Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ace" data-source="post: 2414926" data-attributes="member: 9997">I happen to jump in into this forum. Might as well copy my test report from another to here since there is little report here.Just test drive last night. Thought of putting in some report. Looks and build quality. I must salute to Japanese QC. As there isn`t any flaw I can find in the cabin area as all are well fitted nicely. Exterior fitments are well assembled. The car does looks different then photo. Much nicer. I quite agreed with SLMERC on this section. The spoiler isn`t that bad as you can still see the traffic via the rear view mirror. Althought it will take some time to get used to it. The napa leather seat and position is very very comfort. I was enjoying driving all the while. Performance, ride and handling, NVH. (test drove with 3 adults in car including me) The car handle the road really well as I blasted throught the road. The turning is very sharp with very quite respond to you. The ride is firm more on the hard side, but don`t get me wrong as if the car is hard like those car shoved with sports coil over. It still able to give you comfort ride when you cruising around town. The power of the car is amazing. I drove 1.8 civic before and I know that the civic will give initial blast of speed on stand still but pretty lag during the mid and top accelaration. (That wasn`t my prefered setup). The Lancer was different as mitshubishi enginner tune it such that the power delivery on the mid and top end is good. You can feel the accelaration is getting faster and faster as you go. Initial speed from stand still will incur some slight lag before the power comes. All this was done while on "D". Which I think was very suitable for ladies driver as this give them more assurance of not worrying the car will surge forward. Now here comes the fun part. Paddle shift! Is was a totally difference exprience once you engage the paddle shift mode as the ecu will sense it by just pulling the paddle on the left to downshift (this will give you intance respond)or pull the paddle on the right for 1 second. This will prepare your car on paddle shift mode. The accelaration on sports mode is really fun. The simulation of 6 speed was very real. The power delivery is fast right from the "1" gear. The downshift was fun as the car will respond pretty quick preparing you for accelaration. This is really adrenaline pumping. I managed to hit 140KM/H before runing out of road. The brake was very very impressive. bring down the car from high speed is just a matter of seconds. The SA was struggling behind when I did the brake test from 120KM/H. hehe feel sorry for him. The cabin was very silent even when the car hit 120Km/h. I hardly can hear the engine noise during traffic junction when the car is idle. the exhaust note was very evident. I did solve one of the problem mentioned by some forummer where he said there is some tin can noise alike. It is actually vibration from the exhaust tip hitting the tip decorator. (I found out is was just installed with 2 screw against the exhaust tip. Removing it will solved the "tin" sound problem). As for the engine, the sound is music to me. When the mivec is engaging you could hear the roar which pump your heart even faster. Exhaust note is pretty loud during the full accelaration. I discover it was the boot that need some insulation property like those Dynamatt coupled with wool carpet will solved it. I found that the only insulation from the car is just a thin carpet. Must be Mitshubishi R&D engineer trying too hard to reduce the weight. I impressed with the handling as it handle high speed very well. With hard braking in and then full accelaration in the process, the car didn`t jitter or vibrate at all. the body of the car is very stiff and strong. During full braking the car hardly sway or vibrate. Thumbs up for the Mitshubishi R&D. Well, this sums up my report for the Lancer GT test drive. I`m really satisfied with the car and because of this I handover my booking fee to my SA</blockquote>
