I had an 09 SE for 7 years, I'm a big Mitsubishi fan but they had nothing to offer me when It was time to replace my 09 Lancer, I hopped in the 2016 Lancer and was like wow nothing changed in this car so I ended up getting a 2016 Mazda 6 GT red soul thought I should give Mazda a chance since lately they have been very innovative with their new design language and overall internal and external build quality and so far I dont think i'll ever get out of a Mazda anytime soon.

Always loved Mitsu, have owned 3 generations of Eclipse. Wife owned a cvt Lancer and currently has a 16 Outlander. I currently own a 17 Lancer Anniversary Edition with the 5 speed manual. Excellent reliable cars, across our 6 Mitsubishi vehicles we’ve owned the total cost of repairs for all of them combined has been $38 lol. 1999 eclipse needed a thermostat, and the 2003 eclipse spyder a motor mount. Rock solid reliability.

the Lancer's multi-link rear suspension is an advantage over newer torsion-beam-equipped competitors like the Corolla, Sentra, Forte & Elantra. it partly explains its good body control and well-damped ride observed in this review.

I really like the simplicity of this car (especially my dad love it). It starts in the interior and ends in the engine bay. Everything is easy to change, filters (engine and interior), liquids, spark plugs and bulbs. No exstras, just basic stuff.

its perfect for me, i love the style, it drives well, performs well, no extra fancy stuff, less to go wrong, but many dont seem to see that...

I really want to buy one now. Mostly for the nostalgia factor, but I really (still) like the way it looks.

Savagegeese has come a long way since these early reviews

mazda needs to buy mitsubishi and bring back to life

12:09 uh oh

kudos again mate! hope you can continue bringing these video goodies. Greetings from Belgium.

This review made me go with the lancer GT for my new car. Best car reviewer on KZfaq.

This is an outstanding non-car salesperson review. It is true, the 2016 model is a dinosaur with facelift. The beauty of this car is not electronic gadgets. It is the affordability, low maintenance cost and the car basic. The total 4 years caped services cost in Australia is only AUD$920. Since 2007, this car DNA remains the same. Basically not much change and no complex mechanical design. The number of point of failure is limited. Should you want A to B car and doesn't mind listen to AM radio, you can't go wrong with so little money that you have to spend. I use the Australia NRMA car running cost calculator to compare WOL cost per week for entry level Lancer, Mazda 3 & Honda Civic (Note:The "Whole of life (WOL)" based on new to five year private operating costs in cents per km and dollars per week, travelling 15,000km per annum) The Lancer is cost AUD$23/week less compare to Mazda 3 and Civic. The saving over 5 year is AUD$5980. It is approximately 26.59% of car purchase cost value. Furthermore, the IIHS small overlap crash test has a reasonable test result. I wonder why people still buy dinosaur and Mitsubishi doesn't mind to make them. At the end, it is still a sad story. The company sell Lancer Evolution is no long has any evolution. Instead they are selling amoeba.

This type of product would be great if it was possible to manufacture and sell them at much lower prices than "updated" cars. That unfortunately doesn't appear to be the case though.

the algorithm brought to this vid its crazy, my 2011 es sport lancer still goin strong tho 💪🏽

Great review. Also look forward to seeing the upcoming Outlander review.

I have a 2016 es lancer ( I think this is the Australian version of the GT ) and could not be happier. The dated look was the reason I chose this over the mazda 3. The front facelift design almost looks like a 3000gt to me and the simple interior look has a nice clean feel. I also love driving manual and it is kinda sad that there is a lack of a market for small sedans with manual transmission and simple gadgets these days.

As much as I miss the mitsu's of the 90's (eclipse GXS's, 3000gt VR4's, Galant VR4's etc) I understand that the automotive market is rather saturated and don't hold much profit anymore. They've went back to they're roots making Aircraft since the ban placed on the Japanese aviation industry at the end of WW2 has ended, far far more profit making jets then making cars.

when i was in high school and first year of college i had 2 Mitsubishis. super reliable. 0 issues.

I think people may not realize that maybe Mitsubishi's philosophy is make simple solid cars. They sell well in other parts the world. America has gotten used to high end features in cheaply made cars. Maybe mitsu has it right?

I hate to disagree but you dont have to hate Subaru or not know any better to buy this car. Mitsubishi buyers know they are very very reliable and durable. They have the longest warranty and they are heavily discounted. Ive owned: EVO, Galant and Lancer GT, all were fun and reliable, good cars. It also has 20 more hp than the Impreza. And it has a 4wd lock! :)

I own two of these now. Yes the style is old now but when own a Mitsubishi you know you have a quality car. My last Mitsubishi a Magna (Diamanté) to you guys was a great car. Most Magnas in Australia are just run inn at 200,000k's. My last Lancer was 7 years old and had 480,000k's on the clock and still going strong. Old style but still a great car. Love my Mitsubishi.

Please do a final year Evo review! Loved the WRX review.

I just bought a 2017 se alc 2.4 litre had it two weeks and I love it

I own 2 mitsubishis. One 2004 lancer and one 2015 outlander. I love the simplicity of them. I hate all this technology bs they put in newer cars now. Everything computerized and shit. With my 04 i do all the work on it. As well as the 15’ sometimes.

I just got one O:-) Loving it!

The Driveshaft U-Joints, CV Joint, and Center Bearing are all easy to replace, and costs about $ 180.00 to $ 220.00 USD for all parts. An entire pre-assembled replacement Drive Shaft with Center Bearing runs between $ 385.00 to $ 450.00 USD, depending on the merchant.

For reliability and over all cost of ownership once car is paid off the Lancer and other current Mitsubishi are extremely easy to maintain with LOW cost of repairs. Timing chain on all engines, no expensive timing belt service every 80k miles like Hyundai and Subaru (Subaru has some engines now with chains ) but every hyundai/Kia motor has timing belts. Mitsubishi brakes can be changed in your driveway easily and for cheap. My brake pads lasted 45k miles. Mitsubishi uses long life antifreeze...100k mile between flushes. Mitsubishi has long life CVT transmission fluid which is good for 100k miles between flushes. See how inexpensive the Lancer is to own for many years? Tires, wipers, and brake pads only things that need changing. I love my STI but not for everyday driving to work. I commute 100 miles a day and the 08 Lancer is perfect for that. Reliable, cheap to insure and I can work on myself to change brakes etc.

Nice review...i'd actually buy one after this review...

i have a 2016 awc lancer es. was a beast in the snow skids really good too when you turn traction control off XD.

I am somebody that hates being inundated by all the interior stuff. I appreciate the reliability of a brand new car that is also proven since it's been in production for a long time.

For those of us who drive our cars at 7/10ths (at most), what exactly is understeer?

Hi, im wondering if 2014 to 2015 exhaust will fit on this 2016 model? Do they have the same piping? Pleasw help me Thanks!

I have 2013 Lancer SE AWC and I chose it over the subaru for many reasons. It has a bigger engine, it has paddle shifter and 5 years warranty and it looks way better.

These cars are great beater/daily drivers. Something you don't mind a few dings on. Easy and cheap to run.

I'd love to see your take on the Kizashi that is no more...

good review

2010-2014 Evo X all the way. My dream car

Early 2000 is good age for cars

Hey thanks! Really useful for a widow who's thinking of buying another Mitsubishi. Don't know nothing about this rocket science!

I think this platform is something PROTON (our local car manufacturer) has produced before. it's actually a rebadged car based on Mitsubishi lancer. it shares almost identical features for its interior and a little changed in term of exterior look. it's called the Proton Inspira. it's claimed to be injected with DNA of lotus ride and handling. I am currently driving this car and kudos to Mitsubishi for making a great car.

I like the turn at 12:11

i want your warm winters :) it is sad to see mitsubishi lag so far behind

Do you guys not undercoat your cars with an oil-based lubricant? It will control the rust.

they give u more for the money becoz they know the sell older models:) reliable, value, peppy, best warranty, for point A to point B why not...

I'm surprised I didn't know about these guys before. So funny

lmfao you actually reviewed this car.... I was looking up on youtube forever really wanted a in-depth reviews of cars that no one ever touches. an audi a4 allroad for example

I like your videos starting with under the car its Great

Was Turbowski trained by Superchargeski?

Turbowski and his infinite wisdom lol. He says the best things.

tires are all season or winter ?

I've always loved the lancer but what happened to the front of it??? It doesn't look as good as the 2012-2015 lancer gt models imo

Brilliant.

How are incentives for this car?

You don't talk about the tires your using , l put continental true contact living in Miami and the ride experience it's awesome.

What are those wheels called?

just purchased 2016 gsr hatch, in australia and only comes in front wheel drive not in all wheel, also scraped leather interia and or sport seats options, even tried to barter for them to contact the factory to try and get the upgraded interia and was happy to pay well above extra for it, but Mitsu doesnt want a bar of it.

I have the 2010 GTS with CVT. 2.4L non turbo. Unfortunately it was a FWD; how I wish it had AWD. The CVT part doesn’t bother me though; came with nice big paddle shifters. (Paddle shifters on Subaru is a joke; too small). So anytime I don’t like how CVT is behaving, I just hit the paddle and manually take over. For folks with the 2016 model that has CVT but no manual over ride, I read somewhere the transmission was actually factory-wired for the manual shift-selector. So you’d just need to get a shifter (either buy new or from salvage junk yard) and swap it in. A guy posted it on one of the Lancer forums as a preparatory step before adding a turbo to his 2.4L; do a search and it should be easy to find.

Classic!

off topic question.. what gloves are you wearing during your drive? look hella comfortable.

Turbowski pounding the shit out of it!!!

Can we import these in pakistan

Surprised that Proton is quoted here in an America review...

Why haven’t you guys reviewed the Evo X ?

These things sell quite well in New Zealand maybe because the buyers are of the generation who grew up on expensive (seriously my dads Ford Lazer sport cost the equivalent to 70k when new) but quite basic New Zealand assembled cars.

How do I go about husbanding Turbowski?

I have extremely bad experiences with Mitsubishi. My Mitsubishi Colt was a lemon. As my boss wanted to change our park of vehicles with the new Mitsubishi Outlander and ASX, I warned him in a letter about my atrocious experience. He didn't listened to me, a mere "normal guy". We ended up having those cars for three years, already under warranty, they had all sorts of gremlins ; in the moment the warranty wore off, the cars falled apart. This was a catastrophy for our business and we lost years of budget in those turds. Don't be us.

I love my 2016 Lancer GT 5 speed.

Hey, can you review 2016 Outlander sel. Just the 4cyl. I actually test drove it and wanted to buy one. Really surpised me. Very comfy ride and NVH was really good. Cvt was decent I think..But the wife told me not a mitsu. Tell me what ya think man.. Ended getting the '16 Mazda CX5 Gt with tech.. 😄

Wow the Lancer is AWD in the US? I don't know if we ever got an AWD Lancer in Australia that wasn't the Evo. The 4B12 engine is absolutely bulletproof. I own a Lancer with one of these engines and it's been extremely reliable, the only issue I've had with it is a minor oil leak from not changing the oil on time. The interior is simple and the driving experience (manual of course) is fun enough for me and that engine gives me ample power for what I need.

Plz add a Manuel

Pull out!.........good advice no matter how you look at it.....

whats all the fuss about? I see people talking about mistus like they are old Ladas .. can someone explain what is missing in these lancers thats available in corolla and civics and the likes? these are very nice cars even though they are "slightly" outdated.

Lockable center diff or lockable front & rear diffs?

normally I'd say buy a Subaru but I messed up and purchased one and its a oil burning pos. I have to put oil in it every 2500 miles, and this sucks because I need awd or 4wd but don't need a truck or suv, or crossover.

This video made me so sad... My 2008 Lancer is rusting away and I really don't know what should I replace it with. Very reliable car but the rust is a powerful enemy!

I think they want to slowly withdraw from North America like Suzuki and Isuzu and sell a small variety of vehicles in Asia and Europe.

if they were gettin' rid of the EVO, should have at least kept the ralliart. I had the 09' Ralliart a few years as kinda a fun daily. you get some evo stuff shoved in and tuning support even an evo 10 turbo swap away from nice performance if you couldnt drop 40k on an evo.

Yall are calling this car so 'VINTAGE' but it the last model made of it was 2017 if you think about it, it's really not that vintage compared to 1980-1990 ford f150s

wish they still made them, but with more ground clearance

Is that a GH4 you're recording with?

How did you do donuts like that?

It must suck living in a climate where it snows in winter. A few months of the year where driving a car is not enjoyable in the slightest. Fuck. That.

LOL, I'm now noticing all the traffic laws he breaks during his videos (aside from speeding which is obvious..)

IMHO Mitsubishi has failed on creating new designs, marketing, following trends, but it has been delivering cars that are surprisingly good to drive. I only care about driving dynamics in a car and absolutely nothing else, the Lancer and the Evo are the 2 among the few. It's sad to see the Evo go, and it will be sad to see Mitsubishi Motors go.

IM all for simplicity. sometimes less is more. It has a chance to get back, but it need to work on the affordability and simplicity durabillity niche

The sinking mitsu. Here in asia the only thing that makes them afloat is their eco cars. Mirage series and the new pajero sport. Its sad cause the innovation that mitsubishi once has died down. I will not be surprised if they phase out the lancer series and the pajero series. Crisis really hit them hard.

i am buying one next week

what did he mean when he said this is the same car is form 2005? it was created in 2005 and being built in 2016? so what have lancer have they been selling since 2005? this same exact car for 11 years?

Did Mitsubishi step their game up or something? Everyone in the comments is raving about how reliable these cars are, while my eclipse is a fucking turd

Ever digging your vids. Still hoping that one day you'll give some love (or hate) to BMW.

The interior is almost like my 2006 Subaru Legacy.

Mitsubishi Lancer is my favorite rental car. Almost everything said in this vid about the car was good. So, what's the beef

Poor Mitsu. What was and what is....so sad

man mitsubishi's are solid as shit easy to service for the most part select things you won't need to do very often are more difficult, worst is parts can be expensive the right side driveshaft oem C$1000. (Raliarts, EVO's only) DCT Transmission is like C$10,000

it still looks like my mom's 13' Lancer

I feel sorry for Mitsubishi. on the other hand, I do miss hydrolic power steering badly.

the Lancer is a very rugged design. way better than the competition in this segment. just don't get a cvt

For the money, not a bad car. I hate the CV transmission though.

I'm soo thankful Oregon doesn't salt the piss out of our roads. How the hell do you all put up with that??

I own a 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Gt and it's a great vehicle. but I really feel Mitsubishi has let go and it's no longer trying hard to make quality vehicles for North America or Europe
