I'm looking at an '06 Mitsubishi Lancer ES...

Not the Evo, just the ES. I'm going to college in the fall and right now I drive a '90 F-150, and I just want something new that gets better gas mileage and is more fun to drive.

So I saw this Lancer with only 11,400 miles on it for about 13k... I know it's pretty wimpy with the 120 hp, I4 engine, but I like it... What do you guys think?

Also, how much would the insurance be? I'm 18 with no accident history, but I know it's still going to be outrageous compared to what I pay now for just liability...

they are extremely slow... fyi and pretty cramped if you have anybody in the backseat expect to have no room at all

my wife has an 02 oz rally and she likes, as do I. I try to get her to trade me cars but she wont take over my payment. They do pretty good on gas and my wife is 21 and the insurance isn't to bad.

Well it's still faster than what I have and probably handles a lot better...

And I'm not really into racing and speed and all that. I'm sure it'll go as fast as I need it to go.

gas mileage would be the only reason to get it.....25 bucks to fill the tank and your set for 2 months with this car lol...but yeah go and test drive it...read the reviews on it, and all the problems they have with normal wear and tear and see if you want it

I just think its but *** ugly, then again people think my focus is but *** ugly, so its whatever. If your in school and you want a cheap reliable car, then check into the Honda Civics. I am sure you could get something for 13000.

I like the look of it... And Civics are just too common, I see too many of them.
