The Mitsubishi Lancer represents a broad range of compact four-door sedans, starting with the affordable Lancer ES and progressing to something just short of a full-blown rally car, with models in between that are both affordable and sporty at the same time.All Lancers are roomy, four-door sedans with seats that are comfortable and sporty. The best value, most sensible and most popular model is the Lancer ES, a pleasant sedan with a smooth ride, good handling, and a comfortable, nicely trimmed interior. The Lancer O-Z Rally adds sports appeal to this basic package while still remaining sensible. The Ralliart package turns the Lancer into a true sport compact with its more powerful 2.4-liter MIVEC engine and sports suspension. It's a lot of fun to drive. The Lancer Evolution is another animal, a four-wheel-drive turbocharged homologation special based on Mitsubishi's successful World Rally Championship cars. It's one of the hottest cars on the street, particularly on bumpy surfaces or anything that offers less than ideal traction. New for 2005 is an Evo MR named after the home-market club racing sedan Mitsubishi introduced in 1970.
