Mitsubishi Cedia [2009-2013]

Exterior Excellent paint job coupled with graphic stickers does a wonder to style for which my car attracts many roving eyes. However, when Cedia is associated with "Sports" then the brake drums should have been coloured. Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) High quality leather on seats and good leather work on the gear. The Dashboard looks great along with navigation which they have stopped now in new Cedias. Extreme comfort n fantastic airconditioning for a car at that price. Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Lancer(Cedia in India) is one of the best produced machine by Mitsubishi after the much famed Zero Fighter plane from the WW2 days. A robust engine...U can hit the pedal n the car will put good cars to shame. just to give you an idea, the car can reach speed upto 50 kms with ease on the 1st gear alone before screaming. A true racer by the spirit. It has a mammoth torque as well which will surprise you. Its been 2 yrs of my red cedia sports n has done about 15,000 kms but never got more than 6kmpl in the city. On the highway u may expect 9-10kmpl if u drive right. Ride Quality & Handling Excellent suspension, great brakes, never sways. We have about 15 cars of varied makes n segments but none so good as the Cedia for it's segment and price. Final Words Work well n earn well to ignore the mileage and roll up ur sleeve, floor the pedal for some true racing spirit which comes naturally with the car. Ensure that u have Mitsubishi's original graphics on the doors and witness the confluence of Man and Machine. A sturdy reliable car that you can swear for the rest of your god damn life. Areas of improvement Automatic transmission, Kenwood GPS audio system, Diesel and Executive variants of the Cedia should have been there. More than the areas of improvement in the car, areas of improvement should be there in the Mitsubishi company which is not serious about their business or their customers as seldom you will find any change in the cars and their models while other companies are trying something new every 6 months, same is the case with the famous 2000 model Lancer which is history in the rest of the world and yet Mitsu is continuing to sell it in India. Same is the case with all their other models. Log onto any country's Mitsu site and u ll find new model Lancers and Pajero Sport version whereas they hv only launched a 50 Lakh lancer Evolution with high bhp n stuff. Lower bhp and lower priced models are also avlbl there but they have not done any justice to India. Mitsu's cars are mostly used by rally drivers due to their reliability but company has not done much to promote rallying in India as u would only see MRF and Red Rooster racing sponsoring racing events. let alone racing, Mitsu India has not even promoted any amateur rally for it's customers. Your children and grandchildren will probably grow up and see that they are still selling the 2000 model Lancer and Pajero. India is known for its hatchback car market and mitsu has instead  chosen America to launch its hatch Imiev electric car. Company has also not provided any sport kit upgradation for the body and customers have to pay thousand to have their car modified with substandard work. There are many more but truly with Mitsubishi's attitude, they aint going nowhere in India.Style,ride,accelration,deccelaration,brakes,graphic sticker, dashboard, steering, space,boot space,Fuel Economy, Model is old now, no auto gear option, inactive n sleeping company
