CY lancer (08 lancer)

[VW_Exec]

Just for comparison, a friend of mine in Canada recently purchased (imported from US) a CY Lancer. She got the DE (Whatever that badging means) model at CAD$22,000.00 (2.0 Litre, MIVEC, etc.) all taxes, freight included!

Check this, they also have 5 years unlimited service period with free roadside assistance and free oil changes etc. along with a 10 year overall warranty/ or 160,000 km.

Pretty much gives you an idea of that:

#1. We really get a raw deal on car prices here
#2. There is market confidence (and dealer) that the build quality is lasting

But I guess that's what you can expect in a Banana Republic...

stupess cah even get the mats

not even in barbados (e-mail i got from them)

Hi Ryan,



Unfortunately, because of the prohibitive cost and import duties, we also do not import these items.

We use a universal fit mat set instead.

I’m sorry we can’t be of assistance at the moment.





Best Regards,

Robert Gibson
Manager - Parts Department

So guys, how is the mileage on the 1.5 mivec?
Is it comparable to the corolla?

[VW_Exec]

i get between 475 and 550km per fill up (avg. $140-$145 - when green indicator comes on to REFUEL). the lower number was with me stomping on the pedal and assumed South to North to South runs daily.

I now live closer to work (literally), so i cant check mileage, so i check time. A tank lasts me approximately 14-16 days and this is strictly inner-city driving.

I believe one of the older NZE models had consistent 500+ km / fill up numbers. I have no idea what the newest Corolla does.

I believe once you drive fairly consistent (keeping rpms under 5,000rpm), this motor (4A91) is fuel efficient.

(On a side note, I believe the manual has crappy fuel consumption at sub-30mpg noted for the 4A91 engine), subject to correction!

Anyone has experiences with the 4B11 engine they'd like to share? Output, performance, consumption etc?

[Corollaman]

Thanks for the feedback bro!

[Corollaman]

And on another note, can someone recommend me a salesperson from Diamond Motors San F'do? I'd rather goto someone who will give me decent service, rather than the first salesperson I happen to meet.

[venum]

^^^ sean in south

[ronsin1]

^^^ me ent know yuh wukkin' Diamond Motors

[bOOsTmaN]

The new corolla has the same exact engine as the model before.. so i guess gas consumption should be the same.

As for the 4b11 engine i fine it does bun gas. Especially if you wanna drive in AC whole day, everyday.
An the driver of this 4b11, she doh drive slow. she does let the car feel it...

sorry but i can't avg how long a full tank lasts, car is refueled before quarter tank

but at 3 tons and just a 140hp engine (at crank) with CVT, is it really as nimble as claimed?

I just have my doubts hence the reason i opted for the standard fit (1.5)engine. To me, 30hp more for $60K difference (at that time), didnt make sense, the test vehicle i drove (4b11) was not really impressive.

Also, can anyone confirm whether Mitsubishi was generous enough to employ MIVEC on both cams? or just the intake?
I was reading up that the EVO IX had the MIVEC on intake whilst the EVO X had both camshafts responding.

any ideas?

[bOOsTmaN]

nimble??? far from..

the only way you get the desired response is from teh tipTronic mode.
