Onlookers envy and drivers delight !!!

After disposing off my 7 Years old companion -Accent Tornado, i was looking for more luxurious and powerful yet affordable upgrade. Took TD for Magnum Optra, Honda Civic, City, SX4, Ford Fiesta and Cedia.Fiat Linea failed to show up in spite of several reminders. Volkswagen Jetta had no showroom here. Next in waiting was Toyota Altis. but they too responded lethargically. So i decided for  Mistubhishi Cedia Spirit. Done around 9000 Kms after getting delivery on 6th April, 2009. Good car fully loaded with stylist royal interiors and great double Din Kenwood  LCD player with built in Navigation system with USB attachment

and rich blend of leather and appealing dash-board !! approachable Boot from the back seat ! Below 10 sec  ! from 0 - 100 Km !  has both ABS &EBS, ACC, smooth ride !  15" tubeless with alloys with all 4 wheel Disc Brakes, strong suspensions for Indian conditions,  Front Airbags, small turning radius for this lengthy car, good torque but for  2000 cc, 115 BHP is too Low !  Atleast 130 to 150 BHP  was expected from this car . At higher speed engine strains.  No Turbo charge ! No Resale value, i suppose ! The company seems to have slept with this beauty  in prolonged Hibernation !!! Not extinct or endengered species but appears to be a rare species on Indian roads !! Recently,  i was on a 14 days road trip to Goa via Mysore-Kushalnagar-madikeri-Shimoga-Sagar, Jog Falls-Karwar-Goa-Bangaluru-Hogenakkal Falls-Madurai covering 2960 kms and i didn’t spot any Cedia on NH or SH during this duration. It is thirsty on fuel with a mileage range of 9.5-12 kms/L.
It is a "Piece of Art" and a Head turner! Its lovely, smooth, well behaved, long and royal but with a deficit of Marketing! Marketing is Dead ! ...dead and non-Resurrect-able !!
TGDC from Mistubhishi  was a great explosive  thriller but ended a damp squib as the Lucky winner was never announced for the Singapore trip !
