2015 Mitsubishi Lancer ES Sport Review - CarAdvice
The Mitsubishi Lancer is now eight years old, which doesn’t put it quite in Land Rover Defender territory, though it is long in the tooth for a popular model. As a manual it’s available from just $18,990, while this CVT with metallic paint costs about $21,500, making it one of the cheapest small autos from a mainstream brand. There’s 400 litres of boot space, which is a little disappointing, given it’s 50 litres smaller than that of the Mirage sedan. Fortunately, the rear seats fold down 60:40 if you need to lug around big things or just more stuff. In their upright position the back seats pretty comfortable things. There are no air vents back here, but the centre armrest makes it pretty cosy for two. The Lancer is pretty basic up front and plenty at the CarAdvice office have taken a stab at it. I actually don’t mind it though. 0-litre engine is coarse and grainy, but it pulls really confidently, there’s plenty of punch down low and even on the highway it responds effortlessly when you pull out to overtake. The CVT is a pretty smooth and capable thing, though it can take a second to react to firm presses of the accelerator pedal, and occasionally shunts after. Source: www.caradvice.com.au
