When it comes to lancers in Pakistan usually people say no no it is too expensive to maintain.
I personally have 3 of these at my home and have restored 1. It didn't find the parts to be extremely expensive they are expensive then usual Corollas and hondas but are better in quality and last long of you buy from the right shop which in Karachi is usually at Plaza.
It is all about how you keep a car. If you rough up any car the engine and suspension will give out be it a Mercedes. Else Mitsubishi are quite nice to drive, comparitively very comfortable, some say they give better mileage (I don't), quite different from other cars, they don't wear off that easily if you don't rough them up.
The biggest and most common issue with these deewan import is igition coils and HT leads they are very prone to give out and the engine must not be washed. I have seen mechanics changing the bloody engine just because they are not capable to diagnose a common ignition coil problem. 1.3 4g13 EFI is a bit underpowered. 1.5 and 1.6 are rather better either manual or Auto..
Else nice car to keep as a hobby and as a daily driver.. one of the reasons for its stupid reputation is Deewan Group.
