2007 Mitsubishi Lancer EX 1.5L, mivec

Summary:

Reliable with good features

Faults:

So far no mechanical faults.

Rattle sound coming from in dash mp3 player on rough roads, which goes away on good roadways.

Air filter was replaced with a K&N at 25000 km.

Oil used is Mobil 1 10W30, changed at dealer using their oil filter.

Due for its 5th service soon at 36000 Km.

Yokohama tires at 35000 km still have half cm tread left.

General Comments:

I get average 30MPG. Can be higher, up to 34mpg for highway run at 120Km/hr.

Seats are comfortable and highly adjustable.

Rear view area is difficult to see, since the car is so high.

Overall very reliable with low running cost, since service is 10000Km interval at dealer.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1997 Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi 1.6

Summary:

I drove many different cars in my life, and this is one of if not the best car I have ever driven.

Faults:

I have no problem with this car, just Diamond Motors,they have some of the worst service that I have ever had to endure.

General Comments:

Paid $85,000 TT for this car, and never regretted it.

Easy to maintain, parts relatively inexpensive, and easy to upgrade.

Fastest 4 door sedan in that price range, kicked a lot of butt on the track on weekends.
