Our expert ratings are based on seven comprehensive criteria: quality, safety, comfort, performance, fuel economy, reliability history and value.

You can interpret our ratings in the following way:

: Outstanding vehicle. Only the most exceptional vehicles achieve this rating.

: Very Good vehicle. Very good and close to being the best vehicle in its class.

: Good vehicle. Decent, but not quite the best. Often affordable, but lacking key features found in vehicles of the same class.

: Below average vehicle. Not recommended, and lacking attributes a car buyer would come to expect for the price.

: Poor vehicle. Simply does not deserve to be on the road.

2013 ES 4dr Front-Wheel Drive Hatchback

Overview

Both send power to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). While this may feel like it drains the motor of power, it does help the Lancer achieve a fuel efficiency rating of 24 city and 32 highway for the ES, and 22 city and 29 highway for the GT. Not as good as some other vehicles in its class, but not bad, either.

The Sportback and Lancer share an uncanny family resemblance from the front, but, because of elongated rear hatch styling, the view from the rear and the side is quite different—and even a bit sporty. This rear hatch design improves the cargo capacity to 52.7 cubic feet with the cargo floor down, so it's as utilitarian as it is stylish.

The interior isn't the Lancer's strongest point, as the quality of materials doesn't stand up to the interiors offered in competitors like the Ford Focus. Even so, the layout is very efficient and easy to understand. You won't have to worry about taking your eyes off the road in order to find stereo buttons on the stereo. Air conditioning dials are also large and simple to use.

One of the best things about the Lancer Sportback—or any Mitsubishi for that matter—is the longstanding 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. It's one of the best you can find.
