Auto Express Car Reviews Text: David Ross / Photos: Matt Vosper March 2008 Rating: Living in the sha­dow of a more successful brother is not much fun – as racing driver Ralf Schumacher knows. The previous Mitsubishi Lancer suffered a similar problem. While the turbocharged four-wheel-drive Evo variant enjoyed a fanatical following, the standard car faded into the background. However, the Japanese firm plans to change that by ensuring its latest Lancer has a closer association with the more powerful flagship. That is immediately apparent from the newcomer’s looks – there’s much more cohesion between the two variants. The Lancer shares the aggressive styling of its illustrious stablemate, and many of the sporty details, too. All models come with stylish alloy wheels and a rear spoiler, along with the distinct­ive grille. We drove the four-door sal­oon version, although a five-door hatch – badged the Sportback – will also be available from the summer. This will form the basis for a 240bhp Ralliart hot hatch special edition due later in the year. Until then, engine choices comprise a 1.8-litre petrol and a Volkswagen-sourced 2.0-litre diesel – and it’s the latter which really impresses. The same unit is used in Mitsu­bishi’s Grandis and Outlander, so it’s not the newest engine around. But it packs a strong punch and gives the Lancer decent pace. Due to excellent noise insulation, it’s quiet on the move and the usual bugbears about diesel clatter and a lack of refinement aren’t applicable here. The oil-burner is mated to a six-speed transmission that’s great to use, thanks to a short and positive shift. It’s not the same gearbox as in the Evo, which gets a five-speed unit, but it’s every bit as slick. Engineers have clearly tried hard to give the Lancer a sporty feel from behind the wheel, and the results are impressive. On twisting B-roads, the well balanced chassis and agile nature make it fun. It’s sure-footed, and there’s plenty of grip, while body roll is kept in check through the bends. The trade-off is a rather firm ride, although it’s far from crashy, and deals with rough surfaces competently enough. Big improvements have been made to the cabin. Build quality is good, if not quite up to class-leading stan­dards, while the controls are simple, attrac­tive and well organised. There’s decent room inside, especially for rear passengers. But what will really appeal are the competitive prices and generous equipment. When the five-door model arrives, it will start at £12,499 for the 1.5, while the diesel costs from £15,499. RIVAL: Volvo S40 2.0D This was one of the cars that Mitsubishi used as a benchmark for its new model. The S40 has the edge on quality, but can’t compete with the Lancer’s generous kit.

As well as being a great family car, it shares the same strong styling and keen dynamics of its high-performance brother, and the economical 2.0-litre diesel engine adds to the appeal. The Mitsubishi is a big improvement over its predecessor, and offers a genuine, interesting alternative to mainstream family cars.

And it’s a pity because the diesel in particular is worth a closer look – and no we’re not kidding. The Lancer’s new platform, shared with the Outlander and co-developed with the former DaimlerChrysler corporation is well engineered, the standard kit is impressive and the styling has gone from oh dear to oh my! It’s a handsome car – and potential buyers will be seduced by its looks – but the (non-Evo) Lancer has the unenviable job of erasing memories of the previous-generation car, surely the most dreary vehicle since, well, ever. That’s a tough job. Can the new Mitsubishi Lancer really score some new fans? Well, first impressions are good. Out goes the old Lancer’s almost laughably harsh interior plastics and in comes some fine, soft-touch materials. Push and prod the new dash and there’s a pleasing tactile quality unheard of on any Mitsubishi thus far. The touch-screen HDD sat-nav is excellent (standard on the GS4) and the controls feel solid and weighty – but not up to Civic / Focus standards. It’s a fine interior, if aesthetically unspectacular. Standard kit on the GS4 model includes a 30GB music server, heated leather seats, climate control, iPod input and an on-board computer that allows the driver to personalise interior light delays, wing mirror retraction and wiper operation. IT geeks will love it.

Request Brochure Test Drive Best Deals I guess I approached the new Lancer range from the wrong angle. The first car I drove was a 1.8-litre petrol with the CVT transmission (see road test ) and my conclusion was that it was very far from being the sports saloon that its Evo-inspired looks suggested. More recent experience suggests that that was simply the "wrong" Lancer, and that the one tested here is the right one. It uses the two-litre turbo diesel bought in from Volkswagen (as does the Outlander , which is also built on the same platform as the Lancer) along with a six-speed manual gearbox, there being no CVT option for this engine. And what a difference that set-up makes. The diesel produces about the same amount of power as the 1.8 petrol, and assuming manual transmission in each case it has roughly the same 0-62mph of just under ten seconds. It's more economical and its lower CO2 figure means it will be cheaper to tax, but you would have to own it for a very long time before you overcame the £1500 premium in list price. But if you want your Lancer to be as sporty as it says it is, that's £1500 well spent. The diesel performs sturdily almost regardless of how quickly it's turning over, so you get good performance more or less whenever you want it. Using this engine creates two problems which Mitsubishi has not entirely solved. First, it makes the Lancer quite noisy - the not entirely attractive sound is very apparent in all driving conditions - and second, its weight isn't particularly well carried by the slightly underdamped front suspension, so the nose is apt to bounce in a manner that can be rather trying when you're just wanting to potter along gently. On the other hand, if you push harder that bounce becomes less apparent. The damping deficiency means that you can overpower the front end at the apex of tight or steep corners, but apart from that the Lancer diesel handles splendidly, with lots of grip and very good balance between the front and rear. You would have to be quite a clodhopper to get yourself into trouble with this car. It's a lot of fun, and it justifies the fancy body styling (available on this GS4 and the slightly less well-equipped GS3) far more than the 1.8 CVT does. For a similar reason, the interior design, which is dull to the point of tedium in the less obviously sporty car, causes less offence here, in the same way that you wouldn't buy a Lancer Evolution X simply because you thought the dashboard looked good. There are still a few glitches, though, in addition to the ones already mentioned. The steering wheel - here we go again - isn't adjustable for reach, which makes it difficult to achieve an ideal driving position; the aesthetically effective rear spoiler limits rear visibility considerably, and for all the good it's doing it might as well not be there at all; and the doorhandles are disappointingly crude for a car costing over £18,000. The gearchange isn't the world's best either, though it may improve once the car has done a few thousand miles. If not, another option would be for Mitsubishi to fit its SST twin-clutch gearbox, which already appears in the Evo and has been introduced to the Outlander. That could be very appealing, though it would push the price through the £20,000 barrier and make the car's various faults seem even less acceptable. But despite those faults I still like the Lancer diesel for its combination of good looks and impressive handling. It occurred to me several times during this test that I wouldn't mind owning the car, which is not something I ever thought about the 1.8 CVT. On current evidence, and ignoring the Evo and the forthcoming Ralliart and standard hatchback versions, this seems to be the best Lancer you can buy.
