What DONT you like about your Lancer?

[belle_tb_ES]

My BFs car does it all the time.

See, partly why i don't have a RA/Evo. It's not just about affording the car itself, but also the EXTRA costs involved in taking care of it IE servicing.

expensive to service
dash rattles way too much
seats are poor quality
expensive aftermarket parts

Don't forget insurance!

If I were to purchase an Evolution X in the next couple of years, I'd have to pay around $4,000.00 for insurance.

[MrLolli]

too plastic like the dash

The insurance cost isn't really the car's fault ..........Mine only costs me $600 a year.

The insurance is at least partially the car's fault - your car is pretty much new, and no doubt your quote was obtained prior to driving the car out of the dealership. The older a car is, the higher the premiums. I found that out when I got quoted something like $1,500-$2,000 on a brand new $70,000 car, then $3,000 or so on a ~10 year old $15,000-$20,000 BMW 3-Series.

Notwithstanding the above ... $600.00! On full registration (i.e. not 90 day club permit)? Are you trying to elicit the ire of all the P platers on here
Oh well, that's how a good driving history and not being labelled a 'hoon' will reward you.

Same. P platers can suck it up Even as a 20yo with a turbo Skyline in Sydney it cost me no more than $2000, so if you need to pay more than that its your own fault!

[jordan.fuchs]

My Lancer would cost me about $2,200 if it was in my name.. I have no driving history, just a 19yo P Plater

Not sure if anybody else has these problems but here are mine on my 2009 Lancer ES hatch.
- glove box is a little small
- No front cabin lights only the middle
- a little loud but i can deal with it
- Mine doesn't have the steering wheel audio controls
- For some reason, my pick up speed isn't that great. Like it seems to struggle to get from 1st gear into 2nd gear staying at about 3 rpm for a few seconds before clicking over. (mines an auto, please no hate! haha)

[Lancer09]

Do i need to turn battery off first? or can i just go ahead and get stuck into it?

I also can't find anywhere to get them, all the wreckers i've asked want me to buy the whole steering wheel

I dislike that the cup holder can only hold cans and not 600ml bottles or other water bottles.. ;P but i guess that's why they put the bigger cup holders in the door

that's my only complaint really... :S
