2013 Mitsubishi Mirage

[niky]

Here's a good illustration of the effects of ABS:


Comparison of braking from 100 km/h, distance measured in meters

Mirage GLX MT/CVT braking (no ABS): 51.3 / 48.3
Mirage GLS MT/CVT braking (ABS): 38.9 / 39.1

Average of 10 meters difference. That's two and a half car lengths difference in distance.

Kia Rio 1.2 braking (no ABS): 51.4
Kia Rio 1.4 sedan/hatch braking (ABS): 43.8 / 39.7

Around the same.

The 1.4 sedan has similar tires to the 1.2, the 1.4 hatch has sportier tires.

The Mirage GLS has sportier Dunlop Sport tires than the GLX (Bridgestone Ecopia). If you gave the GLX the same tires, the difference might be down to 8 meters... which is still a lot of distance.

Technically, a car SHOULD brake faster with the wheels locked up. The problem is that nowadays, with EBD bundled with ABS, an ABS+EBD car will more effectively use all the brakes than a car without, which is why the distances are dramatically shorter, nowadays.

GLX models doesn't have body color door handles while GLS does?

pag po ba bumili ng cash basis, makukuha agad OR/CR and other docs or mas mabilis lang compared sa financing?

mga ka mirage.. ask ko lng ilan km/l ung mirage nyo?? un computation ko ksi sa mirage ko is 9km/l. wla pa sa kalahati na sinasabi nila na 21km/l..

short distance travel with in the city would give you that number because frequent start up of the engine gulps gas

Just to share my minor mods:
1. Wiper blades.
2. Sensor (2 front and 4 back)
3. Shorten Antenna Pole
4. Rain Gutter.

For instances na naubusan ng battery ang transponder mo, isuk-suksok mo yung part ng transponder/remote where the metal (of the physical key) sa slot malapit sa kambio and you can operate the push start button. Kung yung end ng susi (without the transponder where the chip is situated) hindi rin gagana or immobilized ang sasakyan mo kasi. You can test it by removing the battery of the transponder then saka mo iplug yung transponder sa slot.
Kaya napakaimportante na wag mawala ang transponder/remote mo kasi I think hindi anticipated ang mga dealers sa replacement nito. I already checked one of the dealerships at sabi nila they will check and go back to me kasi gusto ko magpagawa ng duplicate ng transponder ko.

Hi everyone, ask ko lang po if true n ung metal key ng gls ay isinusuksok dun sa key slot malapit dun s kambyo? If yes, para saan po un? Di kc maexplain skin ng maayos nung SA ko :-(

Thanks sir jay. Oo nga may fins sa rear skirt tapos may abang pang-dual exhaust. Third party body kit gawa ng clifford sa qc. Paki-search sa website nila mga prices at mga ibat-ibang body kits nila. Pag magpapakabit ka sir bantayan mo lang pag-install nila para maayos pagkakadikit ng 3m tape.
