Evening all.
I've been in the Mitsubishi fraternity for a while now. I've owned 2 Magnas, dad has a Magna and mum has a mirage. I've loved Lancer's since I learned to drive in one 17 years ago.
Anyway, I couldn't go past the Mitsubish 0.9% finance offer, and when the dealer came to the party to match my budget I picked up a spangly Lancer Activ. This is my first ever new car, and I'm loving driving it - the car is much more alive than my Magna.
Real first name: David

Boat is exactly how I used to describe the drive of the Magna. Great car for putting stuff in and for towing stuff though. New chapter, new needs, and a lot more fun
Welcome to the club mate! YAAAAY someone that lives near me! Hope you enjoy surfing around for tips and advice and see you around at the cruises that get organised.
Also congratulations on your new child.

The Magna has feather-light steering with no feedback at all, but I have to admit that the dash was better made than the CJ. Lancers have been very friendly to small families, so your little one is in for a nice ride.
