Mitsubishi Lancer - Generation 8.1 (2003-2004)

MITSUBISHI LANCER (2003-2004)

Also called as the "Cedia" (or Century Diamond), the eighth generation Lancer's launch was a bit delayed locally. This model gets a continuously variable transmission which replaces the old 4-speed automatic but still uses the less powerful version of the previous 1.6 engine.

See the Generation 8.2 or 8.3 model

Mitsubishi Lancer - Generation 8.2 (2004-2008)

MITSUBISHI LANCER (2004-2008)

Two updates were given for this version: one occurred in May 2004 which received a Boulay grille and ABS brakes while a second one that happened in June 2006 made the vehicle more longer (2004-2006 models are shorter than the original). All except the GLX and GLS were discontinued with the launch of the Lancer EX.

Recall Alert - Mitsubishi Philippines Recalls ASX, Lancer EX, and Two Other Models

If you're driving a Mitsubishi ASX, Lancer EX, Lancer Evolution, or Outlander, then read this out. Mitsubishi Motors Philippines is doing a vehicle recall for the four above mentioned models as part of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation's announcement.

The recall is for three issues that involves different models which include:


Issue # 1
Models: 2011 ASX
Reason For Recall: The brake booster's switch sleeve is suspected to be improperly installed that may cause the brake pedal to get stuck and the vehicle not able to start.
Number of Affected Models: 27 units

Issue # 2
Models: 2007-2009 Outlander
Reason For Recall: No thanks to the insufficient conduction of the brake lamp switch that may cause the brake lamp not to illuminate and not able to shift lever to move out of park (P) position.
Number of Affected Models: 558 units

Issue # 3
Models: 2008-2011 Lancer EX and Ralliart, 2008-2009 Outlander, 2011 ASX, 2008-2010 Lancer Evolution
Reason For Recall: The pulley and auto tensioner have the tendency to wear out due to an inappropriate material in the engine drive belt and may tend the drive belt to wear off. Depending on engine type, replacement may range from 1 to 1.5 hours.
Number of Affected Models: 2,459 units of Lancer EX and Ralliart, 603 units of Outlander, 600 units of ASX, 8 units of Lancer Evolution

Mitsubishi Motors Philippines had no reports of vehicle failure and/or incidents due to these issues nationwide. Replacement parts are expected to arrive this month while MMPC and its dealers will contact customers whose vehicles may be affected for proper scheduling of inspection and servicing.

To check if your vehicle is affected, you may check the vehicle identification number at http://www.mmpc.ph/latestnews/mmpc-announces-details-and-coverage-of-safety-recall-inspection-campaign.html.

Car Profiles - Mitsubishi Lancer EX

MITSUBISHI LANCER EX

When it was launched, everyone had their heads turn. But as time caught by, a 1.6 engine became available which masked its age (along with some generous dealer discounts) since its competitors were redesigned or updated thoroughly. While the lines are striking, do remember its old.

The Good: Steering is fun, handling is good. Appeal is broadened by new, more practical 1.6L engine.
The Bad: Cheap interior touches, getting long on the tooth.

Price Range: P840,000-P1,195,000
