2013 Mitsubishi Lancer recognized by USAA as the "Best Value" in the small sedan segment

Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) is proud to announce that its well-equipped and affordably-priced 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer sport sedan has been recognized as the best overall value in the small sedan vehicle segment by USAA.

USAA, a leading financial services provider to the U.S. military community and its members' families, has created its "Best Value" list by using quantitative data to evaluate vehicles' cost, safety and reliability, among other important factors.

"The goal of the list is to give members an easier way to determine value as they shop for vehicles," said Steve Thompson, vice president responsible for the USAA Car Buying Service. "This year we raised the bar on the importance of safety standards by requiring vehicles earn a "Top Safety Pick" award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) to qualify as USAA Preferred, and the 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer rose to the top in its category for offering the best overall value."

The fun-to-drive Mitsubishi Lancer compact sports sedan has been named an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) "Top Safety Pick" for six consecutive years (2008 through 2013 model years).

"A USAA Preferred vehicle is a great value financially, and is among the safest vehicles on the road," said Mr. Thompson.
