"Mitsubishi Lancer SE Designed for 'Snowbelt States'"

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.
