Rattles from the dashboard..

General Comments:

Well for this car when I bought it, I thought that the shift from the Seat Cordoba to the Lancer will be excellent, but that was not the case...

When I bought this car, I was maybe in like state of idiot.. all I thought was that the car is almost new since cars are so expensive here in Palestine..

Anyway the car is slow.. and it needs a lot of revving.

The dashboard is just so simple. I liked the Seat much much better..

The design is old for a car of 2007 model..

The seats are just awful... considering the size of the vehicle, I thought it would be very comfortable, but oh my god...

The driver seat doesn't have much maneuverability as many other manufacturers, even Kia..

The steering wheel doesn't have telescopic function, and since I'm tall I can`t find a comfortable position on long journeys...

The materials used are poor..

The engine is very noisy...

I thought Mitsubishi were great cars... well compare them to Hyundai's and KIA maybe, but don't dare compare them to Volkswagen.

Air conditioning had a high pitch noise after 10000 KM. I took it to the dealership and the problem was in the A/C Filter. It was replaced and now it works just fine.

Noise in the front right tired section. Dealer has not been able to fix it however when I took it to them the sound was not audible. It shows up sometimes so I haven't been able to pin point the real location. I suspect something related to the muffler. However Mitsubishi dealer told me that if something happens they will cover the cost of fixing it.

Excellent car.

Engine for a 2.0 Litter it moves well and provide good power. At least better than the BMW 318i I used to have.

Shift-Tronic gear box is excellent. I have the control of a manual transmission and the benefits of an automatic one. I feel of speeding I move to manual and if in a Traffic Jam nothing like an automatic.

I will change the Radio that comes with it for a much better one. Costa Rica dealerships change the radio locally for a low cost Pioneer that doesn't even plays MP3s nor has a Aux in port.

Nothing!

It is a dream car. I trade in my 1993 BMW 530i for this brand new Lancer Ralliart. At first I was a little afraid because obviously BMW is a much better brand than Mitsubishi, but as soon as I drove it out of the dealer I was in heaven.

Although it is the 2 liter version (I think that elsewhere is 2.4) it has an amazing response. It accelerates as expected and brakes the same way. I believe it is faster than the 3 liter a used to own.

The suspension is very tight and you feel very safe when you corner it.

The sport-tronic transmission is my favorite toy in the car, I only have to move my thumb a bit and I can shift it up or down at my pleasure without letting the wheel go.

It is actually roomier than expected, my in-laws have a lot more leg room than they used to have.

It has most of the features you would expect in European cars rather than in Japanese, for example: car won't lock with key in ignition, lights shut off automatically when you turn the car off, intelligent wipers, courtesy light.

The only thing I would change would be to be able to lock/unlock from the passenger seat, but that is a meaningless feature.

And the price is amazing!
