2017 Mitsubishi Lancer SEL AWD Test Drive Video Review

[@alish6356]

i had a 2008 lancer evolution until few months ago. 10 years it lasted without any major issues and i drove the shit out of it. never seen a car with such good build quality .

[@toninocars]

10 years old and still looks a decent car inside out. There are many "modern" cars out there but they are mostly uncomfortable rubbish full of stupid futures that will never anyone use them, this is a classic small sedan 🚘

[@phodacbitch]

I liked it before the refresh. This looks like a stupid inbred fish.

[@chrishuber8930]

SCIENCEoverRELIGIONS its not the worst

[@oreocakester4307]

It actually got a refresh in 2016 or 2017

[@onenightstan3635]

I love my seL. I also added LED headlights LID side markers and duckbill spoiler led interior lights. looks great

[@snuggly-panda8890]

Do you have a picture

[@djkenny1202]

8 Seconds is plenty fast. Jesus. Are we all Racing? People drive too fast on American roads, anyway. This car is often discounted from 16 grand in SE 2.4 liter form. That is way cheaper than a mid range Impreza, and about the same as the smaller 4 cyl engine model in base form (which is far less responsive). These are a great deal. Been around a while, little changes, but they were good enough to stay the same.

[@hiawa23]

I have the 2.4L AWC SE 2017 model and love it..

[@lordwiadro83]

It's the only affordable car that doesn't look goofy. All the rest look like a frog on wheels.

[@chrishuber8930]

Mikolaj F. Are you kidding

[@asap_tenzo]

Agreed 🙌🏻

[@JonChenTS13]

Really wish they don't discontinue this car. I hope to buy one of these for college

[@SweetDennyD]

Outdated as it may appear, I still like this car. I am currently driving one as a loaner while my car is being serviced at the Mitsubishi dealer. My loaner has the 2.0 with the CVT and although I would never expect to win any acceleration contests with many other cars, this one is what I would accept as adequate. It will get out of its own way if needed. Handling is more agile than I expected as is the lack of noise from the engine compartment. The highlight for me is the Rockford Fosgate sound system that simply kicks ass! Are there better or worse vehicles out there? For sure. For the money, this car has a lot of value for what you pay for. Sad that Mitsubishi has dropped the ball by discontinuing it and improving on a model that is not nearly as bad as the critics say. Drive one yourself and draw your own conclusions.

[@neverendingmods]

I like my 2017 lancer SEL W/ remote start, AWD, 9 speaker stereo, heated seats and outside mirrors, auto dimming rearview mirror, sunroof, back up camera, perfect Bluetooth, leather, 4whl disc brakes, 18" rims, auto on headlights, rain sensing wipers, climate control, folding rear seats, and independent rear suspension. Independent rear suspension and 4whl disc brakes corolla doesn't have still. So what else for $21500 can you buy with all this that handles decently?

[@jacobreed47]

neverendingmods You made a bad choice buying a new Lancer. even if its loaded. its full of cheap parts, low tech, poor design, weak engine, sad CVT, 90s, seat heater switches, old yellow halogen headlights, no new repair parts after 2 years. etc...etc..etc... answer your question- Hyundai Elantra is cheaper with lots more tech, better powertrain, overall a better vehicle.

[@neverendingmods]

Acuravigor47 Hyundai charges $4400 for HID headlights. I added the best hyluxtec ballasts you can buy for 80 + 20 hid bulbs for total of $100. Both have 100k mile warranty and only lancer has AWD. I had owned an Elantra before. Tons of problems even during warranty period. I've owned many NEW cars and motorcycles. I'm 42, not 22 yrs old. And no repair parts for a Mitsubishi Lancer...lol Many components shared with Outlander sport.

[@autobytel]

neverendingmods the LANCER is a great choice. PLus you have a 100k mile warranty.

[@gabrieljimenez12]

no thanks, www.hyundaiproblems.com/trends/theta-ii-engine/

[@chrishuber8930]

Gabriel Jimenez the theta 2 isnt on the elantra. Only on the sonata. And its very limited. I had a sonata turbo and it had zero issues.

[@jebbo1]

Yea the Lancer will live on in China and other markets as the "Grand Lancer". The Grand Lancer has a decent interior refresh. I personally don't think the exterior looks bad at all. If it only had a decent powertrain..

[@kmckenzie2461]

Very impressive review. Thank you! I actually looked at one when I traded my 2015 Mirage ES with Navigation but I decided to go with the 2017 Mirage G4 SE because of the MPG, Price, Features, Wine Red Color and Light Gray Interior, Larger Rear Seat Than The Lancer and Apple Carplay. But overall I like the Lancer and it is proven to be very Reliable and was voted the most Reliable car over how many years of all cars! Thank you the honest review so that people wanting this car can see a decent review instead of bashing it.

[@Pokemonguy16RS]

Honestly, they killed it with the new front end and with the rearview camera mounted ONTO the trunk!! It doesn't look very aggressive...honestly, the 2015 Evo's and the lancers were the last true Mitsubishi lancers/Evo's.

[@rx7guy21]

"This is so cool!" -me circa 2009...

[@sanashy9024]

This is my dream car.

[@gibco25-offical56]

I have one. if you ever buy one, you will like it.

[@graham-jefferson]

Unbelievably outdated but I can't help but kind of like these because they're really cheap, offer AWD and I think the design has aged well (probably because we don't have an all new version to compare).

[@protogenxl]

And the Lancer Line ends in 2017 with a whimper of the CVT........

[@Pond6]

i heard the basic AWD lancers werent great in the snow. glad you review this even further to say it is actually great

[@AbsoluteMdot]

I use to have a 97 eclipse which I loved to death it was so reliable. I got rid of it recently and currently have a Honda CRV SE. The CRV is nice but boring. I'm looking to get another Mitsubishi again.

[@MrMegatron85]

great review. keep em coming

[@Trades46]

An actual living dinosaur. Thank God this car finally is put to pasture by the end of this year. Sadly Mitsubishi has no plans to introduce a new Lancer, so RIP Mitsubishi.

[@MrRhaegar8]

This thing is archaic. Does Mitsubishi have plans for a Lancer replacement?

[@tuanh_duong]

Winter is Coming Production for the Lancer is going to end soon as it was confirmed by Mitsubishi.

[@msndotnet01]

They probably gonna bring it back as a fokin SUV

[@MrRhaegar8]

Last I heard the next evo is going to be a high performance/hybrid CUV so I wouldn't be surprised.

[@tuanh_duong]

Winter is Coming & D Doge Well they are already bringing back the Eclipse.

[@265308]

Tuanh Duong: where u get this info from cos all recall was that they were gonna do a new generation/new design lancer to coincide with some nissan versa or other model crossover thing of my gig. btw is the new eclipse cross mini suv gonna be turbo option?

[@madjid0235]

i like this car

[@IPLAET7]

Love Mitsubishi

[@deseremere]

Very decent price for 168 hp all wheel drive, SEL is a little bit over 20K these days. Yeah it is not 2018 Accord but not much different from Subaru Legacy if you want 4wd and are OK with a bit smaller size.

[@Trohawkk]

For the price, its not bad you buncha complainers haha

[@EnsoLLC]

This is better than the Impreza? I cant choose I just need a good all wheel drive around 20K

[@Ronownaccordcf4]

Hello I have Question on on Mitsubishhi Lancer from 2007 and up are they cambelt or chain driven please i am new to mitsubishi cars and is anyone of them is just automatic?

[@karlo134652]

If only they continued making AWD sedan . Maybe this couldve save them. :(

[@DeadlyPants1404]

Dan How do i Pimp my ride?

[@firefly1448]

Is it AWD on the lancer or 4x4 because u can turn it on and off

[@TriggaC74]

It’s AWC. All Wheel Control. When it’s on, it’s always working. At any speed. But you can turn it off for better MPG in FWD mode.

[@moomoopuppy5810]

So the Evo doesn't exist anymore or what? Will Mitsubishi just get a lancer and turn it into an Evo by bolting on parts?

[@REGGIEEVERREADY]

Moo Moo Puppy 2015 is the last year run for the evo in North America

[@lfsracer79]

2:18 20-50 mph takes 6 seconds?

[@toyota420xp]

23/30 mpg is kind of crap considering its worse than a much larger subaru outback

[@ireneretter1952]

My love is for en Audi A6 white Bcars/ luxauto

[@porjo01]

River Rd!!!

[@jonathankeith524]

This car would be better with a six-speed manual. 0-60 in eight seconds?? My car is 22 years old, and it's still much faster than that. I like the design of this car though. If it was a bit quicker I wouldn't mind getting one.

[@danwang5044]

Guess he forgot about the Subaru Legacy.....

[@Breaker197]

Dan Wang similar, and a great car, but not the same market segment

[@bmay669]

Is this even a good reliable car?

[@dr.bonscott3962]

I've had no issues at all yet. (Knock on wood) Currently at 109k miles

[@Younggqueen204]

@@dr.bonscott3962how is it so far? I bought one at 122 miles

[@DripExplains]

No ridiculous spoiler?

[@UltraGoki]

ForeignBorn Patriot I loved the spoiler the car looks weird now

[@yasserbadreldin2058]

sorry for the future of this car

[@cooking4times]

This guy discredits Autobytel. Where did you get him? Did he used to work at Walmart cleaning the floors? What a horrible review.

[@mpgomatic]

I'm from New Jersey and have never been in a Walmart. How about you?

[@autobytel]

Dan ROCKS! His videos have millions of views.

[@hwangmiyeon1001]

Rude.

[@TinLeadHammer]

What exactly you did not like? Seems quite fair to me.

[@amaluddinsalihinmuhd]

Why did you waste your precious time here? 😝

[@tomoquads3975]

soooo outdated

[@napeterc]

That interior is so shit
