1998 Mitsubishi Lancer GLXi review from Singapore
"Bad sound isolation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Loud road noise heard in the cabin. Worst belting ever had, getting noisy and " gheet " sound from the belt especially during rainy days or early morning. Change the belt many times, but comes back again after a while.
Fuel consumption is not very good for urban drive (with reference of 1.3 liter engine)
When going on highway, it takes long time to reach 140 Km/h.
Never never drive fast on the wet surface, tends to float when going through a pool of water even if with a good tire.
General comments?
After all not a bad choice for a 1.3 liter class.
