We were a little mixed on the front seat comfort of the Lancer. Some of us thought the bottom cushion was poorly positioned, while others thought that the front seat was very well done. Regardless, there were no complaints about the soft faux-suede cloth on the seats, door and center armrests. We would have liked soft-touch surfaces on the door tops, but that’s increasingly rare in this budget-conscious segment. Everything is within reach, too, such as the protruding navigation system, shift handle and shifter paddles that are long enough to click at all but the most extreme steering angles.
