CHARACTERISTICS MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION

Opinion about Mitsubishi Lancer 10 Evolution

A very attractive model is Mitsubishi Lancer 10: a modern design, stylish optics, a radiator grille is rejected back, a stupid back. However, the used car needs to be chosen extremely gently.

Exterior

LCP Lancer, alas, no particular durability (ailment of all inexpensive Japanese). Therefore, if you contact the car inactiously, then after three months the car will look like a three-year one. The case in our climate, the absence of professional mastery of car wash, non-accurate operation. The hosts are often cleaning in the winter of rude brushes and so only scratch it. Especially distinguishable flaws on dark flowers. Therefore, the best white LCP.

Before buying, I advise you to check the bottom of the arches of the door, they can be erased, since they have no protection. Also inspect the joints between the wings and the roof racks, the position of the hood, bumpers, the lids of the luggage compartment.

Also, the junction curves can be on the bottom of the rear bumper. If so, then the car is broken. Check the radiator. Due to the too wide cells of the radiator lattice, the pebbles fall into the radiator and leave dents on it. You can focus on this attention and bring down the price of cars by 20,000 rubles.

Pay attention to optics. On plastic headlights may be scuffed and small chips. Bracked headlamps indicate that Lancer fell into an accident.

I advise you to check fog letters to the bumper - they will easily break. As for the fog lamps, the following problem is possible: a reflective device burns. It is also possible to knock down the price of the car. If xenon is delivered, then it is necessary to check the location of the ignition headlights. It must be located below the block headlights. If not, it means that the Master of the Master "Skillful Hands" was set, which performed poor quality. Also check the functioning of light, its operation when the magnetic is turned on. As for the rear headlights, the widespread problem is burning internal central overall lamps.

Salon

On the ceiling can be dorms, slots. If they are, it means that the ceiling was removed. It could be done either in order to improve sound insulation, or to install the extra (good option), or it was necessary when repairing the car body. I will stop separately on the steering wheel - rings on the hands of drivers clinging the cover of the steering wheel. The upholstery of the seats does not cause anything, a neat attitude - and there will be no problems. There may be gaps between tidy and console. If so, maybe it changed.

Engine, suspension, transmission

In view of the novelty of the model of information about serious problems, I do not have, except for a possible failure of CVT. I recommend paying special attention to the diagnostics of the variator, the cost of the unit is from 60,000 rubles. Brake discs can disturb. If they dramatically slow down, and then drive around the pool - the form of the disks will change (Lancer's disease). You can check it only on a test drive: when you click on the brake, the trembling is in the steering wheel. I advise you to inspect the status of stabilizative racks: if they are very weak, then they can be twisted on the uhab. If the anthers of the shrusers are faulty, then you need to change them - another reason to reduce the price of the car.

From transmissions you can expect any surprises. There are the following types of boxes: MCPP (all motors), automatic transmission (1.5 l), CVT (1.8- and 2-liter motors).

The most problem is automatic transmission. If the warranty period does not expire, it makes sense to digitize it in the cabin. I do not know how MCPP and CVT behave when the guarantees are no longer. Note, replacement of a manual box - 190,000 rubles., CVT - 450,000 rubles.

I note that the durable motors are not delivered. It will never be superfluous to check the engine condition on a good one hundred. Prevention is always better than buying new spare parts and repairs, especially since they are very expensive for Lancer.

Test Drive

Noise isolation is practically absent. All that can be buzzing: Arches, motor (by 1.5 automatic transmission). This is a disease Lancer. Some make extrapouzing. But to the end, to overcome this ailment will not be able to.

On the test road, pay attention to the following points: the machine's ability to keep the trajectory, condition of the steering wheel, the operation of the motor, clarity when braking, the hum of chassis. Also, do not forget about all the lamps, the opening of the hood and the lid of the luggage compartment (opening cables). Check the radio. By the way, the radio on Lancer is not at the height. As for the goal, if there is a small mileage on the speedometer, and the body is not in the best condition, then you are deceived. There is such a trick: if you put another tidy in the car, then the speedometer will show the car mileage from which the panel is removed !!!

Mitsubishi Lancer has many advantages, the first of which is a stylish design. But once again I want to emphasize before buying a hundred, check the condition of the car.
