What can you say about the new Lancer?

**bluesman68** · February 1st, 2003 12:30 PM

Was invited to its launch last night, but, wasn't able to come. I saw the brochure though...mukhang maganda...I think its priced at 840K with a 10K discount. Maganda ba sya? The interior, based on the brochure, looks excellent, don't know though how it actually looks like...

no ABS.

the lancer from evo1 to 3 were wild ideas by mitsu :lol: , then came evo4,5 & 6 wilder cars :mrgreen: that were very successful and now the new lancer cedia(evo7)...from wild to mild i wud say :oops: ... pero with the new cvt 6 speed tranny :twisted: ...well i think (hope so) that it will really live up to what mitsu claims...fuel economy...ok na kahit walang abs, it only comes into play during emergency/panic braking :shock: ...eh sa trapik sa manila saan ka mag pa-panic braking :wink:

Hi bluesman68!

I saw the actual car two weeks ago in Mitsubishi Motors Otis and i do find the car "cool". Interior design of the low-end models is also beige in color and it would only cost you P702k all-in. The front grill are made like the benz, its not a big car like the new altis and civic. Sayang walang "rose-red" na naka display that time. Cant really say if its a sporty or formal looking car but my friends say "formal" daw ang dating.

kaso nga lang, underpowered na naman po...

mas malakas pa yung dating 4g92 na lancer (previous gen) pero at least mataas torque :mrgreen:

dont like the front view and the feel of the steering wheel..medyo makanto yung manibela, imo..yung front naman should have had less chrome...baduy rin yung material ng grille nila...butas-butas na parang ridges...imo ulit...reminds me of the new sentra and new camry pa.

however, sa likod, gandang-ganda ako..also the 6 speed cvt transmission!!!:D yumyum

**roydok** · February 3rd, 2003 12:22 AM

Cool. :D

para sa 840k, they should've used disc brakes instead of just drums sa likod IMHO... :roll:

**mbt** · February 4th, 2003 01:13 AM

it definitely advances the state-of-the-transmission-art locally, which mitsu definitely deserves credit for. the interior is nice too, saw one up close at greenhills. but the styling isn't too striking, and the outsized grille in particular doesn't suit the car. on paper at least, the power isn't up to par with competitors (by 6 to 20 hp), though the CVT will probably help out.

personally, i'd take something else over it (like the Lynx, which you can have an M/T with the top-end trim level), but it should present stiff competition to the civic and altis (and others) especially because the Lancer undercuts those in price. i'd expect toyota and honda to add features or put out a promo if the Lancer sells well. consumer wins any way.

congrats to mitsu phil for bringing in CVT technology here...

hope that other car makers would follow suit...

**1D4LV** · February 4th, 2003 12:05 PM

bare yung likod. tsaka walang ABS.... drum type pa rin yung rear wheels.
on a scale of 1-10, i think i will give it a 7.5 because of the CVT transmission.

**booch27** · February 4th, 2003 12:17 PM

lancer cedia is the best transmission in its class but it is underpowered yet fuel economy. its for city driving class i may say, interior tops all!!! plus the 6speed CVT.
hope mitsubishi will soon release their all disc brakes with abs to top it all!
for its SRP 840k its too high from the features they are offering. they should produce higher version of the engine and its brakes.
Mitsubishi must release more features to top all its class!
its a family car!

sinakyan ko kanina sa showroom..ang sikip sa front parang ang baba ng ceiling, ang taas ng seat kahit nasa lowest postion at sobrang slope ng windshield...parang mas classy pa rin ang interior ng lnyx o sentra kahit mas masikip sa likod ang sentra...the exterior looks too plain and nothing to hoot about...

**pajerokid** · February 19th, 2003 10:23 PM

I think the lancer is purty!!!

Also, it has better proportions compared to the Altis and the Civic (which look too tall IMHO)

But i do agree that it should already have rear discs and a more powerful engine.... expect Mitsu to release a new trim level in a couple of years!!! Damn marketing people! I wish all people were engineers!!! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
