There are a number of things Mitsubishi put on their cars but dealers have no idea how they work, let alone serviced. Until now, the ACD in the RA is being advertised as being able to change front/rear torque bias at the push of a button, which is completely wrong.

They are massaging an outdated design with stuff that isn't really necessary. Steering reach adjustment would have been the one welcome change in the CJ's final year.

The ESS is pretty handy just because it increases response time of drivers behind you. think about it.. you see a whole heap of flashing lights right in front of you, arent you inclined to stop too? also I'm not sure about what other dealers do when they go through cars with you, but when it comes to me I make sure i go through everything..

I thought that happened as part of the Tarmac/Gravel/Snow adjustment? - not user-selectable of course...

Would love to have those side mirror indicators, I'll give you that.

This miiiiight be able to help with them selling more, but who knows really.
The changes are pretty good IMO ('sides from the VRX - XLS line name conversion, cmon..).

It's a shame though that we don't have the same features as the US models... I really would've loved seeing an N/A Lancer with AWD here. >.>

Dunno. By the time the AWD goes in, the car weighs over two tonnes - wouldn't be very quick with the standard engine - a VRX (not a fan of the XLS tag) would pull it off though...

Yeah would've preferred them to be on a GSR/VRX if they did do it.

No. THey had no MY14.5 RA's in white when I ordered, so they said to wait for the MY15 to come in... which should be this month...

I guess I'm gonna have to wait a couple of years until Thorsten sells his before I get a MY15... :-)

I won't be surprised if there all pre sold, there will be no more RA's after just like the Evo :cry:

I wish I could afford to upgrade my RA to new or even better an Evo (never thought I'd say that being a RA lover but I got the bug after driving the Twatty Evo)

Its a big difference between Sal's Evo, and a stock Evo... Honestly, if you got yours tuned, and start making some mods, you wouldn't bother with the Evo
