2010 Mitsubishi ASX Crossover

[ghosthunter]

They're real carbon fiber, with a specific weave pattern and width that you can specify when ordering. But that doesn't mean anything since I'm not reducing weight on my overweight crossover, I installed it purely because I love how it looks against the dark blue shade of the car.

OT: the more expensive fake CF stickers include a weave pattern that you can actually feel under your fingers that mimic "dry" carbonfiber parts.

As for your ASX being overweight, it is about the same as the Lancer EX GTA 2.0L so it's not really overweight.

It seems it has no foglights or it got replaced with LED? May white rectangular rin kasi.

It looks even meaner and better IMO!

Haven't heard but the ASX with 1.8L diesel is available in other countries.

My fear is the potential higher SRP of the diesel variant might just kill the sales potential.

The other day, bored and with a full tank of gas, I decided to drive through twisting roads of Tanay, Rizal to see the handling and performance potential of the Mitsubishi ASX.

Right at the start, the ASX seems to be a little short of breath if I leave the shifter to "D" and simply flooring the accelerator. Overtaking other cars would require me to engage manual mode and downshift to get enough ooomph. But once into gear, overtaking is done quickly and without much drama. Although not the most fuel efficient way, the best gears to tackle the twisting roads are 2nd and 3rd, which are the same with the Lancer EX.

To prevent overheating the brakes, especially in the descent portions, I used quite a bit of engine braking. I do notice that engine braking is not as pronounced with the ASX as on other vehicles with conventional A/Ts.

Given my tires are still the stock tires the ASX came with (width 205 I think), I didn't push my speed much in the corners, keeping it maxed at around 80kph right between entry and exits. (In comparison, my Lancer EX had wider 235 tires which enabled me to corner at 100kph on the same corners.) With the zigzag portions where the road quickly shifts from right to left (or vice versa), I had to take extra care with the side-to-side weight shifts of the ASX especially with the stock suspension a little soft for comfort. Even then, the ASX performed well through the entire two hour round trip drive through the beautiful countryside.

Last holy wed I went up to baguio to spend my weekend using my asx..going up using kennon road was just an ease..engaging it from 2wd to 4wd and (asc always "on"), cause it was raining at that time, let me feel how the tires hug the wet pavement,even in cornering, giving me the confidence to overtake big trucks and slow moving vehicle..although the FC was increased due to 4wd mode from 11km/li when i was at the foot of kennon road, became 10.3km/li when i arrived home..

this morning ( 2:30 am), i went down going back to bataan using kennon road again, putting it in 2wd (asc on), when i reached the foot of kennon road, my FC was 20.8km/li... i know the road was going down, little gas is needed to propel my asx, but i was amazed i have that kind of FC..i was even overtaking cargo jeep and truck(vegetable dealers)..of course it went down to 13.3 km/li when i was traveling at low lands..

* sctex, i was traveling 120 kph at 2100 rpm...

here is the pic....

Whew, I miss driving SCTEX! Only the bugs are a hassle when they're in season but that's just about the only road where we can let loose. My favorite parts are where you're driving inbetween two hills that my friends and I called the pekpek or cleavage approach.

P.S. ask your companion (if any) to take your picture next time! Stay safe guys

*kagete...I was traveling alone and I was also confident that my steering wheel wont easily move ( from left to right) cause it stiffens * 60 kph and above above..hehehe...have you notice that bro? and ang gaan sobra ng manibela kapag naka tigil asx natin...hehehehe

We always use SCTEX every two weeks coming from work (work in Pangasinan area) going home to Manila and you are right, it is the only place where you can let loose the urge to speed up and try the limit of our ASX. But I seldom do that now because of fuel consumption consideration, sobra na mahal

tama ka diyan bro, pero if the price is not that high, para sa kin, the best na asx natin pag dating sa FC with a 2.0 displacement and having an ave FC of 10-13 km/li..try mo mag 140kph sa sctex bro, mas maganda FC..noticed it last time, kita ko sa eco meter/ instantaneous FC natin, almost gitna yung meter...hehehehe..pero watch out kasi may mga patrol na baka may dalang speed gun....

The dealer said that the electric power steering turns off at highway speeds to give the driver more feel and help keep the car on-center. It's nice for a straight road but if you're doing a lot of turns and twists on the highway it can get a bit tiring.

In SCTEX we're sometimes torn between using the cruise control (minsan lang kasi magagamit sa pinas) or driving really fast.

On the topic of FC, after another fuel tank, based on the receipts and odo, my computed mpg is still around 22 mpg. I have a feeling it's because of my heavy foot when accelerating from a standstill. I still can't get the perfect mix of acceleration without the ugly noise from the engine/CVT.

When is everyone's first scheduled PMS? When i bought mine, the trip computer said service was at 7500miles/2 months, now it's saying 6500miles/1month. I really don't want to go to the dealer again... Napapagastos ako sa kakatingin ng accessories at ibang kotse

[FoundOnRoadDead]

First PMS namin dito is 1000km, tapos ko na, next should be 10000km kasi daw fully synthetic engine oil na ginamit namin, but I did change my oil 5000km, now im around 7000km and im planning to do my next PMS at 10000km...wala pang acce sa casa sa baguio kaya wala pa ako acce na nilagay heheheehe...nag palit lang ako from halogen fog light to HID 6000k...

[kagete]

Nice, pati fog lights halogen! Baka makabulag ka nyan.

Accessories update:

If you buy the upright cargo net, this requires drilling of two holes in the plastic interior for installation! The dealer was asking $60 to install it. No thanks, magkamali pa sila para lang ma hook ko yung $35 na cargo net.

Get the envelope style cargo net that lays flat if you must have one, as that one uses existing hooks.

[FoundOnRoadDead]

Hindi naman masakit sa mata HID ng fogs ko bro...hehehehe...jan ba sa states kailangan ng permit bago ka mag upgrade ng electrical system mo such as HL or stereo? requires drilling? hirap na...good decision bro...you're right baka mag kamali sila, hirap na...

[kagete]

No permit needed but it's touch-move: If you touch your electricals, then dealers can automatically refuse to cover any electrical problem under the warranty.

If you want to upgrade anything on your car and keep it under warranty, you have to pay the dealer to do it for you. And for anything that's wired, using non-OEM parts will also void warranty. Keeping a car "Stock + with warranty" is important if you ever want to sell your car or make a claim with insurance. Kunyari masira 2003 Honda Civic Si mo or ibebenta mo sya sa interested buyer, $11,000 lang ang value nun kung stock. If you had HIDs+Momo steering wheel and shifter + Volk wheels installed on it totalling $3,000, the appraised cost of your Civic isn't $11k + $3k, it actually becomes $11k minus $2-3k for being "non-stock". For a lot of americans that look at their cars' total cost of ownership over several years, the modding culture really doesn't make sense.

[FoundOnRoadDead]

I see, kasama sa depreciation ng kotse mo yung mods mo...opposite dito sa tin sa Pinas..yup, dealer nag palit ng fogs ko ng HID kaya hindi void waranty...and my mod helps me a lot lalo na dito sa bataan na may mga part ng highway na kakaunti ang ilaw or totally wala plus asphalt na walang road line ang daan..napansin ko kasi na yung Fog na halogen natin halos di mo na makita kapag naka on yung HL natin..nung inupgrade ko, obvious na nadagdagan yung liwanag sa daan...
