If you are looking for a sleek, sharp-handling compact car with a comprehensive warranty, you’ll find the Mitsubishi Lancer worth a look.
While the Lancer’s sub-$16,000 starting price may appear attractive at first glance, value-driven buyers may favor the equally priced Hyundai Elantra and Kia Rio for their additional standard features and superior fuel economy.
