Re: Mitsubishi Lancer 1.3
Had one for a week last year, nothing like them to get the adrenalin going when trying to accelerate onto the Arabian Ranches roundabout.

Re: Mitsubishi Lancer 1.3
A) My mini-moto is almost supersonic in comparison.
In fact i got out of the Lancer to take the bike out for a spin in Barsha, and the difference was unreal, it felt so much faster i thought i was going to bend space and time.
B)Try parking a silver Mitsubishi at the airport or mall, then find the right one again when you come back...nigh on impossible.
C) Crap build quality. the bodywork is so thin that supermodels are envious.
D) Because EVERYONE knows its a hire car, they treat you like a tourist/newbie and never let you out, cut you up and deliberatly sit on your tailgate knowing that you cannot go faster that 80kph
The only good thing about it,.............is that its really good on fuel

Re: Mitsubishi Lancer 1.3
Yup been there, done that, hated every minute.
Although i did take it back to diamond lease absolutely trashed so i got some satisfaction. Had three crashes in two months and I was stationary at lights each and every time, three green slips so no loss of deposit, the inspection guys face was a sight to behold. A classic intro to Dubai driving.
What got me was that when you put your foot down it gets louder but no faster. How they every got the evo series out of that I'll never know.
