Introducing Activ Dave

Postby Activ Dave » Mon Oct 01, 2012 6:42 pm

Evening all.
I've been in the Mitsubishi fraternity for a while now. I've owned 2 Magnas, dad has a Magna and mum has a mirage. I've loved Lancer's since I learned to drive in one 17 years ago.
Anyway, I couldn't go past the Mitsubish 0.9% finance offer, and when the dealer came to the party to match my budget I picked up a spangly Lancer Activ. This is my first ever new car, and I'm loving driving it - the car is much more alive than my Magna.

Real first name: David

Boat is exactly how I used to describe the drive of the Magna. Great car for putting stuff in and for towing stuff though. New chapter, new needs, and a lot more fun :)

The Magna has feather-light steering with no feedback at all, but I have to admit that the dash was better made than the CJ. Lancers have been very friendly to small families, so your little one is in for a nice ride.
