Mitsubishi Lancer (2012-2016)

Excellent car in maintenance level, fuel consumption very less, good fabrics. But--inside no good quality sound proof, wind, engine sound can hear more inside

My wife was looking to upgrade her sedan and we were both confused because of the wide range of options available to us. We finally went by our friend’s recommendations and purchased the Mitsubishi Lancer. We went for the white model with the AI gas cap. My wife absolutely adores the looks and finds it fun to drive as well! The black seats exude an ambience of luxury and the trunk is extremely spacious as well. The bluetooth is absolutely amazing and my wife loves how he dashboard isn’t overboarded with too many buttons. The sedan is nice and light-weight as well which makes it easy and fun to handle this automobile. The lights are very smart on the automobile and the trims on the dashboard are quite fancy too! The back seats fold down which makes it possible to put giant things in the trunk which is a great positive for us since we are a family who loves taking road trips!

The Mitsubishi is like a classic car and is still one of the company’s oldest running models. I feel that it is the most attractively-designed small sedan in this country, which also happens to be the most affordable one. The Mitsubishi Lancer EX is offered in two types of engine, a 1.6-litre and a 2.0-litre. I own the bigger engine variant and have quite a good judgement about it. It is more powerful than the Nissan Sunny and is quite at par with the Honda City. It also has 18-inch wheels for the top end variant, which also happens to be the first in the segment. All of these are offered at almost AED 20,000 lesser than the City.

My family and I love the Mitsubishi brand. We already have an Outlander and decided to buy the Lancer in 2017, mainly because it is very well equipped for its price. We got the most expensive variant that came with a lot of equipment like navigation and six-speaker sound system. We could have spent a little more and probably gotten a Corolla. But the Lancer is pleasing to drive. It does give horrible mileage and is also quite old compared to other cars. Especially the interior. Still, for its price tag, I would consider it good value for money sedan. And it is indeed extremely cheap. I just wish that the GLX came with a manual gearbox to bring the best out of its engine. That would have made the car a really great buy. I really wanted to buy an Evo and am really sad that the Lancer may have no successor in the future.
