What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer

2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
These seats desperately need more lumbar support. They're okay in short distances, but I really want the Recaros from the Evo a few hours in. Stronger side bolsters would be nice for hoon duty, too. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review

2007 4dr Sedan 161-horsepower 2.4L I4

Spacious enough to allow my 84 year old mother to get in and out without injuring herself! see full Kia Optima review

After driving the Optima for five days straight for 10+ hours per day, other than the occasional stop, on a road trip, not one time did I get a sore back or thighs. see full Kia Optima review
