Amazing first car

published

Driving is smooth, this was the baseline cj es model sedan. I brought it brand new as I wanted assurance that my next car would not break down and cost me excess money. Manual version here, fuel efficient one tank of 91 gets from Brisbane to Sydney. Capped price servicing 250$ with five years warranty and free road side assistance. * if you follow they service schedule. 50000km 3.5 years and not a single issue. Happy customer here.

Mitsubishi Lancer

published

Medium range car. Interior is not great. Lots of plastic. Dashboard is huge could of been better use of that space. Passenger seat legroom is not sufficient. Capped price servicing is a relief. Handling is ok. Outlook is not bad. Overall happy with the car. A good value for money family car.

Mate, she's a ripper

I bought 2nd hand, but with very low k's. Love the car, my 3rd Mitsy and the best. Quiet, powerful, smooth ride and great handling. Only down side, is the servicing, it's mainly only checking items (check liquid levels, check brakes, check.... check... and so on), Great interior and lay out of cabin. Reliable and good on fuel

Very pleasantly surprised!

published

My dad was the one who convinced me to take this car for a test-drive and initially I was a bit skeptical as the car I had at the time was a 2013 Kia Sportage and I felt that by trading it in for an older car, I would be going backwards. How wrong was I! The Lancer may be 5 years older than the Kia I had, but it is a far superior car! It's so smooth and comfortable to drive and is a lot more economical. It has plenty of get up and go when I need it to also. It has quite a spacious interior and even my 6'2 husband can easily fit into both the passenger seat and the driver's seat (not that he gets to drive it very often :-D). I would highly recommend this car to anyone.

Brilliant car to drive! Very roomy and looks nice

published

Bought this car 2 weeks ago off an old lady with full service history and 100k 2008 for 8k. It is a manual with sunroof. It is a basic car but roomy and so nice to drive and powerful. Absolutely love driving this car and would buy a new one in the future! Even fits two boosters and a car seat in the back. The gearbox and engine are brilliant. Such fun to drive!

Awesome Car`

published

The car is easy to run, smooth and enjoyable to drive! Gives a bit of a kick when you put the foot down with the 2.4L Model.
Interior is clean and crisp just leather seats and the interface could make it nicer.
Fuel economy is excellent as you can get 500km out of a tank costing around $55

Very Good Car!

published

This is the second car that I have owned and I bought it brand new. I have to say that it is amazing to drive and is really reliable. The handling is second to none and the seats are extremely comfy. The servicing so far has been a breeze, especially with the capped price servicing that was included in the deal. I'm going to hold on it for quite a while as it's an awesome car! The sportiness of it really appeals to me.

really reliable

published

Very pretty car, very reliable, very comfy and does the job really well. All in all this is a good choice for a cheap reliable car, requires only 1 service a year (no minor or major… just the 1!) however, the bottom of the range is rather feature poor. But my biggest issue is noise, the car has a lot of road noise… which is very dispointing!

Best new car under $25K

published

This is the 4th Lancer I have owned, I love them. Haven't had any problems with any of them, they all run smooothly, good on fuel efficiency, low noise and comfortable to drive. If you want a good quality, reliable, brand new car under $25K, I don't think there's any better car on the market than a Mitsubishi Lancer.

Love ralliart

published

I love this car and I can't have enough driving it, my partner has the same car and we enjoy going for car trips with our kids and do some crazy driving, Drove over 10 hours from Melbourne to Sydney several times, has enough space for a family and it's great for who simply loves cars and performance driving.

Great car

published

I have owned a lancer before my current one as well and they have always been reliable, I haven't had any troubles. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for value and reliability. Looks better than most cars in its price range too in my opinion although you see them everywhere too lol

great car

published

I love my Mistusbishi lancer and was hoping to update it however the lack of the hatchback option on the latest model has made me hold off a purchasing new. Hopefully the next years model will include this.
It has been a great family car for the five of us and we haven't had any mechanical issues since our purchase in 2010

Lancer CJ (2007-2015)

I own a 2017 CJ 2.0 ltr with the S4 Mivec CVT transmission and the factory warranty expires in December 2022. My enquiry is regarding a descending whine experienced on rolldown from the transmission whilst stopping as the trans changes from the highest to lowest ratios. The descending pitched whine is evident whatever the temperature of the engine/ transmision is, hot or cold.
Is this a normal noise with every CVT or something to get rectified. I need all the information available before taking it into the dealer, cheers.

CVT transmision.

Hi.
With my lancer is same model as yours and I do not have a whine from the gear box when the engine is changing down.

I would advise you to get your local dealer to give it a test drive. I should think if you just called into there service centre and explained your problem they would do a test drive while you wait. Best time to go to your dealer would be after lunch which is a quiet time for there reception.
Good luck
Andrew
