I love my Lancer. In fact, I named her Shalissa. Before this car I was driving a SUV, so it was a big difference going from a SUV to a smaller car. I am extremely impressed by the gas tank size. In my old SUV, I had to fill up my gas tank once or twice a week. Driving the same distance in my Lancer, I only have to fill up once every week and a half. Sometimes I can make my gas tank last two weeks! I have saved a lot of money on gas.

Overall, this has been a really wonderful vehicle for us. It is an extremely attractive car, and we get lots of compliments about the appearance. It is a manual transmission and shifts gears like a dream - very smooth and easy. It is a very fun car to drive, and I can see how the higher end models are used in street racing. It has a nice turn radius and can make three-point turns with ease. We have owned the car for almost five years, and the only maintenance we have had to do is the regular oil changes; there have been no weird noises, idling problems, or anything of that nature. It has the best fuel economy of any car I have previously owned. The upholstery is dark and easy to clean and the seats are very comfortable.
