2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback review from North America
"This is the first car I've owned that is actually fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
For a wagon it is quite sporty yet surprisingly roomy.
Though it is not the rally art model, the torque is very good and gives great acceleration for a four cylinder. It handles steep grades in the Canadian Rockies just fine, even with four passengers.
The only thing I wish was that manual transmission was offered in Canada, but apparently not for the wagon this year.
