My husband wished to present me a new car on our anniversary. Good looks, mileage, performance, etc were his
criterion for a new car. He went to showrooms of different cars but was very much impressed by the description and
features of Lancer. So he finally decided to gift me a Lancer. Lancer has a wonderful combination of superior
exterior, interior, and luxurious features in combination with advanced safety add-ons and proven performance.
It is easy and smooth to drive and also possess mobile phone pocket which was a new feature provided in the car when
it was introduced.
In all, the Lancer is a good car, but there are others equally good and better that are available at the same price.
The Lancer was initially launched as the ultimate luxury car of the country, however, the HM association does not sound taking the Lancer forward but a bit backward into time with the launch of newer competition. Those of you who watch the car spectrum will agree with me that the car seems to have lagged behind in design and other features.
I purchased the car a few months ago, but I admit I did not shop around too much. There are many options available now, but I paid too much for the standard grills, and average looking interiors. Just to say that it is a conventional sedan with conventional looks.
The average looking Lancer can be transformed into a jazzy sedan with after market products, but I already paid too much to get my Lancer that the after market stuff did not sound great enough.
However, if the design is outdated, does not mean that the quality is bad. The quality of the interiors is good, many features should be improved like the design of the seats and the looks of the instrument panel. Also Lancer should sport high end electronics and increase comfort for rear seating.
There are many other features that are great also. The petrol engine is great along with power distributed fairly across all rpms. The in dash CD is good enough, you can listen to your fav beats without any problems.
Yet if you have any problems with the Lancer, there are other models that you can inspect before you pour your money on this. So, also check out the City and the Elantra. All in all, the Lancer is a good car, but there are others equally good and better that are available at the same price.
