Summary
What does this car say about you?
People think it's cool, because it's a Lancer... but they quickly realise that the image is totally unlike the vehicle itself.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think it's ok. But prefer what they have.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. The interior and everything else about it appart from the exterior styling is just too boring. It feels a generation behind similar cars in terms of it's overall quality. I doubt it would ever let us down but the car just doesn't make you feel special.
What are you likely to buy next?

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It does everything well, but nothing exceptionally. The steering is heavier then we are used to but it is responsive enough. The ride is fine and it handles ok... but it in no way excites.
What's it like to park?
Ok, small enough to park ok but the odd hatchback rear leaves you a little unsure as to the cars true dimensions when reversing.

No, so far it seems bulletproof.

The spaceous interior.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The bluetooth mobile phone connectivity.
