2002 Mitsubishi Lancer ES review from North America
"A very reliable people mover!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A small leak in the oil filter at about 60,000 miles.
The front left hub cap fell off.
Other very minor problems (such as the transmission tends to skip very slightly).
General comments?
I got this car as previous rental, and had another owner after that, and now that it is in my possession, it still runs very well with some minor problems.
I have had it for two years and I still love it. It handles very well on city streets to freeways, and it looks sharp. I am constantly driving my friends because they say I have the most comfortable car.
I have had some minor problems, such as a leak in my oil filter, and a wire that sticks out from the trunk, but the biggest problem was my missing hub cap. Albeit, it is just cosmetic, but that shows how durable my car has been to 60,000 miles.
I also wish it had a more powerful air conditioner, but that's about the only real complaint I have.
