Mitsu LANCER: GUD, BAD, ETC...

[AirWolf]

I'm planning to get a Mitsu Lancer model ranging from 1998-2000 or maybe 2001.

I would like to get your opinions about this car...

1. What are the common problems / sakit ng lancer?
2. Price of maintenance parts - mahal ba or kayang-kaya?
3. Where to get ORIG parts aside from casa?
4. Overall performance of the Lancer...

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion... so fire away.

Anything you can say about it as per your experience will be a great help for me in decision to buy...

Thank you in advance.(",)

3-1/2 years na car ko no problems so far. pero need to take note it has only 30k on the odo (29,7xx yata so wala pa talaga 30k).

problems? ahh, uhm, duh, oem battery lang, conked out after 16 months (some say this is good enough). changed the oem 1sm battery to 2sm battery, until now 2+ years already no problems so far.

tipid sa gas (i get 16.5km/L highway, 10km/L average city). but then again, that's my foot on the gas pedal and not yours.

pag nasa NLEX ako pag-lampas sa entrance hataw na agad. i run the engine at almost red line many times, wala pa naman nasisira. and when i say red line that means pedal to the metal and just watch the auto tranny shift itself from 1-2-3-4. so wala ako takot ihataw, tiwala na ako sa engine nya. contrary ito sa pharagraph sa taas no? well i have a switch to select from tipid mode and hataw mode on my right foot.

dude...what year model ng lancer??

Bro my budget is for the models 1998-2001. Whichever is better. I know the latest year would be the best overall choice but I just want to know first the overall perfomance of the Lancer.... regardless of the year model. THANKS!

1. What are the common problems / sakit ng lancer?
- suspension, the usual wear and tear.

2. Price of maintenance parts - mahal ba or kayang-kaya?
- kayang-kaya...

3. Where to get ORIG parts aside from casa?
- nasabi na po ni glennster

4. Overall performance of the Lancer...
- i have a 9 yr old 1300cc engine, weak but very dependable. walang binigay na sakit ng ulo kahit sa simula pa lang. ok lang sya.
