Lancer as a family carriage

Hello, I want to buy a new used family carriage and there I noticed the Lancer. Looks good and is quite cheap to have. I want to spend about 10500 euros plus car gas retrofit!!! The with 135 hp would be great, but consumes certainly too much and the with 98 hp could be too lame! So far I drive a Nissan Primera station wagon. I would like to hear a few opinions about this vehicle (permanence, fuel consumption, everyday suitability etc.)
