## The Mitsubishi Lancer 2005: A Reliable and Sporty Compact Car The 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer marked a significant step forward for the Japanese automaker, offering a blend of affordability, practicality, and surprisingly spirited performance. This generation of Lancer was built on the "Project Global" platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Mitsubishi Outlander and the first-generation Dodge Caliber. While the Lancer offered a range of engine options, including a 1.6L and a 2.0L, the 2.0L MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control) engine proved particularly popular. This engine, paired with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, delivered a satisfyingly punchy driving experience, especially when equipped with the optional Sport Package. The 2005 Lancer also stood out for its well-rounded design. It boasted a sporty, coupe-like silhouette with a low roofline and a prominent front grille. Inside, the cabin offered a comfortable and functional layout with a spacious interior for its compact size. The Lancer was offered in various trims, ranging from the basic ES to the more luxurious SE and sporty Ralliart. The Ralliart variant, specifically, was designed to appeal to enthusiasts, featuring a tuned suspension, larger wheels, and a more aggressive body kit. While not a full-blown rally car, the Ralliart offered a taste of performance and handling that was hard to find in its class at the time. All in all, the 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer offered a winning combination of affordability, sportiness, and practicality, making it a popular choice amongst a wide range of buyers.
