Here is a full review covering the key aspects of the Lancer.
Options generally included a 1.6L, 2.0L, or 2.4L naturally aspirated engine. The 2.0L is adequate for daily driving, while the 2.4L (found in ES Sport/VRX) provides better acceleration.
The Lancer is known for good, responsive steering and a stable, sporty feel. Noise: A common complaint is excessive tire and road noise. 2. Reliability and Maintenance
The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is efficient for fuel economy but can be "droning" and slow, while the manual 5-speed offers a more engaging experience.
