1997 Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi review from Thailand

"A weak car with no power that eats a lot of gas"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air conditioning hose, spark plugs.

General comments?

I have a 97 Lancer GLXi, 1.5 liter engine, and this is the slowest car I have ever had in my life... so slow it is dangerous, attempting to accelerate onto a freeway on ramp is a nightmare, no worthy climb in speed or torque whatsoever... Mitsubishi has been clouded in scandals recently, as well as covering up customer complaints... I understand why now.

This car eats gas very badly and with no power to boot. If it was more powerful and ate a lot of gas that would be OK... but the opposite is dominant... turn the air conditioning on and expect a 25% loss in power... so for a family looking for a new family car this is not it... there is NO POWER to get you out of a bad situation, so if you love your family stay away from this car. It's so underpowered it's dangerous. Seriously.

Another thing is the cheap carpet, you'll have to wipe off the interior weekly due to all the dust produced from the cheap carpet, so all of you that suffer from allergies and stuffy noses, this will be a nightmare for you... sometimes I wonder what I am breathing in as I drive down the road...
