2010 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS: Regular Car Reviews

Stef's Mitsubishi Lancer GTS was terrifying around a track because it felt like a regular car about to have a regular crash.

“Mitsubishi, the Chrysler of Japan”
Amazing

"The official car of your ex girlfriend's ex boyfriend." Is basically the most accurate statement I have ever heard.

[hypergarage]

Mitsubishi is the best example of wasted potential

Mr. Regular driving this car kind of reminds me of Top Gear putting celebrities in a reasonably priced car.

Also fudgeman.

remember when lancer and wrx owners had pissing contests?

I miss the simple times

Hopefully your story about school is true. If it is, I will have to thank you for being a wonderful English student in college. I had been struggling to make Bs in AP English (language & literature) and your stories would constantly help me reference back to stories or understand them better. I just hope you got to know that your content is greatly enjoyable and your storytelling skills are wonderful and were immensely useful to me.

Steph is the perfect demographic for this car. If a guy owned it, he would definitely vape.

I've never heard such a compelling psychosocial breakdown as to why someone would struggle to learn to drive fast on a track - that it challenges the very core of the personality they strived to construct in their youth.

Compelling stuff as always.

Having an existential moment taking a compact car around the track while floating on a cushion of your own ASS SWEAT.

"Mitsubishi, the Chrysler of Japan." That got a good laugh out of me.

My mom (who's Japanese) told me that in Japan people don't like Mitsubishi cars and she cites a major scandal where Mitsubishi failed to recall a bunch of defective vehicles and deliberately tried to cover up any and all faults. This case would lead to the arrest of the president and many high-level executives of the company.

However, if that were true, where's the stock 700Hp Evo Hellcat?

Never drove an FWD just a wee bit hard? You get on the gas to go straight, and let off to bring the ass-end around on a tight corner. No loose gravel or potholes on the track to send you veering to your doom and flipping like street racers and not much else to do because it's auto. I think that's why she was giving you a hard time with that one.

I loved my '10 Lancer GTS when it was my daily driver. It was the first car I owned that didn't complain angrily when it hit 100 mph, and accelerated surprisingly well and efficiently once it hit 60 mph. Beware hitting any uneven track going faster than 90 mph, however, as the car will want to launch itself into orbit.

Why do these cars get such bad press? A good friend of mine has a Lancer 2.4L-2.5L??? with a manual trans and it is a hoot to throw around back roads and parking lots. When the rest of the group are building big single B5S4's, supercharged M3's or playing with liter bikes here is our friend. With his Lancer. Unashamedly content, honest and squeezing the most out of a fun honest to goodness car. When the rest of us are trying to hunt down wiring issues or boost leaks its the Lancer that we take for the 1 am run for Korean bbq and beer. The lancer has a special place in my heart for a reason. Its unashamed of what it is.

I got an 08 Lancer I love it to death!

The car looks angry no matter where you look at it from.
The headlights are glaring at you.
The taillights are glaring at you.
The angles and curves are aggressive!

Wouldn't call it a fast car, but I find mine handles better then any other car I've own or drove and "tested"

Mr Regular gets insulted by a hot girl

Remember when Mitsubishi made awesome sports cars?

I have a 2010 Lancer GTS Sportback in "rally red". I like it a lot. Most dependable car I've ever owned. After nine years I haven't had it in the shop for anything other than regular maintenance. The paint is holding up OK, the interior looks almost as good as when it was new. Its nice to have a simple car that just runs without drama. Plus it looks good for its age. It was probably the nicest looking compact in 2010 and its holding up really well now. It doesn't look like a ten year old car. Yeah, I'm totally happy with my purchase and plan on keeping it a couple more years. You notice the mileage in this video? Close to 150K and the car still looks good. That's the way they are.

That whole "good boy" talk got too real for me. Going through that in college is a good way to destroy any self esteem you have left.

“The Chrysler of Japan” is a perfect description, though I would also apply that to Nissan.
