Mitsubishi Lancer Estate (2005 - 2008) 2.0 Sport 5d (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That I'm a little broke at the moment but can still find something that's fun and reliable.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They like it. The interior on this one is very nice and everyone whose had a lift has commented on it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I guess I would. I would appreciate lower fuel consumption and road tax but then my depreciation bill will be next to nothing so I'm still better off.

What are you likely to buy next?

Anything Japanese. I'm fed up with Euro-cars that spend their life in the garage.

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,700

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, clean straight, 5 year old car, with below average mileage for a couple of grand less than the equivalent Focus or Civic.

I bought the car with my head not my heart for the first time ever.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

It's a big engine in a light car so it's quite fun. Sports suspension means it holds the road well too although the ride is very hard.

It's a small square box so very easy. This one has got parking sensors too.

Have you had any problems with the car?

no - and it feels like it never will. Five years old and no rattles

It's an estate
