2003 Mitsubishi Lancer review from North America
"I will never get this car again!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Paint is chipping off in round circles.
Seats are wearing badly.
Heater/Ac needs to be replaced. ($2500 just for the part.)
Transmission is going out.
Steering wheel is wearing out. The plastic is falling off.
The brakes are constantly squeaking. I have replaced them many times and the wear out way too fast.
General comments?
This car does have good handling.
It is good with gas mileage.
Not a very good car if you are a tall person and have carseats in the back. My stroller doesn't fit in the trunk. Not a good family car. Okay for a single person.
When you try to pull out in the rain, the wheels slip and you don't get any power. This is not safe at all.
