2008 Mitsubishi Lancer EX GLX / GLS / MX / GT / GTA [ARCHIVED]

[kimika]

i do agree with Chrionic- matipid ang 2.0 4B11.

it is very unlikely to get the 1.5li engine for the local market as well as asia since this is made in europe... it is expensive to send the engine to japan, assemble it there then ship it here to be sold!

D-iD? lets wait for 4N1 series engines...

OT: sir Ian congrats po sa strada club saw your club sa TG

[celtpinoy]

anyone actually using the 2009 LANCER GLS....
am seriously considering it as an alternative to the pricey honda city...

at 806k (for the 1.5 City VARIANT)....bare...compared now to the repriced GLS with CVT at roughly 890..... medyo smarter buy...straightout...

pero... MIVEC 2.0 with CVT....how does this affect the FC?

compared to a CITY/JAZZ with 1.5 iVTEC and 5 speed AT..

tsk tsk...really boils down to the FC...tsk tsk

TIA

OT: sir Ian congrats po sa strada club saw your club sa TG

thank you, sir...

=============================

*celtpinoy, welcome to the thread. AFAIK, the FC could be more or less 8-14km/l depending on city/highway driving. But lets wait for the Lancer EX owners. but i must say matipid siya for a 2.0.

[celtpinoy]

thanks ianmitsulancer...

I'll await the inputs from the happy EX users... used to own a 2.0 Rav4...and was really lucky to get a FC of 6km/ltr.... sure hope the 2009 GLS lancer does much better...

mahal na naman nang GAS these days....FC is definitely something to consider....am really hoping that the INVEC III CVT does the trick for this vehicle's setup (MIVEC 2.0)

hi guys :D

is it possible na magpalagay ng sensors (for parking) sa GT? how much?

is it advisable?

ok lang ba kung yung fuel na ilagay eh yung unleaded na may %ethanol?

and yung 2 speakers sa likod parang di gumagana. parang yug 2 lang sa harap. what do i need to do to make them work or is there something wrong?

[LITHIUM478]

Question Sirs...

I am planning to buy a car and would like to have your opinion... I am choosing between Mitsubishi Lancer GLS and Hyundai Tucson 4WD.

Can you please give your advice.

Thanks.

[bumbellebee]

Yup, that's it for the MX for now daw. It wasnt competitive daw kasi eh. Parang may market for those that want a cheap 2.0 (like myself) at 900k below and those that want the premium GTs and GT-As, according to the various sales reps i talked about. Oh btw, diamond motors and citimotors' service really sucks...am i the only one who noticed this?

haha oo ampangit. yung tint ko na gawa ng diamond motors q ave andaming bubbles.

I've been an EX owner for almost a year now and I get average FC of 7 to 9 km/L computed during full tank refill. That is mostly city driving with lots of humps and/or traffic. Not much straight away highway driving there.

I also have a 1998 model 1.5L Honda Civic that currently gets the same FC. I'm sure that's not a valid straight comparison but I hope the added info helps somehow.

[celtpinoy]

thanks for the input Mampy.....

am i right in assuming that you are using the EX with AT (invecs III CVT)

if so....then your 7-9 km/liter city driving is quite impressive for a 2 liter MIVEC engine

nice ;)

Mukha yatang di tama ang category for comparison, sedan ang lancer at suv ang tucson.

Meron akong lancer itlog dati at dito pa rin ngayon ang 2002 mx. Ngayon 2 years na ang tucson 4x2 crdi ko. Di ko sila pwede ikompara kasi malayo and pinagkaiba but I have to admit na superior in looks, performance and comfort ang tucson kompara sa lancer that I owned. I loved my tucson fitted with power box (tuning chip from MAL) in overtaking, talagang feel mo ang surge of power & smoothness, di ka mabibitin pag kailangan.

But then it's just me, my personal experience & opinion. Peace to all

Test drive mo na lang pareho para ma feel mo ang comparison. Good luck.

[ianmitsulancer]

Yes, the Lancer EX GLS and Tuscon are worlds apart... maybe you ended up with the both of them due to closeness of the price range...

If you think you will need more room for luggage, then it might be the Tucson.

Otherwise, if a 4 door sedan will suffice and fun-to-drive factor is what you are searching for, then by all means, get the Lancer!

Hi frds,

I just wanted to ask if there's something wong with my trip computer...

Once i filled up my tank it said 440km til my next refill....but when i eventually loaded i only got 360km out of it? is it coz the 440km is an approximation of mixed city and highway? People say that the 1.8 civic a/t has consumption of a 1.5...is this true? and since the altis is an efficient car....does this mean just becasue the lancer ex is a 2.0, it has the worst FC in this compact car segment?? Im worrying now that my purchase based on it being the most impressive looking one in the segment, but maybe down the line with that kind of FC, I may live to rgret it. Hope not tho. With the charts of crude oil at a steady climb pa naman now. For Lancer EX owners how do you get 400+ kms to a full tank??

ALso, does the FC improve after the 1000pms??

Tthanks if you can answer my questions friends.

[oliver1013]

Matipid po ang EX...contrary to what others say...back read po kayo madaming owners dito ang nagsasabi for a 2.0 car its FC is ok...relax lang kayo and enjoy your ride...dati din kakaba kaba ako, pero after 6 mos, first hand experience po, ITS FC IS GOOD..comparable to manual 1.6 altis..

The Estimated Trip Meter Reading given by the EX's onboard computer is based on your current FC (press mode a couple of times til you arrive on the real time FC meter e.g km/l or L/100km reading) It only give's you the estimate distance you could travel at the rate of the Fuel Consumption reading.

Sample computation:

I had a 440km reading on my estimated distance I can travel when I had a full tank awhile ago.

440 - estimated distance
---- - divided by
59 Liters - full tank capacity
=
7.5km/l Fuel consumption

My FC is based on city driving and a lot of traffic, SLEX > Edsa > Roxas Boulevard Route.

I've been an EX user for 6 months and I haven't complained on it's FC's one bit, I have a 2007 FD 2.0 and daily drive it before (had to give it up to wifey though), bonestock same conditions, i could only get a max of around 6+km/l.

The EX's FC is comparable to most of the 1.6L engine compact cars out in the market. Considering the EX's 2.0L engine, giving you around 7.5-8.5km/l FC is as good as it gets.

Congratulations on your Lancer EX sir.

No offense to FD users out there, but this is just me on a comparo FC, and I still love the FD we have.

Lancer EX GT-A user here by the way.

yes pwede palagyan ng aftermarket rear back up sensors yan, If it would help you a lot, why not. Specially if variant mo is GT or GT-A which comes with the spoiler. I'm not sure though if that voids electrical warranty.

regarding fuel, the manual indicated a 95 ron or higher rating, I'm not sure though, some ex owners I know uses unleaded, haven't heard anyone use E10 though.

I've been using V-Power ever since I got my GT-A.

regarding speakers, check the settings if on it maybe set on all FRONT then 0 on REAR.

Thanks for the input... my first choice is actually Tucson, but I am having second thoughts with Lancer EX GLS (nagandahan kasi ako dun sa nakadisplay showroom nila).

I am currently located in Saudi Arabia.

Parehong full options, Tucson 4WD (automatic) here costs SR63,000 (approx P788,000), while the Lancer costs SR66,000 (approx P825,000). I am just wondering ang presyo sa Pinas is magkalayo Tucson 4WD is P1.2M while Lancer EX GLS is P938,000.

Then again thanks again for the input. Atleast it is coming from you who both owns a Lancer and a Tucson.

I think I will go for the Tucson.

[LeOxe]

if practicality and higher ground clearance, the tucson clearly wins but when you prefer uniqueness and style, it will be the lancer.

hi guys, as ko lang po bout sa gt-a, bkit gnun, sabi sa manual 9 speakers lahat pero 7 lang po? talaga po bang ganun? Thanks..

[oliver1013]

Baka di mo naisama yung tweeter

[rllopez1229]

Baka di mo naisama yung tweeter

kasama napo, bale 2 tweeters, 4 speakers for all doors, and sub woofer and amplifier sa ilalim ng driver's seat. Bakit po gnun sabi kasi 9 speakers eh..
