Pocus Turbocharged March 22, 2017 Share March 22, 2017 I remember back then, there are two version of this lancer, 1.5GDI and 1.6GLX. But i dont know what is the difference between these two? Lol.GDI = Gasoline Direct Injection. Yes, Mitsubishi is one of the first in japan to have a DI engine in production and selling to mass market. However the first generation direct injected engine suffer problems with with frequent engine failures at the later part of its lifespan. Some component will crack with the replacement costing thousands. It's just not suitable with our ron98 fuel. That's why this model die a fast death and you would see older COE lancers driving around our roads than to see this "lost generation" of lancers... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theoldjaffa Hypersonic March 22, 2017 Share March 22, 2017 Can't really find a good angle to take the picture of my car, finds that the front and interior still looks not bad then. IMG_8920.JPG IMG_8687.JPG very nice interior. the current Merc interior is one of the best around. i am a sucker for nice steering wheels! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic March 22, 2017 Share March 22, 2017 (edited) Sadly this is one of two shots I have of my Astra... drove this in all four seasons, climbed real mountains with it, drove from Sydney to Great Ocean Road.. It was a wonderful period of my life, spent working and studying in Oz.. Bought it online at drive.com.au, saved 8k, and it was a nice drive, stable on highways, decent FC and good power. Only 4 speed, but sweet drive and a comfortable car to lap up the miles. Edited March 22, 2017 by therock 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i find the GLX drives better than the GDI version on this lancer. Anyway, this lancer was quite popular as you would see many people driving one.

Hussaini20 3rd Gear March 22, 2017 Share March 22, 2017 Finally bagged this beauty for AUD6k on the right. The one on the left belongs to my relative (I can't afford that ). After paying up their transfer fee and rego, It's good to go. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because they used to all have their own unique identity. Now everyone's trying to make cars that want to do everything, end up so many cars drive similarly. Also much less regulations and rules concerning vehicle dimensions for safety, so designers had more free reign to give cars their own identity.
