jlote 1st Gear August 12, 2019 Share August 12, 2019 Hi, I am looking for an SUV to replace my current one. My current one is a guzzler but thats most probably i didnt do much research when i bought it 3 years ago. A 1.2T engine cannot support a heavy car especially i am doing 80% city driving. No prizes for guessing which car i am driving now. Believe me, i am doing about 8km/L :( Need experts' help here. Will a 1.5L like the EC help my fuel consumption in view of my driving pattern considering the 80% city driving? I am definitely not heavy footed. Will the EC serve my need? I drove the EC in Tokyo for about 4 days when I was there for work about 2 weeks ago. It is a decent drive but fc isn't that impressive. I was doing mostly highway driving there and had to refuel at about 590km or so. The drive itself is not too bad for a cvt but its sluggish still, suspension has abit of an American suv feel to it, comfortable suspension system. Pickup is poor imo. What i liked : Suspension- was gd even on offroad tracks Engine is really smooth, had no idea i was speeding Viewing angles from side mirrors are gd Easy to navigate and drive What i dont like : Cvt Rear view obstruction from the spoiler Rattling from back door Outdated cabin Not a very comfortable cockpit for driver Poor fc The lane assist feature didn't work at times Just my 2 cents :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody7k 1st Gear August 23, 2019 Share August 23, 2019 Also I think the one you tried in Japan is the AWD version vs 2-way here. Also local model no lane assist, not sure how the spoiler obstruct the view seems fine to me other then when navigating tight car parks cant really see the front and have mount kurb one or twice (luckily car is tall enough to goes over it) Pick-up is not too bad once you turn the eco mode off or a bit more daring with the accelerator which is on par with most sedan with the similar engine capacity but its no sport car so don expect to be fast. That being said CVT has improve over the years it does feel like normal Automatic transmission but not as good as DCT. But normal day to day commute shouldn't be much different.

The one I got was the 2wd. It obstructs when looking at rear traffic - well at least to me it did. Agree about the front, that could be better.

SGCMlycan 1st Gear August 23, 2019 Share August 23, 2019 Android auto has a new facelift but I still can't use the trackpad to navigate the menu. Apparently the trackpad works in apple carplay but not Android auto. I wonder if there's anything Mitsubishi can do to enable it else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Blimeysg, So have you sold yr Qashqai and bought the EC? I have also sold my 2016 QQ and collecting my EC in two weeks time. Like to know if the FC is better that the QQ. Pickup wise, no need say. My QQ very sluggish when taking off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard many people who bought the QQ say that the pickup is very sluggish, but how come when they test drive that time never realised it? 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R1480yjs 1st Gear September 20, 2019 Share September 20, 2019 During the ten mins or so test drive, can’t really felt it sluggish as it’s a new car and the thrill of driving a SUV from a sedan probably probably took away some of the attention. I wanted to buy a M6 sedan but again the feeling is so different from a SUV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

R1480yjs 1st Gear September 24, 2019 Share September 24, 2019 Got my COE and is in the midst of taking possession of my new EC pending all the logistic works. Is it compulsory that we must take their TWO years AIG insurance? Although my current insurer is also AIG, the one quoted by C&C is much higher. They won’t allowed me to use my own agent. Appreciate some info from those currently drives EC. THANK YOU!, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate some info from those currently drives EC. THANK YOU!, You still negotiating the deal despite have paid for the car and getting CoE? Seems like you're a bit late. I personally hate that dealers in SG state that you get penalised or that you can't buy the car without their finance or insurance. We all know they get kick-backs and commission, but its very anti-consumer. Anyway, I think you're a bit late. If you hadn't closed the deal, I would've played hardball and just walk away. Pull out the cheque book or credit card, wave infront of them and put it away if they insist otherwise. I was fortunate that my SE helped wave all penalties and got special dispensation from his manager by saying I was friends and family. Ended up saving over $1.5k with lower excess and more comprehensive insurance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
