2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart review from North America
"Reliable, fun to drive..3 stars out of 4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door Handles Rattle.
General comments?
Gas Pedal and Brake too close, causes you to brake and accelerate at the same time.
Not a very quite car inside, can hear road underneath you.
Car handles very well on dry roads, has good gitty up for a small engine.
However when it is snowy the car slides very easily because it is so light.
The gas mileage is usually around 24-26 mpg on highway and in city.
Very easy to maneuver in city because it is very easy to see out back and front of car.
Seats are very formed and feel very good on back.
However if you don't fit in the seat (you are to wide, car has good head room considering how small it is) the seat can be uncomfortable.
Back seat is big enough to have a 6 ft person in drivers seat and 6 ft person in back of driver.
Ample trunk space with fold down back seats a plus!
