Lancer X appeared in 2007 and is still selling well to this day. Its appearance, which appealed to many motorists, resembles a fighter jet. Despite its interesting exterior, the car also has other useful qualities that make the car popular even on the secondary market.

The body of the “tenth” Lancer is not extremely durable, because the metal used is quite thin. The paintwork is also not durable, so scratches and chips can often be found on these cars. Even pebbles on the road can slightly damage the rear arches, especially since the anti-gravel coating often comes off on Lancers.

But for those who decided to buy on the secondary market and are going to inspect the body in search of rust, then it is worth starting with the trunk, this is where it most often forms, because condensation accumulates in the luggage compartment, and also water leaks in small quantities through the rear light area .

Even on Lancers, over time, the headlights dim, the mirror elements on the fog lights burn out, and the bulbs on the taillights often go out, so they will have to be replaced, but during replacement you need to be careful so that the corner of the light filter does not break off.

Salon of the “tenth” Lancer

The inside of the car uses hard plastic, which can squeak over time. As for the chairs, they use fabric that hardly wears out, but the armrests on the doors and between the chairs wear out.

The Lancer uses very simple electrical equipment, but despite the simplicity, after a few years (3-5) the heater fan motor may hum; if you replace it, buying a new one will cost about $90. It is better to make a replacement before the onset of cold weather, because in winter there is a high probability that it will fail.

It also happens that on some copies, heated seats, climate control, drives, and adjustable mirrors malfunction over time.

On many Lancer Xs, after 80-100 thousand kilometers, especially in the city, the steering buttons begin to fail. To fix the problem, you will have to replace the wiring harness rings on the steering block; they cost about $30.

Engine on Lancer

When it comes to engines, there are several different options. The most problematic is the 1.5-liter gasoline engine 4A91; there are many cars with such an engine - about 30%. After 100 thousand kilometers in the city, this engine begins to consume oil - about 5 liters per 10,000 km, due to the fact that the piston rings are coked. To fix this problem you will have to spend about $120 on new rings.

But if you keep an eye on the car, especially after it has driven 60,000 km, check the oil level with a sniffer. If you suddenly notice that the oil is decreasing, then immediately soak the rings in the decoking composition.

As for other engines, such as the 1.6-liter 4A92 and the most common - 1.8-liter 4B10 and 2-liter 4B11, they do not consume oil.

In general, the “tenth” Lancer has reliable engines, they can easily withstand 300,000 kilometers, and if the engine is not killed, then the engine will be able to ride 500 thousand.

IN Lancer X engines the MIVEC variable valve timing system is used, which is reliable and does not fail, there is also a timing chain that does not need to be changed for a very long time.

These engines also have some weak points - the throttle valve block is quite weak, it tends to get clogged, so it needs to be cleaned every 40-50 thousand km. A new unit like this will cost approximately $400. Further, after passing 60-70 thousand km. It’s worth looking at how the belt drive of the mounted units is doing; here it is important to monitor not only the belt, but also the rollers.

As a rule, after passing 120-150 thousand km. The front crankshaft oil seal may be leaking. It is worth changing, the price for it is around 30 dollars. In addition, malfunctions in the ignition system may occur due to the ignition coils. Over time, these coils also need to be changed, and they cost about 150 American rubles. And if we look at cars that were produced before 2010, then these cars have condensation detected on the oxygen sensor.

There are also situations when the tight ring between the exhaust system and the manifold is destroyed due to its unreliability, and the car begins to make sounds similar to a diesel rustle. This O-ring is not expensive - about $10.

Also, in the “tenth” Lancer, the heater motor is considered unreliable, fortunately, it is not difficult to change it, since it is located under the glove compartment.

Appearance and what spoils it

If you look closely, you can see how the wiper arms are peeling off. Other unpleasant moments include the protective film that lags behind the doorway, and the film on the rear arches peels off almost immediately.

And thanks to the not very durable paint coating, scratches can easily appear on the car, which, of course, do not improve the appearance of the car.

Gearboxes

Lancers with a 1.6-liter engine are equipped with a 4-speed automatic Jatco F4A series, which has a rich history - it was created back in the 90s, the design is quite simple, so it is reliable if you change the oil in the gearbox every 90,000 km , then this machine will travel at least 300,000 km.
As for the 5-speed manual, which is installed on Lancers with a 1.5-liter engine (Getrag F5M), there are some problems.

First, the clutch will have to be replaced several times, a clutch kit will cost about $60. It is also known that the input shaft bearings and the release bearing are rather weak; many Lancer owners had them replaced under warranty because they rattled.

But the mechanical 5-speed Aisin F5M is more durable, but after 100,000 km it can sometimes jam. In winter, all mechanical boxes that are installed on Lancers initially become tighter, because the lubricant thickens from frost, therefore, to make driving more comfortable even in winter, you just need to use frost-resistant lubricant.

There are also configurations with the Jatco JF011E variator, which has shown its best side; it was developed back in 2005 and was used on models of such brands as Mitsubishi, Nissan, Suzuki, Renault and even in American Jeep and Dodge. Of course, sometimes the selector malfunctions and it happens that the gearbox modes do not switch due to poor contact.

Also, when driving a CVT, it is important to remember that the CVT does not tolerate sudden wheel locking when the wheels stick into a curb during parking, for example. When the wheels suddenly lock, the following situation occurs inside: scratches appear on the pulleys due to a rotated belt, the pulleys themselves begin to deform the belt, after which the variator begins to slip.

Repairing such a continuously variable transmission will not be cheap at all - about $2,000, plus to this amount you also need to add the cost of the belt, bearings, pulley, and there are also cases when you have to change the planetary gears and even the oil pump. How to determine whether it’s time to repair the gearbox - if jerking or slipping appears, then it’s time to shell out money.

On the other hand, if you treat the box with care, do not tear it or overheat it, keep it clean, and also change the special, expensive ($20 per liter) Dia Queen CVT-J1 oil every 70,000 km, then the CVT The box will last a very long time - no less than an automatic transmission can work - about 250,000 km.

And yet, albeit very rarely, there are Lancers with a 4WD all-wheel drive transmission, they use electronic control and a clutch that connects the rear drive. The same system is used on Outlanders; it is famous for its reliability and does not create any special problems.

Suspension on the “tenth” Lancer

The design of the suspension is the same as on the “ninth” Lancer - there are MacPherson struts in the front, and a multi-link in the rear - a fairly strong chassis, but you shouldn’t drive through serious mud. In order for the suspension to last longer, you must try to drive on more or less clean roads. If you drive on sand and salt, then after a while the struts, stabilizer bushings, and even springs will creak. Because the rubber supports between the lower turns and the support cups are worn out.

Also, the sliding bearings of the front strut supports do not like dirt and when turning the steering wheel, they will make either a creaking or crunching sound, and replacing them will cost $50 for each support.
As for the front struts, their price is $200 each. There were such advanced cases when these racks did not travel more than 20,000 km. But in cars that were produced after 2011, the struts became longer lasting - they began to last almost 3 times longer.

The developers did not stand still and in Lancers released in 2014 they installed anthers on the shock absorbers, which seriously began to protect the rod and oil seal from dirt. Also, in new cars the rear bearings on the hubs have become more durable.

Steering

The steering mechanism also differed not for the better - an electric power steering is installed here, while all other Lancers have a hydraulic booster.

The first Lancers began to experience knocking noises from steering rods and racks after 50,000 km. It’s good that this problem, as a rule, appeared under warranty, so dealer service centers replaced this entire expensive unit, because at that time it was impossible to buy these parts separately. In other Lancers, there are no complaints about the steering mechanism; even the steering tips and rods can withstand about 100,000 km perfectly. mileage

Brake system

There are only 2 features in the brake system - after about 60 thousand kilometers, the caliper guide brackets may ring on a bad road; to correct this situation you will need to spend about 45 dollars per set.

On early Lancer models, the developers made mistakes in terms of heat resistance. In general, brake discs can easily withstand about 100,000 km. mileage, when driving calmly, but if you drive the car in an aggressive style, then the discs can go screw. Therefore, for those who like fast and spirited driving, you can install better quality wheels.

In general, the Lancer is a fairly reliable car; there are some minor problems, but they can always be easily fixed. It is better not to consider Lancers equipped with a 1.5-liter engine, but other modifications of Lancers can be safely purchased.

The official premiere of the Mitsubishi “C-segment” sedan in the form of the tenth generation “Lancer” model took place in January 2007 at the international motor show in Detroit. But the history of the model began a little earlier - in 2005, when the Concept-X and Concept-Sportback concept cars debuted at the Tokyo and Frankfurt motor shows (based on them, the car “in the tenth body” was created).

In 2011, Lancer 10 underwent a minor update, as a result of which it received spot changes in the exterior and interior, as well as improved sound insulation.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is endowed with a smart and very successful appearance, no matter from which angle you look at it. Even at a considerable age, it looks decent and relevant against the background of newer cars.

The front part of the sedan is made in the corporate style of the Mitsubishi brand called “Jet Fighter” (in the style of fighter jets), and the aggression is added to it by the gaping mouth of the radiator grille with chrome edging and predatory squinted optics (it’s a pity that its filling is completely halogen) .

The dynamic “combat” profile of the Japanese three-box is emphasized by a long hood, a strongly sloping front roof pillar and 16-inch “rollers” with 10 spokes (for an additional fee – 17-inch ones).

The rear of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 contains lights made in the same style as the headlights and giving it aggression, a somewhat heavy trunk and an expressive bumper.

An additional note of sportiness can be added to the car's appearance through aerodynamic door sills and a striking rear spoiler, which are available in an extended configuration.

The overall dimensions of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 sedan body fit into the concept of the C-class: 4570 mm in length, 1505 mm in height, 1760 mm in width. The wheelbase of the car is 2635 mm, and the ground clearance is 165 mm. Depending on the modification, the sedan's curb weight varies from 1265 to 1330 kg.

The interior of the “tenth Lancer” looks modern, but nothing special catches the eye. The three-spoke steering wheel is unified with other models of the brand; there is only room for the required minimum of keys. The most stylish looking dashboard is made in the form of two deep “wells” with a 3.5-inch diagonal color display between them, covered with a wave-shaped visor on top.

The center console is made in a classic style; in terms of design, there are no questions about it. A simple radio is integrated into the panel, so it can only be replaced with an original multimedia system. Just below there is an emergency warning button, and even lower there are three rotating knobs and three climate control buttons. Everything is simple and well thought out; you literally can’t find fault with the ergonomics.

The interior of the Lancer 10 sedan is not distinguished by a high level of performance. Firstly, hard and not very pleasant plastic is used entirely, and even in the top variants leather trim is not available, and secondly, everything is not assembled in the best way (you can see gaps between the parts).

The front seats have a good profile, although they could definitely use more bolstering on the sides. The adjustment ranges are sufficient, but nothing more, with plenty of room in all directions. The rear sofa is comfortable for three; passengers will not feel any discomfort in their legs or width, but the low ceiling will put pressure on the heads of tall people.

The trunk of the Japanese sedan is small by the standards of the “golf” class - only 315 liters of usable volume. Its shape is not the best, the opening is narrow, the height is small - in general, large objects will not fit in there. The rear seat back folds flush with the floor, providing opportunities for transporting long items. Under the “plywood” floor there was a place for a full-size spare wheel on a stamped disk.

Specifications. For the Mitsubishi Lancer 10, in 2015, two DOHC four-cylinder petrol engines are available, each of which is equipped with MIVEC electronically controlled valve timing technology and ECI-Multi distributed injection.

• The first is a 1.6-liter unit that produces 117 horsepower and 154 Nm of peak torque (at 4000 rpm). It is offered in tandem with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, and all traction is directed to the front wheels. With such a “heart” under the hood, the sedan accelerates to the first hundred in 10.8-14.1 seconds, reaching a maximum of 180-190 km/h (the best performance in both cases is in the version with manual transmission). Fuel consumption in combined mode varies from 6.1 to 7.1 liters.
• A more powerful 1.8-liter engine generates 140 “horses” and 177 Nm of peak thrust (at 4250 rpm). It is combined either with the same manual transmission or with a continuously variable CVT (front-wheel drive only). With manual transmission, the 140-horsepower Lancer reaches 100 km/h in 10 seconds and a top speed of 202 km/h, while consuming 7.5 liters of gasoline per 100 km in mixed mode. In the case of a CVT, acceleration to the first hundred takes 1.4 seconds longer, and maximum capabilities are lower by 11 km/h (fuel consumption is only 0.3 liters higher).

Previously, the following were also available: a “sluggish” 1.5-liter 109-horsepower (with a “mechanics” it was “nothing”, and with an “automatic” it was simply “nothing” in terms of dynamics); A 2.0-liter 150-horsepower power unit and a “hurricane” 2.0-liter turbocharged 241-horsepower engine.

The “tenth” Mitsubishi Lancer is based on the “global” Project Global platform, which was created jointly by engineers from Mitsubishi and Daimler-Chrysler during the period of their cooperation. The Japanese sedan's arsenal includes the standard set of a modern car: McPherson struts with anti-roll bars at the front, and an independent multi-link suspension at the rear.
The Lancer has disc brakes on all wheels, and the front ones are also ventilated (the front ones have a diameter of 15 inches, the rear ones – 14 inches). The rack and pinion steering mechanism is complemented by a hydraulic booster.

Options and prices. On the Russian market in 2015, the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is offered in four trim levels:

• The basic level of equipment called Inform is offered at a price of 719,000 rubles, and the list of its equipment includes two front airbags, ABS, an on-board computer, power steering, four electric windows, a standard audio system with an AUX connector, as well as steel wheel rims.
• The Invite version is available only with a 117-horsepower engine at a price of 809,990 rubles for a car with a manual transmission or 849,990 rubles with an automatic transmission. This car is equipped with air conditioning, electric drive and heated exterior mirrors, heated front seats and an armrest between the front seats.
• For the Lancer 10 in the Invite + version, they offer the entire range of engines and gearboxes, and they ask for it from 849,990 to 939,990 rubles. The prerogative of this configuration is fog lights, light alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped multi-steering wheel and gearshift lever.
• The top-end Intense solution will cost from 919,990 to 969,990 rubles (depending on the installed engine-transmission combination). In addition to all of the above, this sedan sports aerodynamic door sills, a trunk spoiler, side airbags and a driver's knee airbag.

By the way, 2015 was the last year for the tenth generation Lancer on the Russian market, and in December 2017 its production was discontinued in Japan.

The creation of the Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is a matter of constant improvement and development. The new X was developed in Germany, in Trebur, a design office in Frankfurt. Many years have passed since the appearance of the first generation (1973), the car has gone through many restylings and generations, winning the hearts of millions of car enthusiasts. The main features of the first models are also present in Lancer X. The most striking values ​​that underlie each one are the desire to develop and improve. Since the appearance of the model, the car has become one of the most popular in many countries. Many people choose this car because the price-quality ratio in this model is simply ideal. The emergence of a new generation Mitsubishi Lancer X means a new round of history in Lancer design.

Mitsubishi Lancer X design

An important milestone in the history of the model's development was the new design. The main design element of the front of the car is the stylized logo Mitsubishi Motors company. The upper and lower parts of the radiator grille reflect the future development of the concept of building new Lancer models. The aggressive shark nose has become the hallmark of the new generation Mitsubishi Lancer.

The new one is defined not only by the front end of the body, but also by the sharp air intakes and spoilers on the trunk lid. The low stance and wide tire footprint are elements of the sporty concept that attract many motorists, especially young ones.

Inside the Mitsubishi Lancer X

When creating the interior of the cabin, the designers used only high quality materials and carefully thought through every detail. The interior interior combines comfort and convenience. The front panel is worthy of special attention, because the handles on it are located in such a way that the machine is intuitively easy to operate. The panel itself is presented in a modern style.

Model Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is a new family created on the basis of the Project Global platform. Using a new approach to building cars made it possible to increase the dimensions, size and space inside the cabin, as well as maintain the rigidity of the body, which was in the previous generation. It was created on the same platform. Thanks to this platform, the model has become larger than its predecessors. The car has become longer by 8 cm and wider by 6 cm.

Among competitors, Lancer is one of the favorites in the race for supremacy. The distance between the front seats has also increased (by 25 m), and the upper part of the cabin has also become wider by 51 mm. Despite the fact that the car body has become larger, the turning radius of 5 meters remains the same.

Transmission Lancer X

Motorists have three options to choose from:

• 6-speed CVT transmission;
• 5-speed manual;
• Automatic INVECS-II;

Those who buy a Mitsubishi Lancer X choose between three options: Invite, Invite+ and Instense.

Driving safety in Mitsubishi Lancer X

Special RISE technology, which provides a high level of strength and safety, was also used in the construction of the Lancer X. The body structure is created in such a way that it reliably ensures the safety of the passengers inside. In the event of a side or rear impact, the body distributes the energy and protects the fuel system to avoid fire.

Security package Mitsubishi Lancer X one of the best of its kind. It includes:

• 2 airbags;
• Passenger presence sensors;
• Standard side airbags;
• Overhead airbags;
• Airbag to protect the driver's knees;

Mitsubishi Motors knows how to make rally cars. This fact proves that Lancer Evolution won 4 victories in suspension design. A reliable and durable chassis ensures confident movement on any road, regardless of surface.

For the safety of passengers inside, there is an anti-lock brake system (), which monitors the level of traction of each wheel with the road. Electronic (EBD) perfectly distributes braking forces between the front and rear wheels. Such advances in development allow you to enjoy every moment behind the wheel.

Photos of Mitsubishi Lancer 10

The 10th generation of Mitsubishi Lancer was truly a breakthrough, because the model has few similarities with previous generations, which is very impressive for car enthusiasts.

Mitsubishi Lancer is a compact car from Mitsubishi, and one of the most popular models of the Japanese brand. Lancer has an extensive history, as ten generations of Lancer have already been released. The first generation appeared on the market back in 1973. The model is sold all over the world, but had different names - Chrysler Lancer, Eagle Summit, Galan Fortis, Mitsubishi Mirage and others. Lancer's competitors include Toyota Corolla, Citroen C4, Peugeot 408, Honda Civic and other C-class cars. Since 2007, the 10th generation Lancer has been produced, as well as its charged modification Evolution.

Mitsubishi Lancer owner reviews

Generation 7

• Anatoly, Ekaterinoslavl, 1.3 88 l. With. Lancer is a solid and reliable car, I am 100% happy with it. Of course, the car is not new - it was produced in 1998, with a mileage of 120 thousand km. A very comfortable and compact car for the city, family and work. There is plenty of space in the cabin; two adult passengers can comfortably fit in the back. Trunk volume also doesn't look out of line with its competitors. In principle, everything is fine, except that the suspension is a little stiff on our roads. With the 1.3 engine and manual transmission I get within 7-8 liters per 100 km.
• Konstantin, Moscow region, 1.5 94 l. With. The car is just right for my needs, I’m not particularly picky - I needed a good-quality and reliable transport for every day, even if it was well-maintained. Lancer is optimal in terms of price and quality ratio. I have a 94-horsepower version, it consumes about 8-9 liters with a manual transmission.
• Oleg, Nizhny Novgorod, 1.6 175 l. With. I found a 7th generation Mitsubishi Lancer with a turbocharged engine. Excellent acceleration performance, the first hundred is reached in 7-8 seconds. The old Lancer pleasantly surprised me, and besides, the engine allows you to save on gasoline. In the urban cycle I get a maximum of 12 liters, outside the city it turns out to be 8-9 liters per hundred.
• Karina, Simferopol, 1.8 125 l. With. Cool car, suits me in most respects. Gasoline consumption per 100 km is about 10 liters, I fill it with 92nd gasoline.
• Dmitry, Stavropol region, 1.3 75 l. With. I'm happy with the car, I got the Lancer from my father. By the way, he bought it in the early 2000s on the secondary market. At that time, a bunch of junk cars were brought into the country, but you could choose a copy in good condition. Lancer is one of them, with a current mileage of 177 thousand km. I service the car myself, no problems with repairs. Average consumption is 7-8 liters/100 km. I fill up with 92nd gasoline.

Generation 8

• Alexey, Vorkuta, 1.5. I still use Lancer to this day. A simple and unpretentious car for the city, reliable and practically unbreakable. The suspension is stiff, but that's more of a plus. The car is quite satisfactory, just for my needs - it gives pleasure every day. It handles and brakes well, and reliability is still at a high level. Unfortunately, the Lancer is not very practical in terms of practicality. The trunk is not the most voluminous, and the interior is cramped, especially in the back. I have a 1.5 liter version with a manual transmission. The car was produced in 2003, bought in new condition. Average gasoline consumption per 100 km is 8-9 liters, I fill with 92nd grade gasoline.
• Alexey, Nizhny Novgorod, 1.8. The 2004 car is an easy-to-use car, ideal for everyday driving. At first my father drove it, taught me how to drive and proudly handed me the Lancer. Thus, the Mitsubishi Lancer became my first car. Consumes up to 10 liters per 100 km.
• Dmitry, Irkutsk, 1.5. I have a rather rare Mitsubishi Lancer. The eighth-generation car, with all-wheel drive and a 1.5-liter engine. The car has excellent geometric cross-country ability. If there was more ground clearance, it would be a real SUV. A simple and reliable design, there is nothing superfluous in the interior - all the levers work, as do the electronic systems. The Japanese engineers did their best, great respect to them. Lancer consumes 10-11 liters per 100 km. Probably not very low consumption is associated with all-wheel drive.
• Pavel, Kaliningrad, 2.0. I'm happy with the car, I've had a Mitsubishi Lancer since 2005, equipped with front-wheel drive and a manual transmission. Consumes an average of 9-11 liters per hundred. I drive and have no complaints, very comfortable and reliable. I don’t see the point in buying a ten, an eight suits me quite well.
• Nadezhda, Yaroslavl, 1.5. My all-wheel drive Mitsubishi Lancer has driven 100 thousand km, with no serious breakdowns in 13 years of operation. Overall I like the car. Although I admit that the model is already outdated, and something needs to be done with it. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to sell later. A Lancer with a 1.5-liter engine consumes 8-9 liters of 92 gasoline per hundred.
• Konstantin, Moscow region, 2.0. I have a 2005 Lancer, currently the mileage is 110 thousand km. I travel comfortably, my clients are happy. The ideal option for a taxi is reliable and unpretentious. Good dynamics, the two-liter engine pulls with a bang. Consumes an average of 11 liters per 100 km. The engine works with a manual gearbox, which reveals the full potential of the two-liter engine. By the way, the internal combustion engine supports 92-grade gasoline. Well, at least I upload and don't complain.
• Yulia, Magnitogorsk, 1.5. I got the Lancer from my husband, and he himself switched to a new Toyota Corolla. The car is used only for city trips, consumes 8-9 liters per 100 km, works properly, and is serviced only by dealers.
• Denis, Nikolaev, 2.0. The Lancer is worth the money, I bought it on the secondary market with a mileage of 120 thousand km. Version with a two-liter engine, acceleration to hundreds in 10 seconds. Excellent dynamics, decent handling and brakes. The interior is well made, I praise the high quality of assembly and materials. Everything is done simply and tastefully. I installed a 12-speaker audio system, plus two subwoofers in the trunk. I work as a DJ, Lancer and I kind of complement each other. A Lancer with a 2.0 engine consumes 10 liters per 100 km.

Generation 9

With 1.3 engine

• Konstantin, Peter. Lancer serves me faithfully; I bought it in 2005. A solid and reliable workhorse, the best option for working in a taxi. Time-tested design, good adaptability to Russian climatic conditions. But for the sake of fairness, I will note the stiff suspension, which is not suitable for rough roads. But the Lancer practically does not roll. For a taxi, the version with a 1.3-liter engine that supports 92 gasoline was enough for me. Average fuel consumption is 7-8 liters per hundred.
• Alexander, Lipetsk. Mitsubishi Lancer is the best option in terms of family and other needs. In a word, it’s a universal car, and I don’t care how old it is – I bought a 12-year-old copy in 2017, with a mileage of 98 thousand km. Nothing breaks or creaks. Only original spare parts are available. The 1.3-liter engine consumes 7-9 liters per hundred.
• Oleg, Stavropol region. I'm happy with the car, I have a 2006 Lancer with 163 thousand km mileage. A solid and unpretentious car, it consumes from 7 to 8 liters per 100 km, under the hood is a 1.3-liter 82-horsepower engine.
• Dmitry, Orenburg. A cool car, the right car for family, work, outings and other picnics. The car sets up for dynamic driving - the chassis tuning is simply excellent. Alas, the 1.3-liter engine is not able to reveal its potential. I saved money, as they say, and chose the Dishman package itself. Of course I regret it, although I didn’t really want to overpay. The 1.3-liter's main advantage is fuel efficiency at 8 liters per hundred in the urban cycle.

With 1.6 manual transmission engine

• Oleg, Irkutsk. Cool car, I personally like it in all respects. For example, the Lancer has excellent visibility and behavior on the road, a moderately stiff suspension, a very powerful 1.6-liter engine, and a clear manual transmission. Consumption is from 7 to 10 liters depending on the nature of driving.
• Leonid, Bryansk. I have a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer, I have driven 120 thousand km. During this time, the sedan never failed on a long journey. It is serviced at a dealership, since repair roads are relatively inexpensive. In addition, I note that the spare parts are cheap; in extreme cases, you can look for something during disassembly. The selection of spare parts for the Lancer is simply huge - even more than for the tenth Lancer. In 2006 I bought a version with a 1.6-liter engine - the most popular at that time. Decent dynamics, excellent brakes and handling. In the urban cycle, the car consumes 9 liters per 100 km.
• Mikhail, Ekaterinoslavl. I have a Lancer 2005, it is actively used in the family and in business affairs. I’ll admit right away that I bought the car because of its design and good handling. The car does not attract the attention of others, it looks sporty and discreet. I was pleased with the simple, high-quality interior with ideal ergonomics, a standard radio and efficient air conditioning. The 1.6-liter manual version consumes 9 liters per 100 km.
• Yaroslav, Tambov. Cool car, perfect for my needs. I work part-time as a taxi driver, and at the same time I still have time to deliver courier deliveries. In general, my final working day is 15-16 hours. I spend most of this time driving. The seating is comfortable and spacious, the dynamics and handling are excellent. I recommend Lancer to everyone, take it, you won’t regret it. The version with a 1.6 engine and manual transmission consumes 8-9 liters.
• Margarita, Taganrog. I'm happy with the car, I have a 2004 Lancer, I bought it on the secondary market in March 2017. For a month and a half, the sedan has never broken down, although it is not young. The total mileage is now 110 thousand, the flight is normal. A 1.6-liter manual engine consumes no more than 10 liters during vigorous driving.
• Konstantin, St. Petersburg. A decent car, optimal in terms of the ratio of power, reliability and Japanese quality. Lancer is my first used foreign car, I bought it in 2015. Before that I drove a Peugeot 107. The Lancer is more spacious (of course), handles and brakes better. And most importantly, they finally began to respect me on the roads! The 1.6-liter engine works with mechanics and consumes 8-10 liters/100 km.
• Igor, Saratov. Lancer is a good car, time-tested. Satisfies the needs of both mine and my wife. It steers well, and at the same time is very practical in everyday use. The 1.6 engine with manual transmission consumes up to 10 liters per hundred.
• Konstantin, Minsk. I liked the car, I still drive it, and I work part-time as a taxi driver. A powerful 1.6-liter engine accelerates the Lancer to the first hundred in 10 seconds, the manual transmission reveals 100% of the engine’s potential. In general, the dynamics are impressive; a maximum speed of 200 km/h is not a problem. On the highway you can keep within 7-8 liters. A very spacious interior for four, and the interior itself is designed in a sporty style. Good build quality and fit of parts, nothing to complain about. I’m sure that the Lancer will serve me for another 50-70 thousand km, I don’t see any point in selling it.

With engine 1.6 automatic transmission

• Svetlana, Irkutsk. I’m happy with the car; by the way, I have the option with a 1.6-liter 90-horsepower engine. It's enough for me. In addition, I praise the 4-speed automatic - although it is a little old, it works flawlessly and allows the engine to open up to its full potential. As a last resort, it is possible to transfer the box to manual mode, and then it will fly away altogether. In general, I am a dynamic girl, a kind of extrovert, and Lancer and I complement each other. The car consumes up to 10-11 liters per 100 km.
• Vladislav, Stavropol region. The car was purchased in 2005 with a 1.6-liter engine. I was surprised by the smooth and fast operation of the 4-speed automatic, and overall the car feels good and sets me up for fast driving. Consumes up to 10 liters per 100 km.
• Mikhail, Leningrad region. The car is what I need, it satisfies all my driving needs - excellent visibility, good dynamics on the highway, sharp and clear steering reactions, moderately stiff suspension and smooth operation of the automatic transmission. The 1.6-liter engine consumes up to 11 liters.
• Alexey, Bryansk. I'm happy with the car, I have the 2006 version, the current mileage is for the car. I was pleasantly impressed with the Mitsubishi Lancer; it is still in excellent condition. I didn’t change anything from components and assemblies, except maybe consumables. Consumption is 10 liters with a 1.6 engine and automatic transmission.
• Konstantin, Moscow region. I got the Lancer in maintained condition - the 2006 version, with an archaic automatic 1.6-liter engine. Initially I consumed an average of 10 liters per hundred, which suits me quite well. The interior is not the most spacious in the class, but I don’t have a family, so I won’t find fault. I bought it purely for my needs, I drive comfortably. Very satisfied. I installed body kits, a spoiler, new seats and improved sound insulation. The dynamics have improved a little, acceleration to hundreds is now in 10 seconds, and this is with the old automatic! Consumption remained the same.
• Anatoly, Lipetsk. Lancer completely suits me, it is very reliable and economical in the city and on long trips. Fuel consumption is 10-11 liters. Under the hood is a 1.6-liter engine operating with an automatic transmission.

With 2.0 engine

• Alexander, Sverdlovsk. My Mitsubishi Lancer has traveled 160 thousand km, during which time there have been no major breakdowns. The secret to the reliability of my car is timely maintenance, and only from a branded service using original spare parts. No artisanal methods or other collective farm stuff, this is not a VAZ Shah. I have a two-liter version with an automatic transmission, a powerful and dynamic car for the city and sprinting at traffic lights. Consumes 10-12 liters depending on the nature of the ride.
• Boris, Sakhalin region. I liked the car, huge respect to Lancer for its excellent acceleration and handling. The two-liter engine and manual transmission are an excellent tandem; my sedan is still quite capable of giving a head start to more modern competitors. Acceleration to hundreds in 10 seconds, top speed 220 km/h. Average consumption is only 10 liters.
• Elizaveta, Ekaterinburg. An excellent car for the city and long trips, a workhorse that is needed. I've been driving taxis with Lancer for over 5 years now, and the clients are happy. With the 2.0 engine and automatic transmission I get 11 liters per 100 km.
• Alexey, Almaty. My Lancer with a two-liter engine drove 170 thousand km, and never broke down majorly. It consumes 10-11 liters, I fill it with 95-grade gasoline.
• Maxim, St. Petersburg. I have had Lancer since 2007. It has a simple and unpretentious design, studied to its core. The design of the model, of course, no longer evokes any emotions; from now on the car is associated with classic sedans of the early 2000s, which are easy to tune. But I have a completely original car, with a factory 2-liter engine. It definitely doesn’t need tuning, since the engine confidently pulls at all speeds - it reveals itself both in the low and red zones of the tachometer. Consumes from 10 to 12 liters per 100 km.

Generation 10

With 1.5 engine

• Konstantin, Moscow. I bought a Lancer in 2007 with a 1.5-liter engine. Basic equipment, there are only mechanics and air conditioning, and essentially nothing else. I decided to save money, but then I discovered many shortcomings in this version. Everything is excellent with reliability, but the acceleration capabilities and behavior on the road are not impressive. A 100-horsepower engine, unfortunately, is not enough for the lightest car. In addition, the Lancer doesn’t care about aerodynamics. The Lancer is noisy, the gearbox works well, but this is not enough. There is no point in turning the engine to the red zone, because of this the consumption may increase. For example, I drive mainly at medium speeds, I get 10 liters around the city.
• Dmitry, Nizhny Novgorod region. I have nothing to praise Lancer for. I made the purchase in 2007 and was really looking forward to this car. But then I was disappointed, drove it for six months and exchanged it for a more powerful version with a 2.0 engine. The 1.5-liter was no good at all, and it consumed too much gasoline - at least 10 liters per hundred.
• Maxim, Ekaterinoslavl. I didn't like the car. Well, nothing caught my attention, and that’s all. Sold it after two years of use. The cabin is very noisy at high speeds, there are vibrations all around, a hard and rattling suspension, etc. There are no complaints about reliability, but this is not enough for a car of this level. Consumption in the city is 10 liters.
• Mikhail, Orenburg. The car did not suit me according to any of the stated parameters. I will never buy into marketing and low prices again. The 1.5-liter is still a vegetable, it is not worthy for a seemingly good car. Due to the sluggish dynamics, you have to rev until the red zone, and then the consumption rises to 11 l/100 km. Sold it after a year of use.
• Alexey, St. Petersburg. I'll give Lancer a below average rating. But despite the weak 1.5-liter engine, the car turned out to be quite successful. Yes, there is discomfort. Yes, there is a hard and rattling suspension, noise in the cabin, vibrations all around, etc. But the high reliability of the car outweighs all the shortcomings. For 170 thousand mileage, not a single serious breakdown, I’m not going to sell it.
• Irina, Ekaterinoslavl. A good and reliable car for every day. She sat down and went, as they say. The 1.5-liter engine makes for a quiet ride, which is enough for me. Consumption 10 liters.
• Margarita, Arkhangelsk. Cool car, reliable and economical. I have a basic 1.5-liter manual version, it consumes 9-10 liters.
• Natalya, Ryazan. I liked the car, it’s inexpensive and practical to use, it’s equipped with a 1.5-liter engine with a manual transmission. In the city I use 10 liters, outside the city - 8 liters.
• Oleg, Krasnoyarsk. I have owned a Mitsubishi Lancer since 2007, and have driven 150 thousand km in ten years. The car is reliable, Japanese technology of the highest quality. In this regard, I can give it an A plus. The rest is a complete failure, I really didn’t expect it from such a noble car. The steering wheel is clumsy, there are vibrations all around in the cabin and there is too much noise. There is no point in revving a 1.5-liter engine to high speeds. But I somehow came to terms with the fact that the main thing for me is reliability. Average consumption is 8-10 liters.
• Oleg, Nizhny Novgorod. I purchased a Lancer with a 1.5-liter engine and a manual transmission. The car is not for fast driving, although the sporty design suggests otherwise. All the same, the Japanese were in vain to release the Lancer with such an engine, which spoils the overall impression of a good car. In the urban cycle, consumption is at the level of 10 liters, the manual transmission works well.

With 1.6 engine

• Yaroslav, Tambov. Overall I'm happy with the car. Not the best car, but ideal in terms of endurance and adaptability to Russian conditions. The 1.6-liter engine could be more powerful, accelerating to hundreds in 12 seconds at a stretch. The mechanics work well, but do not save the situation. Average consumption is 10 liters per 100 km. The interior is spacious, the materials and plastics are made of high quality, everything looks stylish and well made, I can’t complain.
• Alexey, Nizhny Novgorod. I bought a Lancer in 2008 with a 1.6-liter engine. Looking at the large rear of the car, at first I thought that the Lancer had a huge trunk compared to its competitors. But in fact it turned out that it was even smaller than in its predecessor. Its volume is only 325 liters - a miserable result, and a big minus for this. I would not have bought it if my wife had not insisted. She just liked the car in all respects. Consumption 10 liters per 100 km.
• Igor, Rostov. I am a big fan of the Mitsubishi Lancer family of cars, I once had a seventh generation Lancer, and since then I have not missed a single generation, so I have something to compare with. I have the tenth Lancer with a 1.6-liter engine and manual transmission, it consumes 10 liters per 100 km. The dynamics are enough for the city, but not for the highway. In this regard, the previous Lancer was preferable.
• Yaroslav, Nizhny Novgorod region. Overall I liked the car, it is equipped with a 1.6-liter engine and manual transmission, the average gasoline consumption per 100 km is 9-10 liters, I fill it with AI-95. Comfortable, reliable and inexpensive transport for the city.
• Mikhail, Taganrog. Overall I’m happy with the car, if only it had a more powerful engine and everything would be perfect. I installed a new Shumka and now the cabin is quiet. I somehow came to terms with the stiff suspension. Handling is good, as are the brakes. The 1.6-liter engine consumes 10 liters per 100 km.
• Pavel, Moscow region. Lancer 10 did not surprise me at all, the car is like a car. Not the fastest, but inexpensive to maintain. In addition, it does not require frequent visits to the service. With a 1.6 engine and manual transmission I fit in 9-10 liters.
• Vasily, Petrozavodsk. Lancer 10 is an ideal car in terms of cost and quality. I wanted a bigger car for less money. I think I made the right choice. Lancer has a lot of disadvantages, but there are many more advantages. For example, this is great handling. The 1.6-liter consumes 9-10 liters during vigorous driving.
• Nikolay, Tula region. I liked the car, I praise the car for its reliability and inexpensive spare parts. Stiff suspension, noisy interior - it will need to be improved. In the city I fit in 10 liters with a 1.6 engine.
• Vladislav, Bryansk. I only praise the Lancer 10 for its stylish appearance. With its compact size, the Lancer looks larger than it actually is. The car is already outdated, and this must be admitted. I drove 130 thousand km, and during this time the Lancer convinced me even more of its Japanese quality. And the noisy interior, hard suspension, vibrations, etc. are all nitpicking. Consumption is 10 liters per hundred.
• Nikolay, Yaroslavl. I got the 10th generation Mitsubishi Lancer from my relatives. I would never buy a new one like this. And if for free, then of course with pleasure. A small trunk, a stiff suspension, a modest 1.6-liter engine and poor rear visibility - there are plenty of disadvantages. But reliability is at its best, and that decides everything. Consumption in the city is 10 liters.

With 1.8 engine

• Lyudmila, Pyatigorsk. I have a Lancer 10 with a 1.8-liter engine. The car has good dynamics, the 140-horsepower engine is fully developed. In addition, a clear manual transmission also contributes to acceleration. The car consumes 10 liters in the urban cycle, outside the city I use 7-8 liters. With vigorous driving, you can keep within 11 liters. When driving at high speeds, consumption reaches up to 12 liters per 100 km. Acceleration to hundreds takes only 10 seconds, this is an excellent indicator compared to competitors.
• Maxim, Magnitogorsk. Cool car with a great name. I recognize Lancer, the car is many times better than its predecessor. A dynamic and moderately comfortable car, as far as possible for a sports “lighter”. Handling is beyond praise; the Lancer steers confidently even on a winding road. Exchange rate stability is also at the highest level. The car seems to give me a second youth, and I feel 20 years younger. With the 1.8 engine and manual transmission I get around 10-11 liters per 100 km.
• Nikolay, Kaliningrad. Decent car, worth the money spent. I didn’t regret a penny that I overpaid for the more top-end 1.8-liter version. I needed dynamics and good handling, and comfort is a secondary thing for me. In the city, consumption is 10-11 liters.
• Mikhail, Moscow. Mitsubishi Lancer, one of the most affordable sports cars, took the 1.8-liter manual version. I'm happy with the purchase, 100% satisfied. Consumes no more than 11-12 liters per hundred.
• Karina, Simferopol. The car is what you need, ideal for city trips. It handles well and barely rolls; I also praise the well-tuned brakes. A 1.8 liter engine with manual transmission consumes from 10 to 11 liters.
• Pavel, Stavropol region. A cool car for every day, I get a storm of emotions from driving this car. The Lancer is not very good at practicality, but the dynamics and handling are at a decent level. The 1.8-liter engine consumes up to 12 l/100 km if you drive at consistently high speeds.
