A friend was shopping for a new DD, he's interested in the lancer because of the low price and financing plan. I'm trying to persuade him to choose anything but Mitsu, they're going down hill fast, and their products suck. Even the Evo X's interior looks like the lowest priced lancer. As a former mitsubishi lancer owner I had the unpleasant experience of owning one.
Worst thing that happened to me was when my car wouldn't start. There was a recall on my 2009 lancer where the relays would rust and be constant open, easy fix so i dropped off my car for about 3 days, and then I get a call from the dealership saying they are shutting down and I had to pick it up. I asked WTF you guys didnt fix my car!? Apparently the dealership was broke and my car just sat there. I had to pay a tow truck to tow it from one dealership another dealership in town. Guess what, they closed down too!!!! even after I called to book it with them
This was only one of many things troubling the car.
Anyways, i ended up fixing my own car. F*ck that Mitsubishi 160,000km and 10 year warranty.
Sorry I had to rant, worst manufacture/car ever... For those looking for a mistubishi. Please do not buy one
