Vehicle advice for parents and their teenage drivers
2009 Mitsubishi Lancer
Some may be surprised to learn that, yes, Mitsubishi is still selling cars in the U.S., and no, not just the high-strung Evolution model. Truth be told, the Lancer, on which the Evo is based, is a competent little sedan deserving consideration right along with the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, possibly more so when you consider its 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and roadside assistance plan that spans five years, with no mileage restriction. There are four Mitsubishi Lancer models with starting prices under $20,000: Lancer DE, Lancer ES, Lancer ES Sport, and Lancer GTS. The GTS is considered especially appealing with its sport suspension, 168-horsepower engine, and hands-free Bluetooth compatibility.
