I would go all out and buy teh Evo, but alas Im short on cash.

Could people who have this car please give me the pros/cons of it?

 

It's all about what you want/like dude. Find one and get a testdrive... that'll be the best way for you to see what YOU like and what YOU want out of the car.

 

con Underpowered
pro cheap
pro RoadRace Motorsports has a turbo and LSD available
Con ES has no swaybar, but RRM has a Progress one that you can buy.
Con not many options on suspention parts.

 

My friend has one...i like it. the evo is alot of money, and you could buy the Es and trick it out hehe.

 

Ah, I did take it for a tst drive and am looking forward to it.- But, I have heard that the brakes makes squaling noises?

 

i have a 2002 oz rally, and no brake squeaking here, maybe people just need to change their brakes lol

 

for the price of regular lancer, maybe check out scion tc?

 

Cons- it's not a tuner car, face it.

At least try for a Ralliart.

 

I haven't seen any problems with the breaks (no noise or anything). Maybe, like someone else said, it just needed new pads or something. I have access to an 02 ES and an 03 OZ, both have been problem free.

There does not seem to be much you can do to get more power in the car though. But that is up to you, and with what your purpose in getting the car is (i.e. tune it, or have a way to get around).

If you have any specific questions, I'ld be more than happy to answer them for you. Let me know!

 

i agree, but then again, all cars have their problems, it could just be the car, could just be the driver not babying the car. but i drive my '03 oz rally everyday and i'm in love with it. i bought the oz because lets face it, evo was outta my range and this was the closest thing to it @ the time. But i wish i would have bought an es or ls and put the extra money into that tweaking it, but i'm satisfied with my purchase.
