2005 Lancer Review Summary & Specifications

Mitsubishi Lancer's size positions it at the center of a crowded field of compacts that includes Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic, Subaru Impreza, Ford Focus, Nissan Sentra, Mazda 3, and Dodge Neon. Competitively, Lancer has the longest body and its extended wheelbase produces a spacious passenger compartment with best-in-class front-seat legroom.
