The numbers in plain words
It runs the 2.2L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 9.8 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. Expect about $15.19 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The trunk holds 510 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the Lancer tells you more than any review. Drive the Lancer on your commute before you commit to it. If the Lancer is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Within the 1987 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
