Hi everyone!

I've been looking for a new car to get since the time my Lancer was stolen, and I came across the latest offers on the Mistubishi website.

I was looking at the Lancer Activ here:
http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com.au/buy ... est-offers


It mentions the features are:

16" alloy wheels
ACTiV badge
Chrome muffler tip
Ralliart front bumper and grille
Voice activated Bluetooth 2.0 ®
Side air dams
7 airbags
High rise spoiler
Leather steering wheel with audio/phone controls
Active Stability Control
Active Traction Control



Does anybody know if this is just it or are there other features included for example, reversing camera or gps?


thanks!

If they had the reverse camera and GPS, they wouldn't be able to sell VRXs at A$33K+

Thats almost an SX with side skirts and RA front grille.
Absolute bang for buck! Can't get better than this..!!

Just saw an ad for the Lancer Activ for $21,888/- DA for a manual. Not sure about metallic paint though. But if you bargain hard you can get it included with a few other things that you like.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

If I get the Activ I'd probably order it with reverse sensors. Are they cheap?

The Activ looks like it has round foggie spots as well. It doesn't say foggies but there are actual spots for them.

The Platinum is almost the same but doesn't have the RA grill and that. It has heated leather seats and the reversing camera.

And it's advertised at $21888 for the manual. That's usually for the white one. Metallic is usually $450 more. Not an issue with most of the manufacturers now because even their whites are metallic.

High rise spoiler?

I'm curious, what spoiler is that one? The SX style, or the VRX style?

I think it's the same as the SX spoiler

Just picked my Lancer 2012 ACTiV LIMITED EDITION MODEL on Thursday will post pics of the Spoiler as soon as I can.

What they have listed on the Mitsubishi website for the new ACTiV is all you get.

I just got back from the dealer and ordered one. It's based on the ES model so you get everything in the ES plus those extras listed.
Got it with a reverse camera too.


Can't wait for it!
