Lancer Ex 2.0

[Singaporesiao]

Hi all bros n sis,

 

Any feedback for the lancer EX 2.0 GT? Is it very noisy or high FC or underpower... etc...

 

Quite interested in this car and I saw afew 2nd hand ex 2.0GT in sgcarmart.

 

Thank you for any feedback given. cheers!

not so bad lah as previous comment, IMO nois and FC is decent for 2.0L, if compare to Civic 2.0, a bit underpower coz heavy body[lipsrsealed]

if not particular reason, Civic 2.0 still is the top choice , right now even price Civic also quite competitive

[Luckycar98]

What is the price difference between the two rides ?

[Singaporesiao]

2nd hand 2.0 ex and 1.5 ex only afew K diff... how come 2.0 ex depreciate so fast...?

 

 

2.0 ex oso cheaper by 5k compared to 2.0 civic... at least for 2nd hand market...

locals usually prefer the lower capacity engine variant, for savings on road tax/fuel.

[Darth_mel]

Actually it is a false savings.

 

Whatever you saved on road tax is negated by having stepping harder to drag the heavy car body forwards, thus using more fuel. Unless you are the kind who travels 60-60km/h all the time.

 

LPPL in the end IMO.

 

A decent power-to-weight ratio is more desirable.

buyers seeking big car category either want face e.g. Honda Accord/Toyota Camry.( Luxurious styling and big road presence) or seek sporty performance e.g. JDM CTR/Golf GTi/Accord Euro Type R (Good handling/ample power to weight ratio)

 

Where does the Mit Lancer 2.0 fits in? Target market segment too narrow. Hence 2nd hand market for Mit Lancer 2.0 is kaput.

i read somewhere else in the forum that CnC supposedly imported a new batch of Lancers that had the noise problem rectified.

 

on another note, i had the privilege of listening to the rev notes of Corolla Altis/Nissan Sunny/Subaru Impreza TS/Mit Lancer 1.5 Ex while i was washing car at MSCP. They came in one after another and so i paused to listen while they revved up to climb the slope.

 

Conclusion: Mit is indeed the loudest. Not sporty but rather like a powerboat when engine is revving.

 

Heard from other bros who test drove this car that they were able to hear this as well. Apparently hood soundprooding is also abysmal.

Agree, I have heard many complaints from owners driving the Lancer EX that the sound proofing really very bad, can hear the engine noise very loudly compared to Lancer GLX.

[Watwheels]

Huh? I thought 2.0L one is called Lancer GT, EX is the 1.5L.

[Picanto]

i think all LANCER got sound proofing issues. nevertheless its still a good car. no car can be perfect one.

[Singaporesiao]

I think Lancer EX is a good car too... but seems like many people telling me the 1.5 version no power... so if im not a racer wannabe... can i get the 1.5 EX??
