Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia car review
General Lancer Cedia is a sedan of the 5th size (internal Japanese classification), which replaced the former Lancer/Mirage family.
The body has the following dimensions: length 4360 mm (for modifications with a large bumper of 4480 mm), width 1695 mm, height 1430 mm, wheeled base 2600 mm. Engines with a volume of 1.5 liters and 1.8 liters are installed with direct injection and a stray transmission. A 1.5-liter engine has a power of 100 hp. at 6000 rpm, torque 14.0 kg-m at 3500 rpm and fuel consumption 5.68 l/100km, and a 1.8-liter engine, respectively, 130 hp At 6000 rpm, 18.0 kg-M at 3750 rpm and 6.17 l/100km, i.e. On both engines, fuel consumption is very low.
In addition, the Touring sports configuration sets a 6-speed, underwear sports transmission of InVECS III. When using a sports regime, movement in a 6-speed manual transmission mode is possible.
This time, three modifications of 1.8-liter MX-S, a 1.5-liter SE-R and a 1.8-liter Touring were selected for running-in.
Mitsubishi does not get proudly repeated that the cabin is ensured that the enough space of the cab is ensured, and comfort does not cause complaints. The Lancer Cedia model emphasizes a new layout, in particular, a higher level of landing. True, although the level of landing is higher than in the previous Lancer/Mirage, the numerical value of this level is very modest. On the front seats, it is 505 mm from the ground.
But if you still bring one weak place in the Lancer Cedia, then this is probably a decoration. How simple and too careful it is, is just as clearly distinguished by insufficient effects. And if in the modification of Touring due to dark tones there is a very corresponding to the style of the machine atmosphere, then in other modifications it is somewhat scattered.
If you select Lancer Cedia as an inexpensive practical car, we recommend modification of 1500. The engine volume is 1,500 cubic meters. cm, power supply also does not arise special displeasure, and the use of a vast transmission allows you to experience a really smooth move. However, the most interest in the new model was still caused by a 6-speed, unacceptable transmission in the modification of Touring. This transmission, combined with an engine with a capacity of 1800 cubic meters with direct injection, successfully copes with the skillful work to switch speeds, differing in smoothness and accurate reaction. The enhanced chassis and tires are amazingly combined with high characteristics, which allows you to fully enjoy a pleasant sports movement. In addition, in the field of comfort, it is also not felt unjustified stiffness, and the toned chassis is more likely to give calm.
As a resume, we emphasize that if you prefer a low price and moderate comfort when moving, it is better to choose a modification of 1500, and if, in addition to a larger stock of dynamic characteristics, an elegant move is absolutely necessary, then choose a touring.
