| Road Test |
The Lancer is Mitsubishi’s smallest sedan and lowest-priced car in the U.S. lineup. The automaker is selling the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer not as an economy car but as a "compact sport sedan," and its appearance and equipment--especially for the top GTS model--take a decidedly sporty direction. The high-performance Evolution model is based on the Lancer, but it’s covered in a separate review.
