New Mitsubishi Lancer Owner Review



Hi. I'd like mention about my second Mitsubishi car, New Lancer, today. First one was Colt. I'm plannig to write down something about Colt in following days.

Here is some of the car's specs.:

- 1499 cc Mivec gasoline engine (same the 1.5 version Colt has), 109 Hp, 147 Nm Torque

- 4 speed Invecs II Automatic Gearbox

- 9 airbags (driver and passenger front airbags+driver and passenger side airbags+front curtain airbags+rear curtain airbags+driver knee airbag)

- ESP+ASR

- Alloy wheels (added at local service)

- front and side airdam (added at local service)

- rear elegant spoiler (added at local service)
- front fog lamps (added at local service)

- Bluetooth handsfree telephone kit

- i-pod connection

- leather covered steering wheel

- Radio+CD/mp3 player auido system with 6 speaker

- window tint (applied at Ziebart)


I know it's engine (with automatic transmission) not very common. The engine suprisingly provide enough power. The spec. chart says max. speed is 178 km/h, but I hit 190 km/h easily. Altough it's 0-100 km/h acceleration time is disappointing, intermediate values are stifying. It's OK. But my first priority is not performance. My priorities are safety, fuel economy, confort, performance and look. Maybe the most powerful side of the is its' look. (I must confess, I adore its' look. ) Anyway, "the fuel economy". It is havier, has bigger engine and less efficent transmission system than my previous car colt. But it only consumes 1 litre more per 100 km. (Below 8,5 L/100km combined, it hits the factory value). My It's amazing. And sure , its' transmission system is more comfortable. No gaps between gears.

You may ask, isn't there anything to complain about? Of course there are:

- No cruise control (it is general complaint, not mine. I'm genarally used my car in urban)

- No manuel gear change option with automatic gearbox

- The stock tires (Dunlop 2050 SP Sports). I don't happy with their performance

- In car engine and road noise level isn't good. I like the mivec engines' sound at high revs. anyway. But, when you drive faster than 120 km/h you you can hear wind sound from windows.

When you think about my priorities all the complaints are comfort connected (except tires but it's avoidable. I can change my tires whenever I want). These complaints aren't exist Intense and Insytle packages. They have 1.8 L 143 hp mivec gasoline engine with 6 speed (with magnesium paddle shiters) CVT gearbox option or 2.0 L 140 Hp VW diesel engine with 6 speed manual gearbox. (1.8 L manuel and 2.0 diesel verisons aren't available in my country, Turkey)

Thanks for your time.

Vialle Lpi User Review

Hi, Because of the latest petrol prices in my country and higher needs of use my car, I've finalized the searh for an alternative by having Vialle lpi system on my car. The firm, Vialle, is a Netherland based alternative fuel company. Lpi (liquid prophane injection) system based on injecting lpg to cylider blocks. It has some advantages againts sgi systems: - No power and tourque loss. It is capable to produce more power and torque than petrol injetion. But, in order to prevent mechanical problems, it's detuned. - There isn't evaporator part. Then, it swicth to lpg faster than sgi systems. Engine cooling water temparature isn't very important to system. And naturally, there is no need to cut the engines' cooling system pipes to connect evaporator. - No backfire risk. - No periodic maintanence (filter change etc.) or re-tune. System isn't effected from weather contudions (humudity, temperature etc.) or location. - It is programmed seperately to every car and engi

My Subaru Levorg 1.6 GTS CVT review

Resim
  Hello. It's been a long time to write something again. It can be said that not only a lot of time, but also the variety of cars I have owned since my last review. The last time I had a 2013 Honda Civic HB 1.6 i-dtec Sport car, and on top of that, the 2009 Honda Accord 2.0 AT Executive, 2015 Subaru Levorg 1.6 CVT GTS, 2013 Subaru Outback 2.0 D CVT and finally the furry shop like the 2016 Honda Civic HB 1.6 i -dtec Sport (the lalest makeup version) I had a return to the vehicle. If I have time, I will deal with these in turn. Pros: + High hardware + Successful CVT + Satisfactory performance   Cons: - It's hard to get fuel under control. - Sound system - The sound of CVT at high revolutions suppresses the sound of the boxer engine   Exterior Design:   The vehicle is Subaru's first vehicle to be released with the design language that we can call the new design language. It is made for the intercoller called a scoop on the hood and has detail that is

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Test Drive

Resim
We (me and some other lucky mitsubishi customers) were at Ataturk Olympic Park to test Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (White Shark). The test car was MR TC-SST (6 speed twin-clutch automatic transmission) version with stock 295 Hp 2.0 L turbo engine. Becuse of the events aim (to show the cars' limits) we didn't drive the car. We sat on the front passenger car while our rally champion driver Serkan Oztemir driving. After our test drives, some actual evo owners tried to show their cars' limit. But eventually, they showed importance of the driver or lack of their driving skills. Anyway I added some pics. and a shortened video.
