I would say the dynamics disappoint a bit. Oh and the paint is so bloody thin it sucks... otherwise its all good :)

have you seen my commodore, the only thing i would kinda class as "bogan" would be the holden logo on the dash mat.

my car is very tastefully done up thank you very much. :evil: :evil: :evil:





























lol, i know your kidding, its all good.

but Lancer drivers to have that name though

Hmmm, what is there:

Interior plastics mark too easily, cheap looking when the exterior looks great.

Wish the ES got a leather bound steering wheel, will probably get this trimmed when/if I have some spare cash.

Gear knob too light, will replace this.

Thin paint (seems to be a norm these days on most cars).

No standard iPod functionality. I guess at least there is an AUX connection.

A little more body roll than I would like. Stronger/stiffer rear sway bar would have been good.

No centre console storage compartment lid, etc like the upper models. Hate the "hole in the back" look.

Hate the fact that three weeks after I get this car that the price has dropped even more on the car. It's now advertised at a $20, 800 drive away deal! :?

Car is still a top drive though.

Cannot use equaliser while vehicle in motion --> Please stop first to avoid an accident. :wink:
Cannot use full bluetooth capabilities while vehicle in motion --> Mobile phone activity is discouraged while driving.
Has ipod capabilities but needs $140 cable. --> Some people like wma files which the iPod cannot read. Just kidding, yeah spending extra annoys me as well.
No interior lights in back seats (get sunroof lose top interior light.) --> It's good for me as it discourages backseat driving, hahahaha.
Quiet indicators --> A lot of people complain about this, too.
small fuel tank --> If I remember correctly, the turbo Lancers hold 55 litres and the atmo ones 59. The previous Evos I think only swallow 48 litres.
But hell , it really moves and sticks to the road and I love it! --> I completely agree.

MY10 model has inner guards in rear wheelarches different to previous plastic. They are some kind of pressed fibre on mine so I havent found road noise too bad.

Horn not touchable with thumb while fingers on rim is an irritation and fuel consumption not flash tho hoping will improve when run in and synthetic Mobil 1 introduced. Power great tho - 210 on expressway without trying too hard- plenty more to go (downhill).
