The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:

Evolution brings rally performance.
By Bob Plunkett and Larry Edsall, NewCarTestDrive.com
Mitsubishi Lancer's size positions it at the center of a crowded field of compacts that includes class leaders Honda Civic and Ford Focus, plus Nissan Sentra, Toyota Corolla, Mazda Protege, Subaru Impreza and Dodge Neon. Competitively, Lancer has the longest body and its extended wheelbase produces a spacious passenger compartment with best-in-class legroom for front seat riders.Lancer ES offers a strong value, retailing for less than $15,000. Its a handsome sedan with generous room for riders plus comforts from impressive standard features that usually cost extra. Lancer LS provides more gear, but a bigger bottom line. Lancer O-Z Rally looks cool and adds sporty touches for a reasonable price. Lancer Evolution delivers rally car performance and gives Mitsubishi a car that more than competes with the Subaru WRX. |
|
Overview:
|
The Mitsubishi Lancer is a strong compact sedan that offers a good value. But the big news for 2003 is the Evolution, a four-wheel-drive turbocharged homologation special. It's even faster than it sounds. The Lancer was introduced to North America as an all-new car for 2002. The Lancer replaces the old Mirage, but it's bigger and more powerful. Lancer comes with a substantial unibody structure and sophisticated mechanical gear. Lancer features a comfortable, well-equipped cabin, even on the base ES model. For 2003, North America gets the high-performance Lancer Evolution, based on the car Mitsubishi used to rack up victories in World Rally Championship events. Evolution boasts a 271-horsepower engine and all-wheel drive.
