Here's the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback GT Review on Everyman Driver

I have a 2015 i like to see a 2015 tested

I didn't think this was real until I looked it up. It looks like a cursed image😂

Uncle had one new. Told me I was likely to never see another one in the states. He was right.

UPDATE 4/9/22 thought he sold it long ago, last saw it in 2013. Just saw it yesterday, turns out he still owns it!

Looking at old videos of the Sportback. Only real gripe I have with mine is engine and road noise. If Mitsubishi had made some attempt at sound deadening (which I believe there is none) it would have made a world of difference. Other than the racket its a pretty solid, nice looking car.

Car bashing this one, not a review

These guy’s were being very generous with the score. I got the same car but Saloon version and I give it a 5/10 they are spot with the CVT, loud and slow...get a manual!!!

Does anyone have the 1.5 litre I've been wondering what it's like on fuel?

Really like this car, but the fuel economy is atrociously bad compared to the competition. I don't understand why so bad. The biggest problem though is that they don't offer it in the US any longer!

What would be neat, the US and UK using KW, nM as well as litres per 100 kilomtres. ☺

This car is so much better looking than the Civic hatchback. What is wrong with Honda's designers?

Pretty sure Mitsubishi won't be around too much longer. I have a 2016 Lancer and nothing has changed interior wise from previous years. Holding on by a thread in North America.

What a pathetic review, it's a GT... Yet no mention of handling, acceleration, top speed... Nothing at all that would be relevant to someone who would go for the GT over a standard Lancer. Stick to testing bicycles....

thats why i want a Subaru they look way better

Ralliart is the little brother, this thing is a distant cousin.

It has the same mileage as a cherokee 4x4

I have the same in The Netherlands! It had a 1.8Mivec 145ph 5 speedmanual gearbox! And I really do like it!

Dave seems to review a lot of mitsubishis, yet he almost always doesn't really like them... :P

This lancer has 2.4L engine 168hp Hyundai Elantra 2.0L engine 174hp lancer has weak engine

Not to be nit picky but the EVO's little brother is the ralliart, not this economy version. Thats just kinda misleading and an auto reviewer should be well aware of that

This is one of my dream cars, such a nice beautiful car, considering many modern cars are quite boring... but thats just taste. Great review

These guys are biased. The lancer is awesome. I don't know what the hell they're talking about. Only gripe I have is the simplistic display if you don't get the widescreen lcd display.

The trunk space in the lancer sportback is surprise surprise, superman.

Lancer is def. cheaper right now. I saw one truecar for the NYC area that is $3000 off msrp. The 2013 version right now has a $2000 factory rebate going on. I don't think Mazda has a rebate though... they never tend to do that.

Can't decide between a Lancer and a Mazda 3 :( Your reviews are great, have already seen the one about the 2013 Mazda 3. Keep it up guys! Subscribed.

Mitsubishi used to be an exciting car. What happen?

Great review, Alex & Dave. I agree with the "almost" description. I really wish they brought back the Ralliart SportBack. The interior is so cheap in this car. Looks cool frm the outside.

To the contrary, I think that both Alex and Dave explained the positives and negatives that contributed to their ratings. If only the positives were mentioned, it would be an ad and not a review.

I'm not impressed with this review because it's all bashing the Sportback GT, all the negativity is present with rarely any positives. I personally own a 2013 Sportback GT Touring Edition and I love the hell out of it. Try focusing more on the positives of the vehicle first before bashing it.

"Here you go again" - it is not only a quote from fmr president Reagan but also a reminder for your double standards. Alex, here in this clip @5:03 you criticize the fake ignition key of the Lancer but only few days after this video in your test of the Mazda CX-9 (shown there @2:46 as you start the car) the same fake ignition key is just fine (must have been, since it was not criticized ). You may say it is a nitpicking but I see a pattern here. Your conclusions may be true but it feels biased.

the intererior has that long samurai sword from door to door.

they got to put more horsepower in the base models, the ES.

It's actually the same action figure. I'm a Superman fan and it's just for fun - Dave

Too boring. I hope Mitsubishi would return to creating exciting cars again. The EVO is great, but apart from that their offerings just seem average and boring. They seemed more interesting to me in the 80s and 90s.

The back end looks slightly too elongated, but otherwise looks nice.

Hey guys, great review. Just wanted to point out that there is a reason for that "cap" for starting the car. The key remote has a back up (manual over-ride) key built into the bottom. If for whatever reason something happens, and you need to start the car with the manual key.., that cap will pull off and out, giving you the ability to start the car with the physical key.

Are you serious? The new mirage and the new outlander are class leading mpg. stop trolling cars you could never afford

Should have tested a stick

The CVT kills it. That fuel economy isn't that much more than my truck.

Slow,ugly,overpriced.

almost a subaru; minus the awd. so maybe not even close to a subaru.

For $27,800 you can get a VW GTI, MazdaSpeed3, or Focus ST.

27,800 is horrible... thats not fair. it should be at 21k.

holy crap that lancer is one ugly car.

do a toyota yaris review please. i live in Baltimore and i am considering buying one for the long traffic jams on 695.

I really appreciate the acceleration run in this video! I think that was the one thing that your videos in the past were missing was a bit of spirited driving!! Thanks for that :)

Your reviews where always good, but it seems like you guys are really finding your stride now - editing, pacing, information is more dialed. This was a great review.

Looks like the old outback sport

New Mirage will have 40 MPG, Mitsubishi says.

Mitsubishi, as far as I know, is still staying in the U.S. market, as they recently showed off the all-new Mirage here in North America.

Loved the review guys, keep them coming. I agree with Dave on the score, at $27,840 this car is too expensive for what it offers. I feel like Mitsubishi needs to merge with someone if they want to survive here in the U.S. so far they've dropped the Eclipse and the Galant, their sales are at the lowest they ever been and Consumer Reports rate them poor for reliability and resale value. I just don't see how they could stay afloat for another year.
