I don't honestly know. But since it's pickup based, it should have the intake routed through the fender, like most AUVs... which is safer for flood fording.

June 8th, 2010 11:55 AM #12Thanks again for the input chief Niky
I guess the Mitsubishi Adventure can indeed be a practical alternative, tho I read somewhere here that the Super Sport AT 2.0 (the one I'm looking at) is a bit of a gas guzzler and some say that the ride quality of this AUV is quite rough especially on long drives.
But then again maybe a change in the suspension, springs, type of tires used or even just plain tire pressure adjustment, might already improve ride quality right?
I'm just considering this alternative cause it has a much higher ground clearance and can load more people compared to a sedan. Toyota REVOs are a good alternative as well but they are just much more expensive.
Can I get your two cents on this as well chief?
Many thanks again.

June 10th, 2010 11:25 AM #15Thanks for the input chief Asus700 , sorry about this, but I'm just a bit confused now... so your saying that all 2003 and up model lancers have their intakes located above the radiator and near the hood?
Chief Niky said in his reply that lancer models generally have their air intakes located behind the front bumper hence its not safe for driving through flood waters for it will be quickly submerged since it is situated too low to the ground.
Could you please clarify this? my apologies for the confusion mga chief
Thanks again

niky was talking about lower model lancers which have their intakes positioned differently.
for the model you are considering, its positioned way up high. The pic below, taken from the net, is from a 2003 lancer and the intake is encircled in yellow. no change was done on the intake up to the current 1.6 lancer.
quite a good and practical buy too, 2003 models are selling within the vicinity of 300k. the "kalampag" issue of previous generation lancer is non-existent on this model, so they sayLast edited by Asus700; June 10th, 2010 at 01:50 PM.

Oh, so it's not that low to the ground after all... and maybe the lancer is still a good buy after all indeed.
True; I really like the lancer package cause it's pretty packed with features at a very reasonable price.
Tho I still hear alot of hear-say na "sirain" daw kase ang mga lancers kaya mababa ang resale value. But still; it's a very enticing package for a second hand buy.
Thanks again sa inputs nyo mga chiefs
