The Eclipse coupe’s sharp appearance, torquey 3.8-litre V6, great steering response, and strong brakes aren’t enough to make up for its torque-steer, wide turning circle, noisy cabin and poor visibility, says reviewer Haney Louka.

2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT-P V6
2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR
The honeymoon is over and we’ve discovered the legendary Evo has shortcomings, says Editor in chief, Greg Wilson. “Evo fans may grimace when I say this, but the Evo is not an easy car to live with,” he says.
2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart
The Lancer Sportback Ralliart combines the performance of the Evo’s slightly detuned turbocharged engine, all-wheel drive system and Twin-Clutch Sportronic Shift Transmission with the utility of a hatchback bodystyle, reports Contributing Editor, Chris Chase.
2009 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT-P
Like all two-door sport coupes, the Eclipse GT-P is “impractical”, says reviewer Michael Clark. The rear seat is cramped and there’s very little storage space. Today’s buyers have a “higher expectation of practicality”, he notes.
Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car
Bob McHugh drives a prototype of what may be the first fully electric, mass-produced electric car sold in Canada. Mitsubishi’s i-MiEV performs well in city traffic, but its 120-km range “is akin to a quarter-tank of gas,” he says.
Mitsubishi Lancer, 2003-2006
Due to the Lancer’s relatively low sales volume, there isn’t a lot of solid information available about its reliability, says Contributing Editor, Chris Chase. “Based on what data it has, Consumer Reports gives the 2002 and 2003 Lancer...above-average overall reliability ratings.”
2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback
The Lancer Sportback is back, this time with a more stylish hatchback bodystyle, and two versions: GTS and Ralliart. Both offer “a great combination of practicality, style and – particularly in the Sportback Ralliart – performance,” says Senior Editor, Paul Williams.

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR
For its MSRP of $47,998, contributor Michael Clark wasn’t impressed with the Lancer Evolution MR’s interior fit and finish and lack of interior storage space and trunk space. But he loved its Recaro seats.

2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor
The Endeavor's interior is in need of an update, reports contributor Michael Clark. "There is too much missing here in the areas of comfort, innovation, styling, and pricing," he says.
