The 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer is fun to drive. But when the average consumer tour dealerships' lot like Biggers Mitsubishi for a new Mitsubishi model, many of them have more than just themselves in mind, they also have a family to consider.

In an effort to provide families with the most comprehensive vehicle knowledge, Cars.com performs a unique test on emerging models: the Car Seat Check. Using several different popular car seat brands, the automotive information hub tests infant safety using various stage car seats (rear-facing, high-back and convertible seat).

Biggers Mitsubishi is happy to inform you that, the Mitsubishi Lancer performed well across all tests. More specifically, Cars.com mentions that the model's lower Latch anchors are easy to find, tethers are easy to use, and all car seat styles fit well in the back seat of the Lancer.

Complementing the Cars.com Car Seat Check, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) awarded the Mitsubishi Lancer a "Top Safety Pick" title based on the model's overall protective build.
