Well I have been cruising around for the past couple of weeks in the Lancer and thought I'd share my thoughts... I am just as impressed with my car as when I bought it. It is a great all around car. Performance wise it is completely adequate accelerating when I want it to like I want it to. When not using the manual mode it is a little anemic but I have found that this is where the manual mode has it's true merit kicking the car off to a fast start when needed. Having gone in just wanting a four door that had enough trunk space for my golf clubs. This car has turned out to be very practical fitting five rather comfortably and also being fairly economical getting 21/28 mpg. Of course the techno toys are a very nice touch. I use the nav and the bluetooth a lot. The sounds from the Rockford Fosgate system are great and while I have yet to find a need to watch a movie in the car I have had the temptation to hook my Xbox up to the system's AV auxilary port. All in all for the price it is a great all around car that is both great aesthetically and in it's performance on the road. The only thing I find myself wanting is the real ipod adapter so I could control my sounds.
