What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Mitsubishi Lancer
| Price of the Mitsubishi Lancer: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | Was a little higher than I wanted but got the Price to where I could go new rather than used. Payments at $200 mo. |
| 2010 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | Thousands less than other cars I looked at with comparable features. Was interested in a car with paddle shifting. Looked at Acura TSX, Lexus IS 250, Mazda 6 and others. Got car for under dealer invoice. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | Good price for gts with navi 23800 sticker payed 21000 less 1000 rebate |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | Good, got it for 2.5k under MSRP. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 152-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD | I paid $19,500 for a fully loaded Lancer GTS - easily beating what that could have cost me in a fully-loaded Civic (with less features). |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 120-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD | It had 0% for 5 years and I liked that. |
| Price of the Mitsubishi Lancer: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 152-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD | At the time Aug. 2009 I paid out the door $30,500 canadian, no flexibility in price negotiations but to be fair it was new to Canada. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 291hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual AWD | Nothing, but would of bought instead if I knew they were going to offer 0% financing a month later. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Honda Pilot
| Price of the Honda Pilot: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | I was able to negotiate a very reasonable price on this pilot. This made the payments very reasonable compared to many comperable SUVs. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | with the knee jerk reaction against SUVs in US made many SUVs affordable. Pilot was unfairly clubbed clubbed with all the gas guzzlers and that made some very good deals possible. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | I paid about $2,000.00 less for the Pilot than a comparably equipped Highlander. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | WE BOUGHT IT USED AND GOT A GREAT DEAL. |
| Price of the Honda Pilot: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | How it is so much more expensive than in the US |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD | Next size up from Rav4/CRV in Honda lineup and was considerably more expensive than Toyota Highlander. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Too high; not worth the money. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | High price |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD | Too high. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | PILOT WAS 10K MORE |

What Our Members Are Saying about Mitsubishi Lancer Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Mitsubishi Lancer: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 152-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
It feels like a solid car. I have only had one thing wrong with it, and that was the fuel pump getting stuck. It was replaced under warranty though. |
| Materials and Workmanship of the Mitsubishi Lancer: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr Hatch 148-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Its rattles have rattles. And those rattles have buzzes. It sounds like the interior is going to self destruct under low RPM. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
the plastic trim pieces around the doors and the arm rest area look and feel cheap but then again the car is pretty cheap to start with. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
Well that is the same thing as relibility |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 291hp 2.0L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
Not bad, better than my last Dodge but could be better still. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
All the materials of high quality, much better than any competitors that we looked at. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD |
Typical Honda build where things fit like they should: small or no gaps, controls well engineered, you get quality usually found a notch or two higher in cost class. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 w/DoD 5-speed automatic FWD |
The ones that have been on the road in the rust belt appear good after several years. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 244-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
it is build very well well engineered ... very inexpensive to maint. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Front seating is excellent Middle seatting is excellent |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 255-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
This is the most luxurious family vehicle we have had - leather seats. Very nice inside. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
no gaps in interier, squeek free and all interior pannels hold up to childern abuse |

Fantastic build quality. |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Just way too many creeks and rattles. Everything shakes and shimmies. I went through the car wash and the rear hatch filled up with water and had to be drained. The weather stripping and plastic body pieces between front window and hood are horrid. |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Very plastic, large dash. could have used some aluminum. Not up to snuff for Hondas most expensive vechical ( Touring) |
| 2004 | 0 | We love our Honda pilot but after having it out in the rain and getting a large puddle of water at your feet from poor workmanship and sealing. We will not be buying another Honda because the dealers refuse to rectify the faulty workmanship. Hundreds of other people have the same issue as seen on all message boards on this problem. All it would take is for honda to take the fender off and seal seams and holes left open in assembly. I plan to do it myself because they want to charge you 300 for repair. Should have been a recall on this issue due to the fact mold and mildew can build up and cause medical issues down the road if left too long. And for the amount of people with this same issue. |
