You can notice windscreen pitting early morning or late in the day when the sun is low in the sky.It looks like the windscreen has been sandblasted.

To be fair, that isn't really the cars fault. All my cars have ended up with pitted windscreens.

My CJ is on its 3rd windscreen and it is pitted too. The joys of freeway driving every day.

What grind my gears about the lancer...
– Road noise.
– Ultra thin paint that chips and scratches if you sneeze in the cars general direction.
– Drivers window only having an auto down feature and not auto up.
– The wipers operate very loudly (although, Mitsubishi have replaced my wiper arms under warranty and they seem to be quieter now).
– Not having auto folding wind mirrors standard.
– The keyless entry only "beeps" when you use the handle and not when you use the remote.

Some of these things I've noticed are being fixxed with the 2011 Lancer - not that that helps any of us.

The 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer , due in New Zealand in August, will be 20% quieter than its predecessor.

"Significant upgrades to insulation have made a very noticeable difference to sound intrusion," said MMNZ head of sales and marketing strategy Daniel Cook. "The improvements are in response to feedback from our customers and will have a direct improvement on occupant comfort."

Together with the sound reduction, the four-strong Lancer model range gains mechanical brake assist, which aids the driver in heavy braking situations, and automatic driver's window function. A further useful introduction is the programmable welcome home exterior lighting, which allows the driving lights to remain on for 30 seconds while exiting the vehicle.

All but the sports orientated VRX have received further refinements to suspension springs and dampers for a more comfortable ride. VR and VRX have a revised one-touch keyless entry system and larger side air dams give both variants a sportier look. VRX also receives a stereo USB port for external music players.



Even so, I still love my VRX.
I even spotted a 50+ year old guy in a R35 GTR checking out my VRX, I only noticed this as I was checking out his GTR :lol:

clean VRX rims for sale :) how much how much.

what i don't like: the auto window doesn't work for up just down, if you have a can in the cup holder and change gear you are likely to knock it out(big cans like mother and such), no proper handle to open the boot(just use my spoiler), stupid looking chrome tip(can see the bolt that holds it on and the stock tip is completely visable), dodgy tires, bad brake fade, that hollow sound when you tap the plastic
