Just curious, if I could turn back time i would of bought a black SX, love the wing and didn't realize it had that many features. Ad chrome bits work well on black. What would you guys do if you had the chance to buy another lancer?? Buy the same model or colour??

Ermm I was pretty happy with my car.
I couldn't wait for the Aspire which was due in 3 months + 2 weeks delivery. Was starting work the week after I bought the car.
I do wish my Olympic Edition came with a factory sunroof though.


I don't impulse buy so perhaps therein lies the reason for me rarely regretting my mods.

And as for buying another Lancer, I wouldn't say never again but not this same shape. I can't imagine taking a loss on my car then plonking more money in to buy the same car in the same shape. Perhaps the next generation Lancer I might buy. But I'm really looking to experience as much in life as possible, so a new badge and new shape would be welcomed.

I sometimes wish I had of bought a blue sedan instead of my grey sportsback. but then i see them EVERYWHERE and I like that, when all my mods are finished (never gonna happen) that mine will be unique cause i dont see a lot of modded grey sportsbacks.

im glad i got the activ. it was in my price range and had a lot of good features that the ES doesn't have.

Probably should have waited for the MY11 for the folding mirrors, but not a big thing...

Definitely would have saved a packet with sound system upgrades if I knew back then, what I know now.

@craigeth yeah blue is very Popular but grey is a good colour easier to wash and maintain and keep clean :)
