perhaps its handling?

but then again we have to ask its strong link in what regard. for performance driving probably its handling. the car drives beautifully for what i payed for it. For the car's original commuter car purpose definitely affordability, mileage, looks, and more room than the competitors

it's sleek and unforgettable body lining... I believe it's the best looking lancer generation compared to what's out now. Looks alot better than the mirages as well.

Also, The interiors.... Sleeek, smooth, and simple.

Besides handling, I'd say we have a pretty sturdy block, however most everything in the G94 besides the block is pretty weak

but hey, what are forged internals made for

The Lancer has more leg room in the back compared to most cars(in its class) that I've sat in.

The stock OZ wing looks great to me. That and a 5 speed were my only demands when I bought the car.

There's really no need to lock this thread. It's just the opposite to the weakest link!

I'd probably go with handling or with the right parts (underhood bushings) the shifting.

3 spare fuses an the plastic puller they supply you w/on the rear of the change dish....the lancer is pretty weak all around.

if i had to pick; i'd say the OZ wheels are the best built part on the lancer

I'd say the strongest link is it's 10 yr 100k warranty, other than that nothing. If you voided your warranty then I guess you're screwed. If you buy a new OZ fully loaded you'll spend about $22k in my area, that's sun and sound package and all, the works. In the first year the car will depreciate $6k and the total 5 year true cost to own is $33.5k according to Edmunds. Not worth it imo considering there are plenty of cheaper cars out there that are plenty faster and cheaper to own, but not too many cars out there that are slower and more expensive to own. That makes the warranty it's strongest link imo.
Those above figures from Edmunds are based on folks with excellent credit and crystal clear driving records with low insurance rates etc.
If I would have known all this when I purchased it I swear I would have never bought it.
