The Mitsubishi Colt Lancer, produced from 1996 to 2000, was the fifth generation of the popular Lancer model line. This compact car, known for its affordability and practicality, was available in a variety of body styles, including a sedan, a hatchback, and a wagon. The Lancer offered a range of engine options, with the most popular being the 1.3L and 1.6L gasoline engines. These engines provided adequate power for everyday driving, while offering decent fuel economy. While not a performance-oriented car, the Lancer offered a surprisingly comfortable ride with a well-balanced suspension. The interior was functional and comfortable, with a user-friendly dashboard and spacious seating for five. Standard features included power steering, air conditioning, and an AM/FM radio.

However, the Lancer was not without its drawbacks. Some users reported issues with the car's electrical system, and the interior plastics were not as high-quality as some competitors. Nevertheless, the Lancer's strong reputation for durability and its competitive pricing made it a successful model for Mitsubishi. The 1996-2000 Colt Lancer was a solid, reliable car with a loyal following. While not a groundbreaking vehicle, it offered a practical and comfortable driving experience with a well-proven engine and drivetrain. This made it an attractive choice for buyers seeking a dependable and cost-effective compact car.
