Can someone please advise what brand of tyre I can buy that will not cost me the national debt but will give a ride comparable to the original Yokohama 215/45R – 18. I have replaced them once however the tyres were only $200 and 30k down the road they are noisy and give an unpleasant uncomfortable ride. Any suggestions please. Elayne

hi was just wondering with the mitsubishi vrx lancer 2008 noticed that it doesnt have turbo etc is it possibke to put in turbo or a super charger to boost the power if so how much and would it be hard. Also know someone with one and they cant seem to take the traction control off they can turn off the anti stability control off but not the traction control is this possible if so how. I am interested in this car thinking bout buying one.
thanks

REad the manual . I had a few problems working it all out at first , so i read the manual a got it sorted . first you have to pair your phone with your car. After that its all automatic .. love my Lancer , quick and handles better than any 2L on the market , there are some mods coming out of the U.S now ..

Jackie,
Ive never used the Lancer bluetooth phone system,
But I know to get it working in my Falcon I found I had to first set my phone to enable “voice tags” as mine calls it.

Firstly your phone must be compatible, secondly the feature must be turned on on your phone.

The first time I tried to use the voice tags on mine, my phone handset prompted me to enable the setting.

once I okayed it with my handset, its worked like a dream and actually surprises me how accurate it is even picking up the tricky names.

Good luck

Just bought the Red VRX 08- wicked car. First one bought in Albury Wodonga- there is a beautiful Black Ralliart in stock that came in the day I picked up my car. Looked at the Mazda 6, nice car but just so common now- seems every one has one. The Lancer VRX is unique here which is good. Has a bit of kick as well. Lot of features for the price and excellent fuel consumption. Would have loved an EVO, but out of price range and no local dealer

Awesome car, was looking at V8 Falcon and refused to accept fuel consumption.Took Vrx 08 for test drive and it blew me away.It has power,style and heaps of features. So yes i have brought one in the black with 5-speed manual,Rockfosgate sound system and few other extras for less than 32k.I however have one complaint only- if you want a black one there is nothing till end of May.

I drove the VR-X CVT with the paddle shift and the car is fantastic. I feel it has a lot of features packed into a small car but the only -ve is the price. Top of the range VR-X CVT with moonroof + the rockford streo is priced at AUD $38K. This is of course RRP and you will end up paying a lot less than that but it is a bit expensive. But the car is fab.

A few good options for the VRX. Looks fair (better than wrx!!) but with poor performance – same as standard lancer. This is nothing inspiring. Foggy summed it up well. In the low 30′s price range, a mitsub small-medium car must conquer a whole new market and it won’t even come close!

The retail prices on the new Lancer are very competitive especially when compared to its older and tired rivals.
As for the designs the Mazda 3 is boxy, the new Corolla is dull and the new Impreza is a disaster that only a Subaru owner would love.
THIS VEHICLE SETS A BENCHMARK FOR ALL NEW SMALL TO MEDIUM CARS IN AUSTRALIA AND POSSIBLY THE WORLD!.
