Driving the Dream

Everyone who has seen Star Wars either wishes they could fly the Millennium Falcon or Luke Skywalker's X-Wing. Both look like they'd be a rush to pilot and, of course, who wouldn't want to fly through outerspace at the speed of light? Plus, the Falcon can carry a lot of passengers and look good while doing it. Unfortunately for us human beings, we haven't quite achieved that method of transportation yet. Instead, we must be resigned to traveling the open roads in whatever kind of car, moped, or bicycle we can afford. But what if you're out shopping for a new car? How do you know where to start your search so that you can end up with something as cool as an X-Wing? You can do it by starting your search at Mitsubishi.

The Lancer is one of the sleekest and newest compacts on the market. It's small, but fast and is guaranteed to be the envy of everyone else on the road. You'll want to take a look at the roomy interior and note all the features you can enjoy and you'll also want to take a moment to appreciate the beauty on the outside.

Let's start with the interior. The Mitsubishi Lancer comfortably seats five and comes with bucket seats for the driver and passenger in the front seat. These are upholstered in fabric for a more comfortable ride. If you choose, you can upgrade to a more expensive model that will also feature heating in the front seats so that you can stay toasty warm on the most blustery of days. In case you like to jam out while you're driving or riding, you should note that the Lancer comes with a Rockford Fosgate audio system that will have the bass pumping and your teeth rattling. Optional upgrades include Bluetooth phone capability in case you want to be able to talk hands-free and a navigation system. You can also add a USB port or auxiliary audio jack if you want to be able to plug in an MP3 player.

And the beauty of the interior doesn't stop there. If you take a look at the cargo compartment, you'll notice that there is plenty of room for your luggage - just beware if you're trying to carry tall objects. Since this is a sedan, there isn't a lot of room in height for things like fishing poles or other tall objects. You'll also note that the spring-loaded release levers on the back seats are very easy to manipulate, enabling you to put down your back seats in record time.
Don't forget about the exterior. With its sleek lines and angled headlights, friends and neighbors will be able to see you coming from far away. The Mitsubishi Lancer comes in a variety of colors, from Rally Red to Octane Blue to Wicked White. Once you've locked eyes on this new car, you'll forget your dream to pilot the Millennium Falcon and be dying to pilot the Mitsubishi Lancer instead.
