The figures, translated
It uses the 2.2L 4-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 9.8 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. Expect about $15.19 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
What the Lancer is like
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. In plain terms, its 510 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Lancer for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.19 in fuel.
One more step
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
