i was looking at the i30 too, but in comparison, the lancer seems to be a much better car, plus i got a better deal from mitsu... the hyundai dealer refused to budge a lot from the price

one of the best looking cars on the road IMO

its features, its value, just make it a great car.

i spent about a month looking at both the Honda Accord Euro and the Lancer VRX & Aspire.

all are pretty cool cars IMO, but i think the lancer just edges the Accord in both price and looks :)

now that i have a lancer, i couldnt be happier with it :) just love it :)

Its the Grouse!!!

everything about it i love...
here are some more cool features...


The Smart key System is sooooo good!
The VRX has a sensor in the door handle to Open and small touch button to Lock your doors.
& to start the car there is a button in the ignition that you just turn to start the car normally.( all this with the smart key in your pocket ).

Touch Blinkers....to change lanes....blinker flashes 3 times.

Touch button for the boot(VRX)

+ the Digital Dash Display... is very unique....

Yeah i love the smartkey, its a cool idea. i took a VRX for a drive and fell in love. the only thing is that i wish it had a stat button, and not the cover over the ignition barrel. but i see its an option on the EVO so i wonder how hard it would be to wire in?
