Mitsubishi Lancer (CJ) 2007-2015 Review

Engine options are 4B11 (2.0-litre), normally-aspirated or turbocharged and 4B12 (2.4-litre) and both are generally reliable. Both use a timing chain that does not require regular replacement.

CVT transmissions are better than some brands but can fail and are expensive to replace. Dual-clutch transmissions are similar.

ABS faults are not uncommon.

Paint damage from sun exposure is commonplace.
