Guys, for info.

[1D4LV]

isa lang comment ko....

a) drum brakes pa rin ang rear brakes nya.
b) alang ABS.

[mbt]

note lang: that wasn't a review... just a sneak peek

engine is outclassed at 110 hp... the front end looks suspiciously like the local Camry... Mitsu should be commended by introducing a CVT tranny locally, a first for the mainstream market. i do hope mitsu makes an M/T available on the top trim levels

while i'm not a big fan of the new lancer personally, i expect we should see some improvements to the current Civic line-up (how about an SiR-ized ES civic sedan?) and the Altis line-up soon

[boybi]

diba me ABS na yung dating MX Lancer? bakit kaya tinanggal sa new lancer?

[nonie]

boybi,
ganyan talaga ang mitsu sa pinas ....ibabalik nila yang abs and rear disc brake kapag walang bumili ng new lancer nila........last year pa po nilabas yang lancer/cedia dito sa dubai ay ngayon pa lang nila nilabas....like the pajero, 2 years na yung new look ay old gen pa rin ang nandyan sa atin...:x

The headlight looks like an accord's.
The fascia in general looks like a cefiro.
The tail end looks lifted from the Galant.
The rims look like a 4 spoke version of the old 4door RAV4's.
Although the individual pieces do looks like copies of other cars, as a whole, the Lancer looks quite nice.

The interior looks plush! I also like the trick CVT tranny!


In general, I LIKE! :D

mbt..sorry..sige sneak peek... :oops:

6-speed CVT with INVECS-III Sportronic - Sweet :mrgreen:

boybi - Pag bagong pasok sa market ang kotse talagang tinitipid ng manufacturer lalo na mitsu, pero pag pa phase out na they throw everything with the car. - ABS, VCD... etc.

[mbt]

kudos to mitsu for introducing innovative technology to the masses though (the CVT tranny)

[Paul]

the sneak peak at motion cars says the engine is a 4g18 (tama ba?). so this is different from previous lancers (at last!). we shouldn't judge an engine in horsepower alone. maybe it has plenty of torque to play with at a broader band. remember a 145bhp sr20 can match a 160bhp b16a because it has plentiful of torque.

anyway, is the new lancer engine a GDI engine? it's been long in the tooth and should be introduced na in our shores.

what really caught my surprise is the 6-speed CVT transmission. is mitsubishi leading the way with transmission technology in the market?

[mbt]

looks like it... finally, we're seeing some innovation in the market!

is that a 1.8L engine in the new lancer?

[pajerokid]

With 110hp, looks like were gonna get an old 1600cc engine. If you really want a lancer, id seriously suggest holding out for a year or two and wait for better equipped models :D my $0.02 :mrgreen:

[DragOn]

okay ah, may VCD rin yung MX..pero bat ganon, habang pababa ng model, yung horsepower bumababa rin? diba same engine naman?

[boybitz]

tama nga na it looks a bit like pieces of other cars, pero im not sure din kung sino ba talaga ang nauna kasi sa ibang bansa luma na yang model na yan e. that model is mga 2-3 yrs ago na sa taiwan and other parts of asia. Yun nga lang they have a more powerful engine, like sa taiwan 1.8L 4G93 yung engine nila. Dito 1.6L 4G18 nga.

Front grille, wala na tayong magagawa dyan, lahat halos ng manufacturers e naglalabas ng ganong horizontal front grille. D ko type. But then again, cguro dahil lang wala akong pambili. Pag nakabili ako malamang sasabihin ko namang bagay na bagay sa auto. :mrgreen:

d bumaba horsepower pag baba ng version. there's more torque and horsepower sa GLS than MX version, konti lang naman. I guess it's with the way the engine is tuned (internals). Yung 4G92 from before, paulit ulit din, pero iba iba power ratings nya d ba.
Sa GLX model naman dahil ba carb sya? Pero you get all power options pa din.

Is the 2003 lancer GLX (Cedia) already compatible with E10 gasoline? The Mitsu website says that mitsu cars with "gasoline direct injection" engines are not compatible with E10.

Sir, kung cedia na 4g18, ok lng sa e10. Since binili namin yung cedia ko, (2009) e10 na ang nilalagay ko. (e10 unleaded or e10 premium)
