I have to say the Lancer is definitely built with one thing in mind; Brutal Speed.
Design (exterior)
It is an eye catcher, isn't it? Especially in that blood red paint work of it. The color of Mitsubishi Ralliart... I love the front grill. It has one of those 'Rear view mirror thrillers' if you know what I mean; You see that grill on your rear view mirror, you'd want to move over and let it pass you.
Although the rear portion of the car is a little bulky, (only in my opinion of course) but it suits the overall build of the car! It's ver rare to see the car without it's famour rear wing and to be quite honest I don't think it will look nice either.
Comfort and drive-ability
I'd like to give this car an 8 out of 10. For a car with power under the hood it is quite easy to drive it. Easy to handle but not because of the way the construction of the chassis and the wheel-base. It feels easy because of the steering column and the driver focused cock-pit.
The interipr of the car is nice too. It's fully black, almost can pass off as full Italian leather design like an Alfa or the Fiat Coupe.
Performance
This was the most sticky part of our test drive. The car has power, no doubt about that! It has perfect drag out on a straight burst but when you start compensating curvy roads, the power ratio between gears felt really funny. It was the auto selection that made decision for the driver and it started to really annoy us. The worst thing you want a car to tell a driver's driver is that, it is going to select the gears for you and there is nothing you can do about it.
The Lancer GT did have a smooth glide to it. The suspensions are pretty good for a car that's MYR114,000! It's no Porsche but hey, it's definitely something to consider if you want a decent power from a road car.
It is after all the sister car to the all mighty Mitsubishi Evolution!
Don't believe me... Go test one out now! Better still call The One Stop Car Consultant to come along with you....
