Talk:Mitsubishi Lancer

message: I just bought a June 2001 Lancer Coupe and contrary to the details here, it certainly has a 1.8L engine (model 4G93). According to the papers this is the original factory engine that came with the car so I've updated the details on this page assuming that they were wrong. The only other possibility is that the car is in fact a Series IV meaning that the page needs to be updated to show that Series IV came out in 2001 and not 2002. Does anyone know how I can find out what series my Lancer is so I can resolve this with 100% certainty?  --220.233.20.172 09:45, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

:Yes, the Lancer did come out with a v6 variant, but only in selected markets. I would be surprised to see a v6 Lancer that wasn't directly imported from Japan.

Yes there are incorrect referance , most 1992-2000 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR , had a 6A10 (1.6)or 6A11 (1.8) V6 option. And not a 4G93 turbo. The 4G93T was a variant on the Evolution GSR models in 1991-1992 Kongkit (talk) 01:36, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why cleanup? 

message: Lancers became quite different cars over time.
From being 'A four-wheeled bomb' it evolved into a gentle 'Family-car'
I owned a first-generation Lancer from 1975 till 1981.
The car was incredible fun to drive - but nearly killed me on several occasions.
It had quite a reputation too !
True: In the hands of an expert it performed magnificently and won many international rally's.
But driven by an ordinary driver (Like me) who liked the experience of it's power it was straightout dangerous.
Actually the Japanese had meant the car to have both looks and feel of British sports-cars of the late '60's (Like the M.G. B or Triumph Spitfire)
Only: It performed even better but had worse road-sticking capabillities!
With an extremely agile engine (Double-bodied carburettor) of over 85 BHP and the car 'grossing' at only 830 Kg it had impressive acceleration and respectable top-speed.
But it didn't need wings to take it in the air!
It was unbelievably 'Light to drive' too, responding vigorously to the slightest touch of pedals or wheel. (Though steering was purely mechanical, not assisted).
But a small bump in the road or somewhat careless 'touching' of the brakes could send it carreering into any direction.
NOW: Should I ad something along these lines in the main article or is this beyond the scope of an encyclopedia?

thread_title:  lancer glxi 

message: Hi guys, I've fixed the generations to put it into line with the information contained on the Lancer history site from Mitsubishi. Most reviews/sources I read refer to the current generation Lancer (2000-07) as the eighth, so I believe that this is correct and in line with the Lancer history site. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Geekygeek07 (talk • contribs) 03:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The Mitsubishi Lancer SL is the box-type car well known in the Philippines since the 1980's. There are some models in the Philippines such as the 1800 engine GSR using the same box-type body model SL with 4 wheel disc brakes. The Lancer model SL is a rear wheel drive with 4 speed manual transmission.

Any chance this is the same model as the Lancer EX?  Without more info, I'm inclined to believe we're thinking about the same model. --Neil Santos 14:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Second Generation 

message: I have a 1983 Lancer with a 1.4 engine (at least, that's what it says on the paperwork).  Also, the picture in the fourth generation infobox doesn't look like my car; mine looks like a four-door second generation Mirage.
Also, on this page http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2388434 the owner says his 1983 Lancer is an FR, not an FF as stated in the infobox.  I'm getting confused. :P
I'll see what I can dig up and correct the mistakes, if any. (Neil 07:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Second Generation Picture 

message: I've just tidied up some of the spelling and grammar in this section - more could be done, but I'm not a real car expert, and don't want to make a big mess.
I actually came on to see if there were pictures of the newly released 'Australian' Lancer, because I can't get onto the official site (funny, that ;) ). I'm about 90% sure it was officially released today (11 Oct 07) at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. Can someone verify this? CrackedChelle 07:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ninth Generation 

message: This article is wrong about naming the Lancer's generation. From the 1st to the 6th is correct but at the 7th is wrong, the 7th here is the 8th edition. So it goes for the 8th generation here, in terms of edition, it should be considered as the Lancer 10th Generation, because there was a Evo IX car but the road family sedan I haven't seen anywhere or published. 
So the correct order for the images should be (starting from the 7th generation):
- Missing the true 7th generation
- Lancer 8th generation (in here as the 7th)
- Lancer 9th generation (only know about the Evo IX)
- Lancer 10th generation (in here as the 8th, because the previoulsy antecipated names for the Evo version of this car was Evo X and known in his official website when it was still a prototype, as the Prototype X. The numbering will be dropped down and the Evo edition will be called only Mitsubishi Lancer Evo)
About the irish lad doubt, your correct, Lancer was sold in Europe since from the 3rd or 4th generation at least (It's the older generations I've seen in my country, Portugal) and was sold at the same time as the Mitsubishi Carisma. Carisma never was a replacement model for Lancer, although the Lancers here have the small engine option, the GLX version, I suppose it is a 1.3 4-cylinder engine.
Carisma and Lancer are two separate models. Carisma I think it's more a family sedan and Lancer is more business man sedan at that time, now it does the both as a family car sedan and station wagon and business man car.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.103.98.138 (talk) 13:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

message: You say that you kept your sources in line with the official history, yet that page stops at year 2000 and the copyright date is for 2001.  You're at least missing one generation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.246.108 (talk) 12:10, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  generations 

message: It states in your article that the 5th generation Lancer GLXi that was sold in the Philippines had a 1.6L Cyclone ECI-MULTI "DOHC" engine. I did my research and that particular engine (internal code "4g92") only has "SOHC" so i'm a bit confused.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.55.165.83 (talk) 06:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I bought a 2005 lancer recently and my concern is with mileage, is there anything can be done to get decent milage since I travel about 40-50Km a day and I find it difficult to manage with almost 5 liters of fuel/day,  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.124.0.1 (talk) 12:00, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
