Nothing yet, but I hear a rattling when the car is cold in the morning.
The car is very economical; on a full tank I can drive 650km.
In terms of performance, it is faster than its competitors, like the Mazda 3 and Toyota Corolla.
The driving visibility in this car is amazing; the side mirrors are large and efficient.

Love that car
Nothing has failed.
CVT transmission takes some getting used to, but I love it. It is always in the right "gear".
It has a bit too much hard plastic in the dash, and it marks very easily, but it is easy to clean.

Piece of crap
Car just started randomly misfiring.
Surges at highway speeds.
Jerks when backing up; almost shuts off.
Stereo sounds horrible for supposedly being the upgraded system.
The car is so slow, it's almost dangerous to merge on the freeway.
It screams fast with the appearance package, but it's slow.
Cheap interior.

Nope, it's a real pile, it would be nice to just get rid of such a bad car.
Why on earth didn't test drive this car before you bought it?
2.0 litre and a CVT transmission will never be a sports car. You need a turbo or a 3.0 or even more if you want automatic and it to be fast. Or you could get a manual transmission, which are much faster 0-60. Any car with a small 4 cylinder engine and automatic will be slow.
Cheap, comfortable, quick, fun to drive
None so far. Only 3k miles.
This car is really quick, and handles like a dream.
Torque steer is noticeable, but mainly during sharp turns.
The gas mileage isn't great, compared to other cars in its class, but it's so much more fun to drive that it's well worth it.
The seats are firm, supportive, and comfortable, and controls are easily reachable, and easy to use.

I don't know how a car with not much torque has torque steer. If you really want to feel torque steer, drive a newer Impala SS or an SRT-4.
I have a GTS too (2011, reviewed here) and I've had torque steer from time to time. "Not much torque" is extremely relative, BTW -- the Lancer GTS 2.4 of today would have been considered an extremely high-performance 4 cylinder vehicle in the mid-to-late 1980s, considering it outperforms turbocharged higher-displacement 4s and 6s of that era.
All good so far
Nothing.
Standard features on this model make it a bargain buy.
Handles as well as my previous Subaru.
Fuel economy so far is approximately 8 litres per 100 Kilometres.
Mine is a Sportback, so plenty of room for gear in the back when the seats are folded.
Styling is good.

I am the original reviewer of this car, which has now done 30,000 trouble free kms. Fuel consumption has now dropped to 7.5 litres per 100km. Only minor gripe is the voice recognition on the Bluetooth, which often makes mistakes.
Otherwise, all good, and no expenses except routine servicing.
I too have found the voice recognition from the Bluetooth on my Lancer sometimes misunderstands me. Maybe I just mumble, and it can sometimes be funny, but who would have thought that in my lifetime I could say, "My car just doesn't understand me?".

Sounds like Mitsubishi's fancy computers aren't working out for ya.
