NEWBIE - SAVING UP FOR LANCER - TenaciouS

[ofey]

For about 20K, you cold only get a SX new.

2nd hand you could pick up a MY08 VRX or Aspire possibly. But it'd probably be pretty high kms.

[TenaciouS]

Second hand you might find a VRX but i dont think you will find an Aspire.

Remember the MY08 VRX only has a 2.0L engine too.

is the 2.4L engine more agressive than the 2.0L?

[aspir3]

It has 124kw compared to the 2.oL 115kw

yeah true, probably just have to look real hard and save up abit more than 20k... is the sx any good?

You should check out the Mitsubishi website for the comparison chart; it'll show you what the feature differences are side by side and you can see what may or may not be important to you.

Engine wise, from my knowledge, all the models are the same, until you get to the VRX which has the 2.4L engine and other slight performance differences, like suspensions.

Have you gone to the dealership yet to check them out in person?

If the engine capacity doesn't bug you then a MY11 VR should be your choice.

The only feature you cannot retrofit is the smart key.
An MY11 VR has folding mirrors and the smart key system.

Almost everything else, you can upgrade as you go along... .

isnt CVT like a manual without the cluth

and i know the VRX CVT comes with paddle shifters

Constantly Variable Transmission has no gears. 'Gears' in CVT are artificial ratios to simulate gears, but in its standard mode it doesn't simulate gears.
