lancer. It still holds that sleek look of modern cars. It's gas Friendly and the heated seats are a massive plus. I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who needs a great commuter

Reliable, sporty and excellent ride!

I'm the second owner of the 2012 Lancer. Such an easy car to drive! Mechanically it's a great ride. Very roomy for a sedan. Plenty of leg room and storage in the trunk. Great on gas mileage and the look is very sporty and fun!

The Car I’ve Been Searching For

The car has been an absolute joy every time I turn the key. It’s hard to not even want to be in the driver seat. I can’t wait to make this a trophy winner like my last Lancer. Follow me on IG @jammacity2010

Not a bad little car, drives well, good handling.

Not too comfortable or durable, but drives smooth enough and handles well. I would call it reliable and a decent value. Good fuel economy as well.

Most reliable car I am owning

It is pretty good. After I got it last November, nothing bad happened to me until now. It always runs so smoothly and quiet. The room inside the car is good, and the trunk is big. Anyway, it accompanies me so well during the past year when I stay in America. I like it very much!

Most Reliable Car in Mid-Size Sedan

Car with excellent Drivability and handling. Trim AWD drive will help you in snow time. And the Japanese make engine will never let you down.

Fun first sports car

I bought this car as my very first sports car to enter the world of all things fast and fun. For the few years I had the car it was taken care of accordingly and in return it took car of me. The comfort of the car was great although some long drives would be a bit uncomforting after a while, my every day commute to work never gave me an issue. The inside is made well the best part is digital display that welcomes you every time you turn the vehicle on and says good bye when you turn off. While driving I notice a shift assist on digital display as I was driving the car. As I drove the car would help with shifts to give the be possible gas mileage and cause the least amount of wear to the trans as possible which was a great touch. Although the car doesn't come with all wheel and the turbo engine with the right tires, and proper additions to the car driving it becomes a great experience, quick, shifty, and sounds amazing. Great ride, great tech, price needs a bit of a change.
