Car Profiles - Mitsubishi Lancer EX

MITSUBISHI LANCER EX

When it was launched, everyone had their heads turn. But as time caught by, a 1.6 engine became available which masked its age since its competitors were redesigned or updated thoroughly. While the lines are striking, do remember its old.

The Good: Steering is fun, handling is good. Appeal is broadened by new, more practical 1.6L engine.

The Bad: Cheap interior touches, getting long on the tooth.

Price Range: P928,000-P1,238,000
