This is my 2003 Lancer ES. I traded it in for my 2008 Lancer
This car is fun to drive. It has reasonble trunk space to have a huge subbwoofer box and amplifier and still fit a schoolbag and whatever else you might need to put in there. I found the back suspension to be a bit stiff, even friends with no knowledge on cars would even comment about how stiff it was.
the interior trim was plain looking but it was solid and wouldnt rattle like other cars. The gearbox was defective when it was cold the gear lever would always slip back into neutral also the clutch had no feel to it so if ur not good at driving stick and want a car like this one buy the automatic. Fuel consumption is poor if u drive this car hard.
One thing i did not like was that the oil light had started to blink at lower rpms, like 800 and 900 rpm. this usealy meens that you have internel damage to the engine but not in this car, it meens that ur sensor is dirty. simple fix , That takes 2 seconds
