What DONT you like about your Lancer?

[Mitch]

i dont like the centre dome light in the interior because it is too dull you cant see anything properly at night especially when you need to read a map or find something inside the car

[PsyTrix]

The new rattles that seem to show up every week and the over all bad quality build and cheap plastic feel on the inside of the car.

Thats because you only got an ES

maplights are awesome, just ask any VR upwards owner haha

[liam92]

The rattles that seem to procreate daily
The interior plastics that seem both cheap and very easily scratched (thinking about having them painted by a body shop?)
The strange noise the engine makes, rather than growling it sort of purrs
The way the gear box occasionally chucks a mental when trying to get into first or reverse
The dodgy foam sides on the seats that have all but collapsed
The zero visibility from the wing
The non auto up windows and the fact that they scratch tint badly
The super thin paint
The annoying acceleration lag under 3000 RPM

Oh and the fact its a cop magnet, 5 random breath tests in the first month of ownership.. Hopefully not a sign of things to come

Great Scott liam92! I think you basically just nailed it.. I most indubitably concur.

[sleeper]

gotta be turbo lag ,
thats all though.
i dont have those other problems yet in the RA.

[BR14AN]

the annoying thump when i drive straight just after the car has started, The one that mitsu claim they cannot hear

i have this aswell! what the heck is it?! its really disconcerting

[vr]

I hate the way the windscreen has pitted. I have a RX and a VR and both are the same. Mitsubishi will not cover under warranty? The RX has 13000 klms and is worse than the VR which has 43000Klms

It's something to do with the ABS or Airbag circuitry setting itself. It is competely normal. My other car ('01 Commodore) also does it.


What is windscreen "pitting" I haven't heard of that before?

Do you live near the beach? Any idea what causes it?

Airbag system self test and arming of the system ready to go off as you move in case you need it. Sounds more like a loud bassy click than a thump. Normal.

It's probably been mentioned before... but I really don't like how the audio switch WON'T switch between my preset stations....

[jamie885]

Rattles, readio presets dont scan with the steering wheel controls, fuel consumption resetting, no auto on headlights when unlocking the car

[DJBOOBY]

it in the manual section 4 page 59
ABS making a self check
