Dear All,
I'm currently driving and semi-owning a Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0GT since 2009 and had put 250k km's on this little fighter. It's used to be my dad's spare car and from its acquisition until now, i am the sole driver of this vehicle. I'd literally survived 2 times heavy crash in this car, luckily 2 crashes doesn't involve another cars as the happening is due to my mishandling of the car when cornering (i'd oversteered TWICE in a freaking FWD). Long story short, the car has lots of history with me throughout my youth and growing up. All maintenance and mods. i'd spent about 12k on it already and i can say the drivetrain is in perfect shape except for cosmetics, i am too lazy to make them in perfect look.
Now I was offered by my dad to return the Lancer to him and hand me over an Audi A6 C6, 2007 version with 136k kms. The car is rarely travel outstations and only used to go in KL or Ipoh once in a year. It's been with us for 12 years now and the car's condition is equally good as Lancer, except the looks of the car looks much better due to its rarity of going out. Car has not seen any serious maintenance issues besides changing the electric water pump which cost us MYR 1,500 smackers. Other wear and tear is almost similar to Lancer, except some engine parts which i still haven't discover. No dread oil leaks issue like some Euro cars are notoriously known of.
Honestly speaking, i think i am too emotional attached to my Lancer, felt very hard to let it go. So if you guys are in my shoe, what would you choose?
Thanks,
Ken
