The lancer ex 2.0A Gls, may not have 4 disc brakes but the braking with its drum brake is as good as other cars with this brakes. This car has alot of potential be it acceleration, top speed, cruising or handling, this may be a heavy sedan but remember, a heavy sedan means a stabler ride, hence while traveling at higher speed you will still have total control over your car as it would not wobble like some of the lighter japan mades. Heavy it may be, acceleration on 0-100 is recorded to be a low 8s as the mivec is a powerful engine.

What I like
The power
Acceleration
Handling
Stability

What I do not like
Have to Rev slightly above 2k rpm to achieve faster pickup

this is my first car. bought first hand 1.5 Lancer Elegance. been 2 years driving it. clocking my 50,000km in a month time, i believe. well, for a normal car, i guess this works fine for any person. it is quite spacious for a sedan car compared to others. the pick-up is okay; not good but not bad. anyway, in singapore, there are too many traffic lights. if i want something fast, might as well i don't purchase this car.

anyway, the performance of the car is a reflection of the driver who is handling it ;)

What I like
- sporty design; outlook
- quite comfortable
- handling: medium

What I do not like
- accessories is adequate

Got the 1.6L GLX and tried the 1.5EX.
Comfortable, good steering and stiffness in suspension. Though fairly short wheelbase, cornering is decent. Sleek exterior design and nice looking accessories in the sports version (spoilers, rims etc). CVT engine takes time to get used to, I took one week to understand optimum way of accelrating without too high revs. Less plasticky interior, which I like. Low maintenance costs. Stable at high speed, even at maximum speed.

Suspension, though stiff, after a few hard cornering, some weird sound appears. Lack of accessories in the interior. Slightly weak AC. Cramp interior. Lack of power sockets to charge phones etc. Lack of storage compartments. Poor sound insulation.

What I like
As highligted above

What I do not like

Bought this ride as a used ride. It is a 2008 basic model unlike the GT model which has lots of goodies installed.

Firstly, the outlook. I'm sure many will agree that the Lancer EX looks sporty even without any bodykit or spoiler. This applies to my ride. It comes with stock 16" but I've changed it to 17" and it looks great.

Secondly, comfort level. The lancer has comfortable seats. The air con is cool even when set to 25 degrees. Noise level is acceptable. Most of the noise intruded into the cabin comes from my tyres rather than engine. Rpm at 100km/hr is 2.0, hence noise level from engine is low.

Lastly, the drive experience. It took some time to get used to CVT without the gear changing process. There is power available from 2.5rpm onwards. The CVT really drives well. With no shift shocks, the drive is so smooth and comfortable.

Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase. It is sure value-for-money for a 2L sedan. It comes with auto headlamp, wiper sensors and keyless entry as well.

What I like
CVT - Quiet, smooth, seamless drive
Price - Value for money
Looks - Sporty looks. Looks even greater with bodykit and spoiler.

What I do not like
No rear disc brakes - This is old model. Newer models comes with rear disc brakes as standard
No HID headlamps - Same as rear disc brakes

Been driving the Ex 2.0GT for 4years now. I have been looking for a replacement but the only thing which can replace my GT in terms of the joy of driving costs almost twice what I paid for. The Lancer GT is a fun car to drive - The handling is excellent and steering is sharp. Suspensions are tight which allows you to take around a bend at speeds is easily. I also have the benefit of having stock Rockford Fosgate 8+1 sound system which is sweet.

What I like
Handingling
Steering feel: weight & Feedback
Sound system
Seats & driving posture (feels like you're one with the car)
Free reving engine - when on manaul the revs can really swing fast

What I do not like
Road Noise can get to you initially - thats becuase the stock tires are bad. Once I changed the tyres, that became less of a problem.
Whine of the CVT takes some getting used - swing to manual and you don't have that problem anymore.
No rear air-con vents - the Missus compalints about that (not me)
Spoiler - blocks the rear view - so I got rid of it.
