In Russia's car dealerships, Lancer X appeared in the body of hatchback - Lancer x Sportback


The unique concept of "Sports Hatch" represents a fresh look at the traditional 5-door hatchback in accordance with the sports focus of Mitsubishi.

As a large extent, the "serial" option is widely represented in 2005 by the Sportback exhibition concept, Lancer Sportback was designed for Europe, where 5-door cars are very popular (75% in the Class C Class C segment according to the European Top 5 rating). It belongs to the so-called sports hatch bags (Sports Hatch), which is much closer to the concept of Mitsubishi, rather than the traditional and exclusively functional ideology of the hatchback.

With a length of 458.5 cm (for Lancer Sedan - 457 cm), it combines style, appearance and good transformability, automatically folded rear seats, without pursuing the goals to achieve a large indoor space. The trunk lid rises by 58 ° and is crowned with a spoiler in the tone of the body ( standard equipment For configuration Intense).

Engine: For the car will be offered by a 1.8 l / 143 liter engine. from. Transmission: 2 options for gearboxes (5-speed and stepless 6-speed variator) Transmission: front-wheel drive Brakes: ABS (Antilock Braking System) with EBD (Electronic Brake-Force Distribution) Security: up to 7 airbags.

This review is unique in that, answering the question, what is better - Mitsubishi Lancer or Ford Focus - We will try to compare several versions of each car: Lancer will have 9 and 10 generations, and focus - 2 and 3 generations and their restyled versions.

Since Lancer is offered to us only in the body of the sedan for the most part, then we will consider the focus in the same body. Although it is also offered in the heads of hatchback and wagon. By the way, for me personally, they are more preferable. But since you want to compare the focus and Lancer, it is obviously the sedans like you more.

So let's start. Let us estimate the appearance, sizes, the quality of materials used in the interior, ergonomics, proposed power units, transmissions and challenges. For clarity after each section, we will reduce information about all machines in one table.

Body

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 generation

No species nor great. It seems that Mitsubishi Lancer 9 generations deliberately "washed" the design of the exterior. Nothing in his appearance clings. The eye is nothing to stay. No emotions: neither admiration, no irritation. Seryos, in one word. Even if you paint the body into bright colors - will not help. Just a car. Everything.

The length of the ninth lancer is 4 m 48 cm, the width is 1 m 69.5 cm, the height is 1 m 44.5 cm. Wheel base is 2 m long 60 cm, the clearance is declared 16.5 cm. Good clearance, to be honest.

Lancer 9 Restyling

Restyling 9th generation Mitsubishi Lancer did not help. In terms of memority, it is meant. The car remained unremarkable vehicle. "Japanese Neddenin." A little changed front, plus rear lights More interesting made. Probably thought that there was no sense to be significant (in financial Plan) Take it, still the appearance of the car is no longer corrected. In short, the appearance of the troechka.

The length of the machine rose by 5 cm and was 4 m 53.5 cm. The width increased by 2 cm. Now it is 1 m 71.5 cm. Height, base and clearance - have not changed.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 generation, in my opinion, got a beautiful rapid look. The design came out successful. His many wanted in their time only for the appearance, which was undoubtedly memorable. This is Lancer and lacked. Praise.

The length of the tenth Lancer was 4 m 57 cm, the width is 1 m 76 cm, the height is 1 m 50.5 cm. The wheelbase has a size of 2 m 63.5 cm, the clearance is 16.5 cm. Clearance has not changed, and it is OK.

Lancer 10 Restyling

After restyling Mitsubishi Lancer 10 outwardly changed quite a little: only the chromic stroke of the falseradiator lattice appeared, and the corners of the air intakes in the front bumper changed their direction and now look down. The change is small, but they additionally attached aggression of a fairly aggressive front.

Body dimensions, base and ground clearance remained unchanged.

Ford Focus 2 generation

Body Ford Focus 2 has a rather concise look. Set of "surprise" without particularly notable lines. Although not to say that it is not remembered. The most memorable, in my opinion, turned out to be anterior and back, namely, headlights and lights. Wake me up at night and show the body fragments with these details of the exterior, I immediately guess what kind of car they belong. But I repeat, they do not differ as sophistication.

Length body Focus. 2 is 4 m and almost 49 cm, width - 1 m and almost 84 cm, height - 1 m and almost 46 cm. Base with a length of 2 m 64 cm. Clearance 15.5 cm.

Focus 2 Restyling

In general, the body of Ford Focus 2 after restyling practically did not change. In front of him gave more modern viewWhen replacing the wretched headlights on the "trendy eyes." Yes, it looks much more preferable, but it seems to me that the car lost the face - the new appearance is not remembered. If earlier the front part was not beautiful, but at least I was remembered, now it is pretty, but not remembered. So think that it is preferable for the machine ...

The length and width of the body, the wheelbase and the road clearance remained unchanged, but the height rose 4 cm. Strange, to be honest - how to take it? But, maybe, fighting auto.ru ... Do not essence, in general.

Ford Focus 3 generation

Exterior Ford Focus 3 fully updated. It is immediately seen that we are not the next facelifting, but a new generation. This time, the designers "turned out" the rear lights and air intake in the front bumper. And the one and the other are remembered. The air intake is generally monstruational. Straight business card new focus. No one has this.

On the side of the car continues to be lost on the background of the other machines. Nothing outstanding. Probably, the sidewall of the body is paying little attention because we, sitting at the wheel, most often we see cars or in the rearview mirrors - the front part of them, or right in front of them, then you mean their back.

The Focus 3 body length increased by 4 cm and amounted to 4 m and a little more than 53 cm. Width on the contrary - decreased by 2 cm and amounted to 1 m and a little more than 82 cm. Focus 3 became higher by 2 cm, its height is now equal to 1 m And just over 48 cm. The base is now 2 m long and almost 65 cm (+1 cm). Clearance - 15 cm (almost unchanged).

Focus 3 Restyling

The case when the appearance infuriates. Well, what is this narrow-eyed creature? Right: Ford Focus 3 Restying. It is clear that the designers led to the nasal part to the overall appearance of Ford sedans. And who said he should we like? I don't like it. Money for the wind, I think.

The back also distinguished himself. Well, no sedan looks at all. Although, you must admit, now Ford is again remembered on the front. But if you show an unprepared person to Focus and Mondeo, it is unlikely that he will figure it out that there is something.

In size, we have the same with the exception of clearance - it increased by 1 cm.

Summary by body

We will summarize the results and summarize the ones on the bodies, bringing data into one table.

As can be seen, the winner in the nomination "the largest body" becomes Mitsubishi Lancer 10. Although, to be honest, it does not say anything yet. For example, its width by as much as 8 cm is less than the width of the focus 2. And this is essential. Yes, and the wheelbase is not the biggest. And the base, as we know, affect, in particular, on the foot space of the rear passengers. In general, further, I hope everything becomes clear. That is the interim result.

Salon

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 generation

Lancer 9 salon is distinguished by the scarce of lines and ascetic design. Plastic is not on the very high level. Single product of mass demand. Although the assembly is quite high quality, in principle, and expect from the "Japanobil".

The instrument panel is a spacing, but readings are read very well. There are no complaints. Due to the fact that the car does not replete different kinds of increments, the driver's seat can be estimated as ergonomic - everything is at hand and in their places.

Seats, judging by the reviews, so-so - very much they serve. Landing is normal, get more or less comfortable - you can. But only people are growing up to 180 cm, plus-minus - the ceiling is low. He does not like the rear passengers. In addition, on the rear sofa, three adults will be extremely difficult to accommodate - the small body width affects.

Lancer 9 Restyling

Restyling changed the ninth Lancer only the instrument panel - now it is separate pronounced "Kreagashi" a la Evolution. Plus the steering wheel became a three-spoke.

The rest remains all the same with the same "sores".

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 generation

Salon of the 10th Lancer causes a two-way feeling. On the one hand, impresses the modern, made in the sports style, the instrument panel. On the other hand, it causes a wretched right part of the panel. Yes, and the central console with torpedo. What is this archaism? To be honest, you do not expect to see this after a sporting beautiful look of the machine.

The design of the seats is the same promotion. As if the creators clearly tell you that you are in the cheap car salon. This is evidenced, in particular, and "wooden" plastic.

Despite the miscalculations in the design, car ergonomics at a fairly high level. Judging by the reviews of the owners, everything is at hand. Sit comfortable, because Seats have a good adjustment set.

The problem of low ceiling remained. Everything is also especially feeling the rear passengers of high growth. But in width as if it became spacious. This information is for those who like to carry an adult company from three people.

Lancer 10 Restyling

After restyling, the Lancer x has modified only the central console. Now she began to look more modern. The archaic "climates" climate control and the quality of the material of the salon remained the same.

Ford Focus 2 generation

Focus 2 is different from his Japanese competitor with the thoroughness of eRgonomics. There are so many boxes that you do not even know what to put in them. Interior design is simple, but not boring. Everything is in place, and looks fine. Even finding no desire. The only thing that rushes into the eyes is, in my opinion, overload dashboard unnecessary elements.

Plastic in the interior is used soft. Its quality seems to depends on the configuration. Interesting policy. According to some car owners, in basic equipment Although it is soft, but externally looks like a texture on Kirk. By the way, it is noted that imported focus quality materials are better even in basic equipment.

Landing comfortable. Seat materials - high-quality, withstand 150-200 thousand kilometers almost without prejudice to external view. Unless, of course, care for them is relying. The front seats have a sufficient number of adjustments. Rear may well accommodate three adult medium sets. It is not very comfortable, of course, but can.

Focus 2 Restyling

According to the owners, restyling gave the second focus more quality materials of the interior trim. In addition, it can be noted that the "climate control" climate control is replaced with a push-button option, which undoubtedly looks more modern. Otherwise, everything remained still.

Ford Focus 3 generation

Someone, probably, considers the third focus panel with riding engineering, but for me it is something too. Too overloaded the central console buttons. Why are they all? Who used them all at least once? I am sure that such - units on all white light. If they exist at all.

The speedometer also overloaded, in my opinion. It was not worth so much divisions to do. Just worse made. "Cruiths" climate control returned. "Forward in the past" - called.

The shape and line of the panel, the central console and the torpedo should hint to us that we are sitting in a sports car. But I have no such feeling. Although the landing is at the sports. It is interesting.

Only two adults will spread comfortably on the rear sofa. And that low growth. Places for the feet of the rear passengers is small. And this is despite the fact that the wheelbase compared to the second generation increased. The reason in the lack of place lies in the fact that in favor of sportiness the Fords created more massive front chairs, plus the front panel is too voluminous.

Focus 3 Restyling

Restyling version of Focus 3 acquired a modern large display on the central console. The number of buttons was significantly dubed. And it pleases - now the panel, it seems, looks harmonious.

The archaism of the climate system was finally removed by replacing it on a pretty control unit. The quality of the materials remained at the height. The capacity of the rear sofa is not corrected.

Summary by salon

To understand who came out the winner of the interior, put an estimate from 0 to 5 for each item: design, quality, ergonomics, capacity.

Of course, you can disagree with me. The table is purely my personal, and therefore subjective opinion. But the situation on the interiors of the compared cars I see this way.

The winner came out a restyled third focus, but if you appreciate the capacity, then choose from the 10th Lancer and the 20th focus. If in the priority of the ergonomics of the front places, then choose from the second (pre-and post-post) and the third focus after restyling. If appreciate quality, choose the third focus. And if there is a design in the first place, it is uniquely restyled lanser x and focus 3.

Trunk.

We will not delve into the trunk, just compare their volumes - after all, this is all interested in first.

So, more than 400 liters of volume in the trunk have lancer 9 and focus 2. The largest volume is dorestayling second focus.

Engines and transmissions

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 generation

For Mitsubishi Lancer 9 generations were offered 6 engines:

• 1.3 at 75 and 82 hp
• 1.5 at 91 and 100 hp
• 1.6 at 98 hp
• 1.8 at 114, 130 and 165 hp
• 2.0 at 120 and 135 hp
• 2.4 at 162 hp

Transmissions were offered 3: "Mechanics", automatic and variator. For the variator, a four-wheel drive was also available.

Lancer 9 Restyling

The restyling version of the 9th Lancer left only 4 engines:

• 1.3 at 82 hp
• 1.6 at 98 hp
• 2.0 at 120 and 135 hp
• 2.4 at 162 hp

From the variator got rid of, only "automatic" and a manual box were left. It also disappeared a four-wheel drive.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 generation

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 generation was 6 engines:

• 1.5 at 109 hp
• 1.6 at 117 hp
• 1.8 at 143 hp
• 2.0 Diesel at 140 hp
• 2.0 at 150 hp
• 2.4 at 168 hp

All types of transmissions returned: mechanical, automatic and variator. Four-wheel drive It is also offered with the variator, and with "mechanics".

Lancer 10 Restyling

The restyling of the 10th Lancer did not affect the line of power aggregates and transmissions. Everything remains still. The only thing that has changed is that the engine 1.8 was deformed to 140 hp.

Ford Focus 2 generation

For Ford Focus 2 Offered 7 engines to choose from:

• 1.4 at 80 hp
• 1.6 per 100 and 115 hp
• 1.6 Turbodiesel by 90 and 109 hp
• 1.8 Turbodiesel at 116 hp
• 1.8 at 125 hp
• 2.0 Turbodiesel at 136 hp
• 2.0 at 145 hp

Transmissions, in fact, there were only two - "automatic" and "mechanics". The variator was a very rare phenomenon, because It was put only in a pair of 1.6 diesel for 109 hp

Focus 2 Restyling

Restyling the second focus left the power units for the same. Nothing changed. Another turbodiesel of 2 liters with a capacity of 110 hp was added to the gamme of the engines. He aggregated with a new type of transmission - "robot". From the variator refused.

Ford Focus 3 generation

For the 3rd generation, Ford Focus offered updated and fully new engines. All of them were 7:

• 1.0 Turbo per 100 and 125 hp
• 1.6 by 85 hp
• 1.6 at 105 and 125 hp
• 1.6 turbo 150 and 182 hp
• 2.0 Turbodiesel at 115, 140 and 163 hp
• 2.0 at 150 and 160 hp

From gasoline 1.8 refused, because It was completely replaced by 1.6-liter turbo variants.

The automatic box left, instead began to use a robotic, about which, by the way, unflattering reviews - too unreliable.

Focus 3 Restyling

Restyled focus 3 such gamma engines:

• 1.0 Turbo per 100 and 125 hp
• 1.5 Turbo at 150 and 182 hp
• 1.5 Turbodiesel by 95 and 120 hp
• 1.6 by 85 hp
• 1.6 at 105 and 125 hp
• 1.6 Turbodizel at 95 and 115 hp
• 2.0 Turbodiesel at 150 hp
• 2.0 at 150 hp

Instead of high-performance turbocharged 1.6, the same, but 1.5 appeared. Plus turbodiesel 1.5 added.

Transmissions remained unchanged.

Summary by chassis

In order not to consider each of the engines to consider each of the engines to be very detailed. All power units have their advantages, disadvantages and "sores". It is necessary to deal with each specific case. However, I want to say that Lancer loses focus in the number of available motors. Personally, I would choose first the volume I needed, and then compared the machines of one volume in terms of power, reliability and cost of service. The same with transmissions.

Chassis and management

All compared machines suspension and in front, and behind - independent spring. Brakes at all in front of the disc ventilated, from behind everyone, except for Restayl focus 2 - disc, and he has for some reason drum.

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 suspension is rather tough, but energy-intensive. Not very comfortable. Handling is good.

Lancer 10 remained the same tough. Handling, judging by the reviews of car owners, has deteriorated compared to the previous generation.

The Ford Focus 2 suspension is sufficiently comfortable for our conditions, and the handling is one of the best in the class.

Comfort When driving on our roads, Focus 3 became higher than that of the second generation, but the owners were separated about the controllability of the owners. Some say that very good, others - what has become worse than the previous version.

General conclusions

As you know, "Meet the clothes", and follow the advantages. Personally, I like the most most likely Mitsubishi Lancer X and Ford Focus. III dorestayling. Alternatively, restyling focus will come down 2. The tenth Lancer and the second focus wins in terms of the cabin. According to ergonomics, the best Focus 2. The quality of the materials wins focus 3, and on the design of the front panel - Lancer.

And Lancer, and the focus has reliable engines. Spare parts are available for both. But the originals for Mitsubishi are more expensive. Therefore, preferably, probably Ford.

In addition, the focus promises better handling and comfort. Plus the trunk at the restyling version of the second focus is the largest of those cars that I like. Therefore, if you choose, I would personally stop at restyling Ford Focus 2 - for me capacity, handling and comfort above the quality of materials and design (although in focus 2 they are also on the foursome).

Numerous reviews about Lancer 9 (Lancerf IX) make it possible to judge this car, as quite high quality and reliable. But since perfect cars do not happen, there are small disadvantages and weak points Lancer 9To pay attention to both the owners of Lancer IX, and those who are just going to purchase this car.

For each problem, we decided to find out the opinion of the site editor website, and part-time, the owner of Lancer 9.

Weak places Mitsubishi Lancer IX

Sensitivity to fuel quality

"92th or 95th?" - The question that is relevant to all owners of Mitsubishi Lancer 9. Disputes about the octane number are not stopped among the owners to this day. In the instruction manual, it is said that it is necessary to refuel gasoline with octane number 92, 95 and higher. Often in Russia 95th are manufactured by adding additives in the 92nd. As a result, it grows octane numberBut the quality of fuel worsens, from which the engine parts suffer. Output can be the use of 92th gasoline. The 98th, according to the observations of some owners of Lancer, can lead to overheating of the engine the failure of the valves.

Note From the site editor Website: directly disadvantaged or weak place, I do not consider the question. I used myself earlier (somewhere over a year and a half 95th gasoline - there was no problem). To date, for more than a year I have been using the 92nd and also there are no problems.

Fuel consumption Lancer 9

Fuel consumption is the first thing owner pays attention to. For the most popular engine version of 1.6 l, flow rate is: in the city - 8-10 l per 100 km, on the highway 6-9 liters per 100 km.

If consumption increases to 15 liters per 100 km, even with an engine of 1.6 liters, then this means that you need to pay attention to the catalyst. It is his pollution and leads to such big flow Fuel. The problem will be solved by replacing the catalyst. The failure of the catalyst contributes to the deposits of ferrocene. Ferrocene has a specific brick color and its deposits can be seen on the lambda probe and candles, which in this case will also have to be replaced.

If power disappeared and increased gasoline consumption, then the cause lies in the throttle. Some auto owners are foolishly advised to clean the throttle, with ineptly cleaning, this procedure threatens "swimming" revolutions. So be careful.

Note from the editor: I have a Lancer 9 with an engine 1.3l. Problems, about the flow, as you understand, does not arise.

Air conditioning Lancer 9.

Itself does not bring any problems. It is only necessary to include it for about once a week. It is necessary to do it even in winter. The goal is to prevent the tightness of the air conditioner seals. You can turn on it in the winter as follows: First, it is thorough to warm up the salon heater, and then turn on the air conditioner.

Note from the editor: To be honest, I never heard about this procedure, so I can't say anything about this, the air conditioner works perfectly.

Water in the salon Lancer 9

If the car has a smell of damp and rot, then most likely it is due to penetrating inside the water salon. In some cases, water can get through the plug between the interior and the wheel arch of the left front wheel. The problem is solved simply: you need to remove the mudguard, bend the liner and energetically put the plug in place.

Note from the editor: I did not come across this problem.

Noise insulation Lancer 9.

Noise isolation leaves much to be desired. This is especially true of thresholds and wheeled arches.

Note from the editor: I fully agree. Noise insulation of Lancer 9, unfortunately, is inferior to European cars. But this is generally weakness Virtually all "Japanese". In a short time, we plan to place an article on our website on Lancer IX noise insulation with your own hands.

Fad headlights Lancer 9

Due to the design of the headlight and can manifest itself in crude weather. Eliminated by turning on the near light. If this does not help, then it makes sense to contact the service center for warranty. In general, the problem is solved by cleaning the ventilation holes and lubricating them with a sealant.

Note from the editor: Plans tooling may occur after an unsuccessful tuning when their sealing is broken.

Disadvantages of optics Lancer 9

The owners have repeatedly noted that the brightness of the glow of the headlight is clearly not enough. It is solved by replacing the headlights of near and far beams more suitable in brightness or installation of xenon.

Note from the editor: I remind you that the installation of xenon lamps in the headlights that are not intended for this is prohibited. But "collective me", or no one will prevent you from installing special lenses.

Enough high price Official spare parts and maintenance Lancer 9

For the golf class car, Lancer is too high the cost of original spare parts and maintenance. Of course, it is possible to reduce costs by using suitable non-original parts.

Note from the editor: As for the original spare parts, I agree, but the market has a huge number of analogues, so there are ways to reduce the cost of service without worsening quality.

Brake discs Lancer 9

Generally accepted weak place Mitsubishi. Lancer IX. Already to the first, they will need to be replaced, and at high speeds when braking will be "news". In some cases, they can crack or even split.

Note from the editor: about the first then you, of course, got excited. He encountered the problem of the driven drives, but it happened when run, somewhere in 80 thousand km.

Suspension Lancer 9.

Hard suspension. So long trips are not very good roads May be tired.

Note from the editor: Of course, how many people are so many opinions, but I do not consider Lancer suspension 9 too tough.

Fragile paintwork

Insufficient enamel strength can easily lead to cracks and chips, which in turn leads to rust.

Note from the editor: I myself noticed small chips on the thresholds rear door Somewhere to 85 thousand km. Mileage

Of the small deficiencies, I still want to note the size of the trunk and not the most successful location of the washer tank under the hood in a cold place, so it will not be able to save it without water and save.

In conclusion, we can say that the advantages of Mitsubishi Lancer IX is still much more than flaws, and with proper timely service, he is faithful to his owner, without delivering special problems.

17.01.2017

Not so long ago, Mitsubishi Lancer 9 was so popular car in his class, which, many motorists, in order to become its owner, had to wait for their turn to half a year. There are several factors for unpreheent popularity of this car: affordable price, positive reliability reviews, good brand reputation and simplicity in service. But time does not stand still, and, today, on secondary market Already many sentences selling generation, but despite this, the demand for the ninth generation is still great. Therefore, today I decided to figure out how things are with reliability at the car and what to pay attention to when choosing a used Mitsubishi Lancer 9 in the secondary market.

A bit of history:

For the first time, the car of this model was commercially available in 1973, continues to be sold and to date. Mitsubishi Lancer of the ninth generation made his debut in the world market in 2003, and in 2005 a slight restyling was held, thanks to which the manufacturer managed to eliminate most of the essential miscalculations and disadvantages. In 2006, a small facelifting was held, which touched the exclusively radiator lattice. Almost all Lancers, which are presented in the secondary market, were officially sold in the CIS, but, occasionally, there are copies imported from Europe, USA and Japan. The car has become so popular that even after entering the market of the tenth generation of this model, it continued to produce and sold neither a little worse than the novelties.

Weak places Mitsubishi Lancer 9 with mileage

Like on most japanese cars Mitsubishi Lancer 9 painted water-based paint, as a result, paintwork is very weak and quickly covered with chips and scratches. As for corrosion resistance, in this component, Lancer is all in order, and if the car has not been restored after serious accidents, then there should be even a hint of corrosion on the body, only wheeled arches can be exception. Also, you can note the plastic from which the bumper is made - it is strong enough and without any problems withstands the mesmer collision. In crude weather, the forehead lights are often fought, to solve the problem, you should clean the ventilated channels, to miss their sealant.

Engines

Mitsubishi Lancer 9 was completed with the following force aggregates: gasoline - 1.3 (82 hp), 1.5 (90 hp), 1.6 (98 hp), 1.8 (114, 165 hp), 2.0 (114, 135 and 280 l. from.). The most reliable are the engines 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0, their resource before overhaul It is 250-300 thousand km. On Motors 1.8 and 2.0, the GDI injection system is installed, which is sensitive to the quality of fuel, therefore, in our realities, as a rule, fuel injectors and high pressure fuel pump are often faced. Also, due to poor fuel quality, it is necessary to change the spark plugs, their resource, in rare cases, exceeds 30,000 km. Signal about the need to replace candles will serve easy twitching when driving.

On a motor with a motor 2.0, two balancing shafts are installed, which reduce vibrations. Shafts are powered by belts to be changed every 90,000 km. The procedure for replacing belts is not cheap (200-400 cu), but despite the cost, it is not worth saving on this procedure. All motors are demanding of high-quality and timely maintenance, and, if this is not done, the hydrotheraplers and valves will be failed. If the power disappeared and the fuel consumption increased, the throttle is most likely to blame. When contacting the service, most likely, you will be offered to replace it, but, often, it is necessary to simply clean it to solve it. Also, the cause of the problem of the unstable operation of the engine can serve as the throttle block of the throttle. There are two solutions to the problem: the first - replacement of throttle valve (300-500 USD . ), the second is a boring of the choke and replacing the damper (100-150 cu).

The fuel filter is installed under the rear seat and serves no more than 30,000 km, and the cost of the original part is unpleasantly surprised. On cars, with a mileage of 200,000 km and more, significantly increases the oil consumption, the problem can be solved, replacing valve stem seals and rings. Under the influence of reagents with which we generously sprinkled roads, the cooling radiator quickly fails (the replacement will cost 300-400 cu). It is not famous for its reliability and bearings of the generator, the replacement of the generator costs the round sum (600-800 cu), therefore, most owners, if the problem occurs, is looking for a generator on disassembly, or they are trying to repair it independently.

Transmission

For Mitsubishi Lancer 9 there were three types of gearboxes - five-speed mechanics, four-stage automatic and variator. The mechanics are very reliable, the only thing that can slightly upset owners is the high cost of replacing the clutch (about 400 cu), good, it needs to be changed every 150-200 thousand km. There are no complaints and reliability of automatic transmission.

Reliability of Mitsubishi Pendant Lancer 9

Despite the fact that Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is equipped with independent suspension: Front - MacPherson, rear - a multi-dimension, comfortable to call it - difficult. The original suspension is quite reliable and does not require serious capital investments, no more than once every 150-170 thousand km. Today, almost all cars of this brand have runs about 200,000 km and more, therefore, objectively say how much it will last rather difficult. The fact is that the original parts are expensive and, many owners, at best, take analogue of average quality, in the worst - cheap China, the replacement of which it may be necessary and after 100 km of run.

The steering rack begins to knock after 100-150 thousand km, and its replacement costs very expensive (from 1000 cu). Many owners restore the rail, but, here, to predict how much it will last after repair - difficult, therefore, be sure to check this node not only for the presence of oils, but also the backlash. Also, it should be checked the hoses of the power steering on the subject of cracks and leaks of the fluid GUR. Steering traction, compared with other parts of the chassis, do not differ in particular reliability and require replacement every 60-80 thousand km. Brake padsOn average, 40-50 thousand km walk, the discs are twicear than. Over time, the caliper begins to knock to eliminate this knock, you need to lubricate the guide calipers.

Salon

The Asian interior of the cabin is immediately striking, everything looks very neat, but modest. And, here, on the machines with big mileageThe salon may look fairly battered, it all depends on how the previous owner belonged to the car. Despite the fact that the manufacturer used inexpensive finishing materials, everything is collected very qualitatively, which you will not say about noise insulation - its quality is very low, and if the noise of the wheels and the motor is irritated, without extra Shumkov it is not necessary. The only thing that can be noted is the reliability of electrical equipment, problems with it happen extremely rarely. If air conditioning is installed on the car, then it must be turned on at least once a week (even in winter) to prevent disruption of sealing sealing. Be sure to check the salon for moisture. Often, water in the cabin falls through the plug between the interior and the arch of the front left wheel (the plug replacement is required).

Outcome:

In conclusion, it can be said that the advantages of Mitsubishi Lancer 9 is still much more than flaws. Therefore, if you are looking for an inexpensive and reliable car, then this is perhaps the most interesting option in this price segment.

If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you have to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.

Respect, editors Car auto

These cars always supplied on russian market Only from Japan, and besides, the dealers offered a low price list. Japanese origin justified - the car owners praised. We checked how long the "ninth Ulan" is durable.

A bit of history

It all started with the fact that in 2000 the Japanese presented model Mitsubishi. Lancer Cedia for its domestic market. Previously, Lancer was significantly less and was based on a single platform with a small colt, and the new one had to replace the medium-sized Carisma sedan on the market. In Russia, Lancer Sedya sold only gray dealers and distillers, and the title of "eighth" Lancer was entrusted to him. The model that came out in 2003, de facto was restyled Lancer Cedia, but she was assigned the next, the ninth serial number.

In accordance with another Japanese tradition behind the wheel, Lancer is conveniently satisfied. Not everyone - high will have to be difficult and adjusting the tilt of the pillow will not help. But in the back surprisingly a lot of feet. What can not be said about width: threesome in the back seat, to put it mildly, closed, and this is not a missing designers, just the car "entered" into a certain "dimensional" category of the Japanese tax system. But what really is not easy for it, it is a slight ceiling over the rear seats - for high passengers reserve the front places.

Coles.ru 2004 year

Official Russian sales of new items began in September 2003. In 2005, the model survived a small restyling. Slightly changed front bumper And the grille of the radiator, and the plastic in the cabin made darker and "diluted" with silvery inserts and white saves of devices. Among the options have a climate control and leather steering wheel. Also, due to the thicker alcohol layer, noise insulation was significantly improved, and a different data exchange protocol between the control blocks facilitated the process of "prescribing" new keys.

In 2009, when the 10th Lancer was sold at all, the previous generation was briefly returned to the car dealerships to sell in parallel with the new one. Thus, Mitsubishi wanted to attract those buyers who had financial difficulties in connection with the crisis, but they would not like to give the idea to buy Lancer.

Offer in the market

In 2005-2007, Mitsubishi Lancer had a very stable audience due to good price Policy And in general, a successful design, so there is no lack of machines in these years in the secondary market. Earlier dorestayling lancers 2003-2004 are less common, and even less cars 2008-2009. There is nothing surprising in this, since the sale of the tenth generation has started from the summer of 2007. In 2009, the model was temporarily returned to the car dealerships, but there were not so many of them.

Among the bodies on the market, the sedan is expected to be dominated by 93%. The universals account for the remaining 7% of the proposals. There are no revelations with the engines. Almost all cars have practical from all points of view under the hood (including the tax) 98-strong 1.6-liter atmospheric: 56% of sellers offer a version with mechanical mechanics 31% - with a machine gun.

There were her fans and at a more powerful, 135-strong engine: 5% of the market occupy two-liter lancers with MCPP and 3% more - with automatic transmission. The most modest 1.3-liter 82-strong motor at the same time had the most modest demand: 5% of lancers in the secondary market are equipped with this engine and mechanical box. The automatic on this version in Mitsubishi was prudently decided not to put.

Middle prices on Mitsubishi Lancer IX:

Lancer is relatively inexpensive - it will cost an average cheaper than used Toyota Corolla and Mazda 3, if compared with Japanese competitors. The order of prices is about the same as on Ford Focus Second generation. This is not surprising, as the image of a super-foot car (like Corolla) or Driver (like Mazda) Mitsubishi Lancer can not boast. For buyers of used machines, this factor is rather positive - it is not necessary to overpay for the brand.

As for the mileage, the stated data should not be seriously perceived. Among relatively "fresh" copies, a chance to find a car with an uncomprised odometers there is still there, and buying an age car, there is no point in these numbers. Explore the body, salon, engine and boxes - they will prompt real mileage.

Typical breakdowns

Engine

All Lancer engines are simple and reliable, and calmly digest 92th gasoline. The only "sinners" is a periodically occurring elevated appetite for oil on mileage closer to 100 thousand kilometers, especially if you ride actively. Alas, but with the time "Mased" only progresses and eventually cured by replacement oilseed rings and caps.

One more characteristic problem - "Gentle" catalytic neutralizer who quickly fails if refueling with poor quality fuels. Most of the owners of Lancers buying a new catalyst preferred the installation of "Flacks". If you strive to independently undergo inspection, it is worth checking the scanner of the testimony of oxygen sensors before and after the lambda probe. The recipe for the extension of life catalyst is a regular cleaning of the nozzles and replacing the candles, as soon as the speed at idle will start swimming.

The absence of decent thrust on "Nizakh" in our time is just a bad tone. In this sense and Lancer, and Elantra demonstrate worthy manners: confidently "crawl" in traffic jams and without visible problems begin to accelerate even from 1500 rpm. "Running" Lancer, it is easy to notice a light increase in the area of \u200b\u200b3000-3500 revolutions (in general, traditional for Mitsubishi), and the ability to accelerate is preserved up to 6000.

Coles.ru 2004 year

Transmission

Mechanical transmissions are usually no complaints, but when buying a machine with automatic transmission, you have to be attentive. Be sure to ask the seller to accelerate sharply, and then reset the gas. Switching must be smooth, without jerks. If there are strikes, the box began to "die" a torque converter, which happens when undime replacement Oil and not moderately active ride.

Oil is recommended to change every 60 thousand kilometers. The replacement occurs in two stages: 4 liters merges, 4 liters of new, and then, in a day, the operation is repeated. In total, about 8 liters of oil are flooded in the box.

Chassis

The balance of smoothness and manageability on Lancer is very good, but some problems have time to deliver everything. At dorestayling cars, the sleeves of the lower levers rear suspensionwhich for the sake of better manageability made purely metallic. Then the item was changed to more suitable for Russian bad roads Rubberometallic.

In the front suspension, racks of stabilizers are weak, and the most of all the nerves will sweep the discs that are not so quickly erased, but they often be combined from temperature drops. When repairing running, it is better not to save on original detailsTherefore, the analogs are famous for unreliability.

Electrician

There are no challenging electrics and electronics in Lancer, so the problems arise infrequently. Is that the door panels of controlling windows and electricity suffer from moisture - it is necessary to be ready for these losses.

Salon

The cabin plastic is distinguished by good assembly quality, and infrequently annivers the owners of crickets. And if you buy a car heated chairs, be sure to check its performance. Heating threads are not too durable, and often rushes. For example, if you unsuccessfully occur on the knee seat.

Body

There are no problems with corrosion in Lanserov, so that the bugs on the paint and the "spiders" will indicate poor quality repairs after an accident. True, sometimes the paint is cleaned with stubborn plastic inserts on the lid of the trunk - these places should be kept under control and, if necessary, tint.

Also experienced lanserovoders advise you to change the usual self-tapping screws that fastening the rear lights that attackers can easily unscrew the score and kidnap them. As a replacement, fastening with hexagon heads is good. The lanterns on Lancer are not so expensive, like the frequent headlights of Porsche Cayenne, but there will be no extension.

The cost of official dealers

Costs We consider the most common version with a 1.6 liter motor and a manual box.

Immediately, we note that the high cost of work at Mitsubishi dealers is due to the fact that they include prices for it consumables, whereas usually write only the cost of work. In general, the rates are not very different from the market and even lower than, for example, to Toyota.

Prices for some parts

Mitsubishi Lancer of the ninth generation is a completely rational choice. The car is a little inferior in the "unhappiness" of the Corolla and costs a little more expensive focus, but not so banal. Turning dynamics, manageability and quite spacious interior allow you to use it for active ride and for family needs.

Dorestayling Lancers 2003-2005 did not suffer from some obvious and annoying childhood diseases, but it is better to give preference to the late version. It is not enough that she has a more cute salon and modified trifles, so more such offers on the market more.

The lancer turns to turn the steering wheel quickly, clearly and uniquely, the rolls are very small. In reply steering wheel Accurately informs you about what happens with wheels. If it were a little less in diameter, Lancer would have won it from it: and rotate more convenient, and a small increase in reactive effort would prevent. Sporting character manifests itself on irregularities: at little speeds shook noticeably, but as soon as the speedometer arrows 70-80 km / h, you forget about any unpleasant feelings completely - only admiring the energy intensity of the suspension.

Coles.ru 2004 year

Choosing the engine, it is not necessary to dwell on the most popular 1.6-liter version. Two-liter motor Not inferior to the youngest in reliability, but at the expense of the increases "on horseback" can deliver more pleasure from driving.

TO automatic boxes Need to take care and be sure to clarify how often the previous owner has changed oil into the automatic transmission and which way he did it. Those who neglect the service procedures to clearly answer this question will not be able.

Well, the last general rule - It is not in a hurry for buying and before making a solution to see 5-7 copies, studying the body in detail and demanding from the seller full information and a normal test drive with sharp accelerations, braking and roads of irregularities. Excessive week without a car is better than many thousands of investments in the repair subsequently.

For the same money, the same years

The segment of compact sedans is traditionally very large, and Mitsubishi Lancer IX has a lot of competitors: Ford Focus, Volkswagen Jetta., Skoda Octaiva, Honda Civic., Toyota Corolla, Kia Cerato., Hyundai Elantra, Renault Megane and Opel Astra.

We selected alternative options from other classes that fit into the price range of 230-400 thousand rubles and were released from 2003 to 2006. Options There are mass, and we picked up the most running options.

If the money is closer to 400 thousand, then you can look at the cars class above, without forgetting about the difference in service prices. If the financial resources are small, it is better to take a car other and smaller - the cost of repairs will be lower. Well, an alternative for family buyers - spacious minivans.
