[Cammys_MR]

Hi guys,there are mix opinion on Lancer MR,anyway I've been to the showroom last saturday @ C & C Ubi with my wife hoping to look at small kia car.But later intro buy the SE to take a look @ Lancer MR.I was so blown away with the sporty black design.As we approach to look inside,my wife was please with the leather car seat and a MR logo embroided on the two front seat.As I seat on the front wheel,I was amaze with the speedometer design and the auto gear as it was called sporttronic.I'm a new buyer still doing some reaserch . We sat down to do some calculation as it within our budget,we decide to give it a try and now waiting for our coe bidding to go through.We did test drive,it glide pretty well.I tried the gear,it was so applicable when I change to manual with just a slight push. As I drive manual van,this come handy to my liking in picking up gear.So,I really need a genuine opinion on this Lancer MR,hope you guys can help.Thanks By the way,have not seen any Lancer MR on the road yet?

Hi there,need your opinion . With the short period of experience,I am sure there's alot more tips that you can share of the MR.Have you drive to Malaysia in the short period of collection of your MR?Do we need to run-in the engine before going for a long trip? How is the fuel consumption?I'm sure,in theory,auto pick-up can never match with manual.Have you tried the sportronic gear?What is the experience?Does it help to fufill the pick-up desire? What I like about the MR during the test drive, is the mix gear(auto & manual).I used to drive a manual,therefore,its kind of slow when I step the clutch but I cant judge much in the short period.The design look sporty especially the leather seats,speedometer,engine wise quite arrangeable and the price for a 1.6cc,quite affordable.I hope I have choose a good car for a beginner like me..thanks

The so call new Lancer MR is still the old Lancer GLX dated back to 2003. It is an old design already, outdated and noisy engine etc...

The local AD just change the speedo meter, seat and try to make it look new only.

It will be good buy if you consider 2nd hand, those 2006, 2007 model. The price is good. But for new car, not worth it.

If you really want to buy a new lancer, you should get the Lancer EX.

or maybe wait for proton waja (EX lookalike to be launched?)

[Cammys_MR]

Not helpful enough ,It doesnt matter as Ive been told it is a facelift from previous lancer glx but this is my first car to obtain within my budget. Lancer EX too expensive...any sponsor?

Waiting for it to reach our SG shores...

 

Hope the pricing would be priced correctly.... [laugh]

How much you paid for it? If the price is almost close to Kia Cerato Forte, I think cerato forte a better buy.

Not much "facelift".....

 

Almost the same as the old glx lancer.

Bro, congrats to your new ride

 

One of my Kaki has just gotten his GLX (M) from the AD too though it is not the MR model

 

Both the MR model & GLX shares the same platform and engine except for some cosmetic changes & a 'Tiptronic' gear box for the MR (Auto)

 

This engine is around more than 10 years of age and is reliable and gives a average FC of 12km/l minimum if i'm not wrong but of course this differs from driving pattern & mods

 

There are lots of performance mods available for this ride with even a legal full exhaust system called 'Drift Racing' which consists of the Cat, Header ... etc

 

Maintainance is not an issue and could be done at any workshop

My fren drives the GLX essentially the same car as the MR.

 

This design is very reliable, parts easily and cheaply available

 

and no mechanicals problems. Easy to service also

 

For a first car, it is a very good buy.

 

Is it still made in Japan?

Still made in Japan

 

It's a reliable workhorse

[Cammys_MR]

Thanks bro!,yes it is.What is the catch of having a japanese car? Do they have resale value compare to Korean car?

Agreed!

[Cammys_MR]

Thanks Bro!,you have clear some of my inconsistence thought of my MR.Is the design of the engine is almost 10 years or the engine itself is 10 yrs?

Need your opinion . With the short period of experience,I am sure there's alot more tips that you can share of the MR.Can I drive to Malaysia in the short period of collection of my MR?Do I need to run-in the engine before going for a long trip?
