We just saw this great review on the
Mitsubishi Lancer SE, that coins it as a car that's designed for Snowbelt states.
Sally Miller Wyatt of The Reporter gives great information on why the Lancer is a great car to drive if you're someone who lives in an area with tough road conditions - like us!
Wyatt writes that it's fuel efficient, stylish, zippy, "perfect for commuters or parents who spend just as much time on the road shuttling children from school to after-school activities as they do getting to and from work."
The specific
Lancer they reviewed is the SE, which has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). It has Mitsubishi's All-Wheel Control all-wheel drive system, as well as heated front seats, heated side mirrors, 16-inch alloy wheels and chrome accents.
A Deluxe Package adds FUSE HandsFree Link System, sunroof, an extra two speakers and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, as well as an optional Navigation Package.
"Behind the wheel, I found a simple and uncomplicated dashboard, comfortable seats and very good visibility. On the road, I found the car handled very well, offered virtually no road noise at freeway speed, and had a good amount of room for rear seat outboard passengers," wrote Wyatt.
She adds that overall the
Mitsubishi Lancer is a nice-looking, mid-sized sedan with spunk, and is a good size for a small family.
We've probably made it past the worst of the snow this year, but who can be sure? Plus, there's always another Vermont winter coming at us next year :) Take a look at our
2013 Mitusbishi Lancer inventory here.

April 22, 1970. However, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co. introduced the Mitsubishi Model A in 1917, which was Japan's first series-production automobile.
Those who are in the market or have done research on Electric Vehicles (EVs) have undoubtedly ran into the question of charging and range. How long will this vehicle run for without a charge? How long must you charge it? All of these are legitimate questions for those in the market for an EV. Well, Mitsubishi is working on a better solution; a technology that would charge EVs with wireless remote charging. This technology would not only allow an EV to have an infinite driving range, but could also potentially be able to keep gadgets (phones, tablets, computers, etc.) powered up indefinitely. 
Starting at just $19,170, the 2013 Outlander Sport has already been named a 2013 IIHS Top Safety pick, is the best-selling Mitsubishi vehicle this year, and was awarded the Kelley Blue Book's 5-Year Cost to Own Award. Seating five comfortably, the Outlander Sport is powered by a 148 hp, 4-cylinder engine, and is equipped with Electric Power Steering and a high-efficiency alternator, helping it achieve 24 mpg city/ 31 mpg highway. Available on the Outlander Sport is a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), a panoramic glass roof, Rockford-Fosgate premium audio system and a 40GB HDD navigation system with real-time traffic and music.
His favorite parts of the car were its styling, nimble handling and comfortable back cloth bucket seats. The total MSRP of his Outlander Sport was $28,570, which included delivery ($825), a premium package ($2,050) and navigation system ($2,000). The premium items he had were a panoramic glass roof with LED mood lighting, roof rails, backup camera and a nine-speaker stereo with a ten-inch subwoofer.
