the kingsway/imperial dealership is now a mitsu dealer. i wonder if that is an improvement.

with the reliability thing, my lancer is about 2-3 years old. so far so good however the real test is 4+ years.

4 recalls in just a year of owning a mitsubishi.... reliable?....hm.

Went to Wolfe Mitsubishi in Langley a couple years back with my brother when he was looking for a new car. Tested the Lancer. The salesman was nice, but my god the car was horrid. I couldn't get over the fact that my old MK2 GTI had softer plastics on the dash and various trim bits than the new Mitsu. People bitch about American cars having horrid plasticy interiors... well, this thing made a freaking Cavalier's dash look like a pillow.

:eek: what year, what were the problems

08 lancer/evolution X GSR and MR

1. hood latch
2. Fuel pump relay
3. Fuel line
4. AWC reflash (fucks when the diff fuild is below a certain tempt.)

There are many more TSB, but those were the 4 official recalls. I have yet to do 2 of them...w00t.

watch that hood fly open on ya.

Mitsu is making their cars to a price now....Nothing like my proper 90s JDM import that has soft plastic EVERYWHERE and full auto climate control with LCD, factory navi (mine got ripped out, but it's standard for the VR4 on the catalog)homelink and shit, putting German cars to shame.

hmmm too bad you guys never mentioned Wolfe Langley Mitsu, i work there, in fact im at work lol dont know if its ok to say this.

Remember your car is one of the first model year.. it is not uncommon to have issues especially with ECU programming due to Vancouver weather.

The key is how the company and the dealers deal with it.

You want a car that doesn't have as many TSB, wait a few years.

isn't plastic interior very common for economy class cars? such as lancer.. civic, cavalier?

If poeple are expecting softer material, may i suggest lexus. Everything is soft in a lexus

Its good you pointed this out, because not a lot of people are aware that there are many rough patches to hammer out on a first year model car. Especially one that is on a completely new platform from the chassis, engine, and the drivestrain.

Which dealer is the best for repairs/oil change in Vancouver? How much do they charge for oil changes?

call around and ask how much they charge. It should be a standard rate between all the dealerships.
