Mitsubishi Lancer IX against the backdrop of its competitors looks rather modest with a power of 82 liters. With. and engine 1.3. And yet there is some sense to produce this model since 2003 on the market.The machine is quite interesting in management, which manifests itself in a soft and beautiful course with drifts.
The test drive of course immediately showed that such a dynamics of the engine is not enough, although for 1.3 Tachometer indicators approaching 6,200 turnover in all programs, they talk about its edification. In this case, there is a rather tangible noise inside the passenger compartment, which has become expected – after all, the car is more likely as a comfortable car.
Automation is tight, for a long time “thinks” therefore enough time is lost enough. Overall and rapid restructuring on mitsubishi are not easy because, when you need to accelerate, the car begins to “dull”. The engine does not pull out, the box “thinks”, in the end the maneuver is finished without starting. You have to start putting pressure on the gas in advance.
The suspension is slightly harsh, but the state employees almost always.
Very, very modest sheathing of the cabin – the material used is just a murderous cheap. Inside the car you can hear how the engine, rubber noise, any pebbles, sand flying out from under the wheelbase and hit the bottom. Plus – a lot of space, even for tall people. Three rather big people can be seated from behind. Ahead, of course – the space for both the driver and his passenger. Modest glove compartment and door pockets – well, here, who, how much space is needed. The central console is equipped with a small niche, plus an open box located between the seats in front.
Mitsubishi Lancer IX is actually quite not badly prepared for our roads-the anti-corrosion of the bottom, front wheel arches with shelter. Absolutely all wheels have mudguards, which is important. Gryazvyaznyta, made of plastic, closes only half of the motor compartment. Perhaps otherwise it will not work – the exhaust pipe is very hindering. Although, at the expense of it, as well as a massive steel “ski” with very strong subframes, the box body and the motor pan are protected from stones and various road obstacles. Therefore, on the face, saving on metallic protection. The car also has a rather large road clearance.
Regarding the suspension, in Mitsubishi Lancer IX she is independent. The front suspension is single -leaf, has a reptile stabilizer. Its racks are fixed on rubberized bushings. This design makes it possible a longer “walking”, in addition, repairs will cost cheaper than, for example, ball structures. The front lever with a removable ball will also reduce the cost of repair.
Mitsubishi backward suspension multi -link. The model is no longer new, but has high reliability. Therefore, with neat driving, repairs are possible and not expected. The lack of such a node as a stabilizer is very pleasing.
Conclusion, budget model Mitsubishi Lancer IX 1.3 is intended rather for very accurate drivers, although it is adapted for Russian roads.
