Mitsubishi Lancer EX GT 2.0 MIVEC 6CVT Review: Instant makeover

What we like:

Good looks for a "family sedan". Available Rockford Fosgate audio.  Those lovely magnesium paddles.

What we dislike:

Nose-heavy. Engine could use more refinement.  And where did those ponies go?

The Lancer EX GT looks nothing like your typical family saloon. In fact, it’s hard to imagine a stereotypical middle-aged couple with their two kids in this car. It looks…too young for them.

Yuppies who can’t pry themselves away from their aspirations of a more expensive dream ride are missing out on this car. It has excellent ride despite having bigger rims, a well-built interior with cool sound system and that awesome pair of magnesium paddles which make you feel like you’re driving something more exotic.

If you want the practicality of a family saloon without the “safe & conservative” look, then the Lancer EX GT is just the car for you.
