Mitsubishi Lancer owner reviews

"Aggressive looks don't match up with the Lancer Sportback's bland performance. On the plus-side, it's practical and cheap to buy."

After only owning the car for 6 weeks the awd alarm light came on apparently it is a similar problem to anti yaw control in evo. Pump dies after about 3 years (just as the warranty runs out) luckily I bought extended before hand. Very expensive job Ł3500 approx
