Although I don't own a Lancer but two of my cousins own these. One is Dewan offered 2004 1.3 GL, and the other is Australian model 2005 model 2.0 GLX. Drive of both is excellent, but Australian import is so very powerful.
The only problem Lancer owners sometimes face is the ECU (computer). When it malfunctions then you don't find it easy to get it repaired/replaced.
