New Lancer price and areas for improvement

Hey guys,

Just curious about what everyone paid for their BRAND NEW lancers and what model of lancer is it?

What are 3 of the main weaknesses and faults with the car that you would like Mitsu to do something about.

For my red Ralliart i bought it when it first came out 2nd ever registered owner in NSW and I paid quite a bit for the privlege, $48,500 for the drive-away price but it did included $3000 worth of accessories, tint windows, premium paint protection blabh blah....

As for 3 things that really ticks me off:

    I hate the cheap plastics around the console area and their shit quality can really be embarassingly felt when driving on 6th gears especially on 50k/hr and the plastics all shaking and vibrating violently and making cracking noises due to the big torque hole of the car.
I hate the VRX style spoiler which blocks pretty much the entire rear view and I used to be pretty sharp in spotting coppers behind, but the wing has made this task so much harder now!!
    Lastly, I dont know if anyone else has raised this issue, the Distance to Empty screen SHOWS ----, when theres less than 50km of range left in the tank, but even my cousin's 04 Camry Azzura shows it all the way down to single digit range!!! Why can't my 08 Lancer do the same I wonder?? It would have given people so much more reassurances.

I don't know anyone who wouldn't trade their CJ for an Evo 8. Unless they had an RA or Evo X CJ.

You'd have to be retarded!

Now that I have seen the 10, I wouldn't like to get an 8 or 9. I don't like the interior....Outdated and ordinary.....But the ride and performance is raw and awesome!
