Lancer 1,8 Petrol Saloon Auto

Good but not perfect

Comfortable, good performance on long runs, just about adequate boot.

Good petrol consumption but some niggles.

Gets a lot of comment, mostly positive. Spoiler especially loved by Cornish seagulls!

Value-engineering has meant that many switches are unlit, glove box unlit.

Visibility impaired because of the rear spoiler. 5ft wife can't see out of rear window (I know, change wife!).

Lack of rear wipers also a problem because rain lays on window and does not clear.

18" tyres generate lot of road noise which is intrusive.

The indicator "clicking" level is low and because the switch does not always return to the off position after manoeuvring circumstances arise where the indicator is still flashing and this can go unnoticed leading to other drivers assuming you are turning. I appreciate this is a driver issue but it is an issue.

Mitsubishi sent me a 2008 DVD to upgrade to 2008 mapping. Took an 80-mile journey for it to load (supplier via dealer foc.) Logic of the sat nav not easy to comprehend, especially POI function. Much head scratching.
