I would recommend this car on several different levels if you have a family it is a four-door sedan that still has the sporty body and pep that you would expect from a coup while being versatile for a family . This is the second lancer that I have owned and I know during collisions the cab holds together very well...totaled my previous one with multiple rolls and walked out of it. Gas mileage is on the higher end of acceptable if you're even with reason one tank can get over 400 miles . This car can just as quick go off road as it can be used every day in city traffic and drives exceptionally during a rain and other inclement weather .
Overall the car is a blast. Comfortable to drive and very sporty. It is average when your just cruising then when you hit the gas pedal it let's loose. It is very fun to drive fits my family and when I feel the need to just pick up speed it does it flawlessly.
Haven't replaced brakes yet since purchase new in 2010 labor day. Low cost of maintenance overall, but many owners forget about the CVT Transmission fluid servicing every 50k miles. Not the best for long distance drives, but for a daily work commute it gets the job done well. Also, I love the handling in this car and how it handles the elements very well.
