Mitsubishi Lancer Saloon road tests and consumer car reviews

Mitsubishi Lancer Saloon 2.0 Sport 2008

Bought this 2 litre sports saloon new for £10495, i.e. Fiesta money, 18 months ago. Totally reliable, the whole car feels properly engineered. Fast with the best handling and balance I’ve come across, extremely stable at speed on the motorway. All this is achieved without the hard ride of most sporty cars, like the Ibiza FR I had previously. Big boot, well equipped, 39mpg and a powerful, smooth 2.0 petrol engine that pulls like a train above 4000 revs. Rare, only seen two in a year and a half and one of those was the estate. Impossible to understand why this excellent car at a mega bargain price was not a big seller. Superseded, but now a genuine second hand bargain. Very highly recommended.
