Thought the Lancer EX now is consider new model? Last time was 1.5L right, and now is 1.6L?!

 

Change engine only not new model lah.

 

For example

 

Merc C Class - W204 change so many engines ... 1.8 Supercharged to 1.6 Supercharged to 1.8 Turbo back to 1.6 Supercharged and to 1.6 Turbo. At least 5 different engines but still same model.

I guess, Cat A is 48-51k. Cat B 50-53k.

 

OK, exact number is A - 50k, B - 51k.

You also guess the coe for Cat A would come down in tomorrow coe? Really unbelievable. Lol.

The current 1.6 EX model was launched about 6 years ago in 2010, after the demise of the 1.5 CS3 Lancer.

About a year or so thereafter, C&C stopped selling Mitsubishi cars (assigning it to its sister company - distributing Hino commercial vehicles) ... only to relinquish the brand back to its fold recently.

Didnt know the 1.6L lancer already launched 6 years ago?! Although this lancer seems a bit outdated model, but i sat in one before, not a bad ride lo.

My son crashed his CS3 Lancer back then, and was provided a courtesy car - the then-new Lancer EX to drive.

 

I had thus driven both and thought that the CS3 handled better (being a smaller car, with a shorter wheelbase), albeit with a less powerful, older engine.

 

But both Mits were still 'floaty' lah ... until he changed to the KIA Rio HB. A world of difference re handling, especially around bends!

If I not wrong C&C that time gave up mitsubishi to Fulco because they want to concentrate selling citroen cars which they took over the distributorship during that time. I went down to Fulco to view their CS3 1.6, there is no CS3 1.5 as you mentioned. I only know sg last time have CS2 which has a 1.5 GDI engine ard year 2001.

 

Fulco is C&C's dealer & they nv sell any hino trucks. Hino trucks belongs to Toyota & it is only sold by Borneo motors or sin tien seng.

There is no definite way of identifying a Grab or Uber car but having LCR at the bottom of the number plate is almost a giveaway.

 

Personally... I think there is an element of "paiseh-ness" to let others know that it is a rental car instead of personal car. :blink:

I'm already starting to cultivate a dislike for Attrages and Vezels. The LCR drivers suck especially those younger one.
