2011 Mitsubishi Lancer GS4 Sportback 1.8 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Something different
Faults:
Not much, but not had the car long. According to the history file it has had only wear and tear parts replaced as expected for its age and mileage.
General Comments:
Standard Mitsubishi Lancer is certainly not a common sight on the roads, not in the UK anyway. This feels good to be different.
Smart looking in silver with big alloy wheels.
No it's not the Evo model - but looks similar. It's not very fast either with a pretty standard 1.8 petrol engine. I wouldn't mind so much if it was more economical, but unfortunately it isn't at only around 30 mpg, which isn't exactly great these days.
With that said, the car still has a sporty feel and is nice to drive. Handling is excellent and the car grips the corners well. Ride a little firm but certainly not uncomfortable. Leather seats which are very supportive help a lot as well. Black inside, a bit dull and plasticy but hey it's a Japanese interior. And I'm very familiar with Japanese cars - I like them for simplicity and reliability. But this is my first Mitsubishi and so far so good.
So yeah it's a pretty decent car despite being a little expensive to run for a run of the mill car. Would of course love an Evolution model, but this will do for every day driving just now!
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

This car has 17000 miles now, and I still love it. Took it to the Dragon Tail, and it did awesome. I love this car.
