Mitsubishi Lancer

While an improvement over the previous model, the redesigned Lancer scores only midpack in its class. While handling is agile and steering is responsive, lending the car a sporty feel, the ride borders on being too stiff. Further, the engine is noisy, and the brakes were disappointing. This Lancer also had subpar fit and finish, tight rear-seat headroom, and mediocre fuel economy.
