What is better to choose instead of Lancer X. Second Hands: Mitsubishi Lancer X - Where is the Japanese Quality? Weak places Lancer 10 2.0

the main / Protection \\ Hydones

Lancer 10 is a car, which has positively proven itself from car owners. It is reliable, safe, economical, modern, but not devoid of flaws.

This is used by competitors, creating machines capable of making the buyer to abandon the choice of Mitsubishi.

These cars also have constructive shortcomings that do not allow you to oust Lancer X from the market.

Lancer 10 or Mazda

Choose Kakai car better between Mitsubishi and Mazda 3 is quite difficult. The advantages that Mazda possesses are:

high-quality noise insulation;
plastic salon looks more expensive;
lack of "crickets";
headlight washer;
day running lights Do not require complex activation.

The disadvantages of Mazda 3 on the background of Lancer are:

too soft buttons material, so they remain scratches during operation;
the worst handling of turns;
paint and varnish coating are more damaged.

If you make a comparison from Mazda 6, the Lancer is clearly inferior in dynamics and manageability. The lack of Mazda 6 is too low clearance. After installing the Carter protection, problems are possible with overcoming obstacles on the road.

Comparison Lancer X and Ford Focus

If the car owner has a major appearance, then from the acquisition of Ford focus it is better to refuse. The salon is too close for people whose growth exceeds 180 cm. Also, the car has a number of small technical shortcomings:

the wipers are poorly cleaned windshield;
condensate is formed in headlights;
the quality of the plastic in the dorestayling version is low, therefore, for the lack of "curtains", the choice should be taken towards focus 2;
bad review in rearview mirrors;
pershing electrical wiring lock of the trunk.

The choice towards Ford Focus should be done if there is a desire to own a car with diesel engine. It has high reliability. The remaining engines have a smaller resource and are very whimsally, although they do not suffer from a male with a 1.5 liter motor from Mitsubishi. In general, this car Created for measured, urban ride.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 against Chevrolet Cruze

Chevrolet Cruz has mediocre dynamics, so if the car owner has a desire for a sports ride, then the choice should be made towards Lancer 10 Ralliart with power plants by 2.0 or 2.4 liters.

Also what you need to accept chevrolet owners Cruze is less practical salon. Plastic looks cheaper than in Lancer X. The salon is made in bright colors, which causes its rapid packacht. The steering wheel is made of the leader, which causes rapid coverage. Overall, with the same service life, the Lancer X Salon looks more attractive.

The advantage of Chevrolet Cruz lies in reliability power plant. All children's motors' problems are already solved by the manufacturer, so the engine practically does not cause the car owner.

Lancer X or Honda Civic

Honda Civic is able to make decent competition Lancer 10. The car has good dynamic indicators. Noise insulation is higher than Mitsubishi. The engine in terms of reliability corresponds to 1.8 liter motor Lancer. X, which is famous for its large resource.

Civic 8 will help not get lost in the stream of cars. Its design is filled with futurism. Dynamic indicators are not inferior to Lancer 10.

The power plant of Civic 4D is quite reliable, but also as at 1.5 liter Mitzubishi engines when achieving 100 thousand km is encouraging. A constructive power unit is more perfect than the semi-liter Lancer engine 10.

The disadvantage of the civic is too soft suspension. Rolls arise in the turns, and when driving irregularities, the shock absorbers often break through.

Mitsubishi Lancer X and Toyota Corolla

The advantages and disadvantages of Toyota Corolla are originated from the manufacturer's policy regarding the introduction of innovations. Toyota Motor Corporation constantly seeks to make your car as modern as possible. Therefore, constructive changes are constantly introduced in the production process. Among them, there are both successful solutions and obviously unsuccessful. So, for example, Corolla 150 has an option with robotic box Transmissions, which turned out to be very problematic.

Choice Toyota Corolla In most cases, justified, since the car has several advantages over Lancer 10:

more reliable electrician;
clear operation of the manual transmission;
a long-term resource before the start of the massener than the 1.5 liter Lancer Motor 10 will boast.

Comparison Lancer X with Kia Rio

Kia Rio has a well-assembled salon and a spacious trunk. Noise isolation is worse than in Mitsubishi. Also noticeable mass of uneven joints and uneven paints and varnishes. Handling is worse than Lancer 10. Reliability is also quite strongly inferior to Mitsubishi.

Mitsubishi Lancer X compared to Hyundai Solaris

Solaris has a six-speed automatic transmission. This allows you to accelerate almost without jolts. Despite the smaller engine volume, the volume of which is 1.4 liters, the car shows itself a voraler, especially in urban conditions, consuming up to 11-11.5 liters per 100 km.

Lancer 10 or Skoda Octavia

Skoda Octavia has a turbocharged version with a technology for reducing the engine of the engine. This makes it possible, depending on the need to obtain either high efficiency, or excellent dynamic indicators. For example, overclocking up to 100 km / h, Octavia is capable of making 8 s.

Lancer 10 inspection before purchasing

What to pay attention to the acquisition of Mitsubishi Lancer X is reduced to the table below.

Node or system	Note
Engine	Compression control at 1.5 motor
Body	Rust foci are most common in machines until 2011 release
Lubrication system	The massener is characteristic of 1.5 lithing engines. It is possible to extrude lubricant through the glands and seals due to the increased pressure of crankcase gases
Transmission	Oil check is required in the variator and automatic transmission. If there is a growing smell, then it is better to give up the car
Steering	Problems mainly in EUR
Lighting	Control the lack of fading glass headlights

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 (Mitsubishi Lancer X) - The tenth generation of one of the most popular models manufactured japanese company Mitsubishi Motors.. Lancer refers to those cars, without which it is no longer possible to introduce a modern auto industry. The previous generation of this car has become a real best-selling world market, and, rightly, is considered one of the most unpretentious cars in its class. The hero of today's review is no less in demand than the predecessor, but whether he has not yet failed reliability in the race for modern trends, now and try to find out.

A bit of history:
For the first time a car with the name Lancer (A70) appeared on the market back in 1973. Initially, the novelty was conceived as a transitional model for filling the lumen in model row Companies between Compact Hatchback Minica and sedan Galant.and was created on the basis of Mitsubishi Colt. The car was presented in three types of body - sedan, coupe and wagon. A distinctive feature of this model from other representatives of the company was the presence of disc brakes of all wheels, using a trauma-safe steering column and a 98-strong engine with two carburetners - Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 GSR. The rally version with a 165 hp engine was also released, which in 1973 took the first four places in the Australian Rally, and a year later won the East African Safari Rally.
The debut of the serial version of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 took place in 2007 on the roadshow in Detroit. However, the appearance of new items and its appearance became known in 2005, after the premiere of Concept-CX (it was shown at the Tokyo Motor Show) and Concept-Sportback (debuted at the auto show in Frankfurt). When developing a novelty, the "Project Global" trolley was taken, which previously successfully passed the approbation on. This car generation was endowed with a unique memorable appearance, therefore it became one of the most successful in the history of the model. In addition to the original design, Lancer 10 was endowed with a secure body of the RISE, performed by unique technology (The rigidity of the cuzzle body increased by 56%, on bending - 50%). However, there were details for which the novelty was significantly inferior to previous generation - noise insulation, interior decoration and driving quality.
In 2010, the model survived the first restyling, during which minor technical changes were carried out. A year later, the manufacturer made changes in the appearance of the car - new 10-spoke wheel disks, the bumper architecture and the framing of the radiator grille (chrome finish appeared), expanded the ruler power aggregates. Update in 2014 was aimed at eliminating some technical shortcomings - anticians of shock absorbers appeared, the ability to change steering thrust (earlier the part was assembled with the rail), the reliability of the hub bearings increased, etc. In 2018, it was announced to terminate the production of this model generation.

Problem places and disadvantages of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 with mileage

The paint coating of the body is mild and subtle because of which it painfully transfers even a meeting with branches of bushes (scratched). Due to the fact that the body quickly loses their presentable species, the owners often spend cosmetic repairs, repainting problem details, because of this to identify bitu Machine more difficult. When examining cars in which cosmetic repairs were carried out, check the gaps, openings, the integrity of the suture sealant and look for a putty. Said the manufacturer and on external body panels - the thickness and strength of steel leaves much to be desired. To corrosion, body iron is not clock, but it is more merit galvanizing than the metal itself. Despite the good corrosion protection to leave the chips for a long time not worthless, since they can still appear Ryzhiki. The faster rust affects the thresholds, the hood, the edge of the roof and the arches, the lid of the trunk, the seams of the doors, the joints between the wings and bumpers.

It will be worthwhile to pay attention to the bottom of the car. Rotary Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is still a rarity, but certain deposits can already be for this. In the absence of proper care and additional processing with anticorrosive, with time, the arches niches, spars, brackets, seams and niche begins to corrode fuel tank. IN motor compartment The reason for concern are seams and glasses. From other minuses it is worth highlighting the softness of the protective plastic front optics, which, besides, the quality of the light beam is reduced due to years, due to which the quality of the light beam is reduced. Polishing will help to return the Farm to the Farm, and to protect against scratches will have to glue the film. It is still worth allocating such trouble as a leakage of fog, the backlash in the door handles, the unreliability of fastening the mirrors and the front door seals.

Power units

In our market, Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is found with gasoline engines 1.5 (4A91 109 hp), 1.6 (4A92 117 hp), 1.8 (4B10 143 hp), 2.0 (4B11 150 hp) and 2.4 (4b12). Rarely, but still, the diesel versions 2.0 Di-D (136 hp) come across (136 hp). I will say that all engines of this model are reliable and with proper care of significant surprises are not presented.

Petrol

In gasoline engines there is one common disease - the sealing ring is quickly roasted between the collector and the catalyst, because of this, unpleasant sounds appear during acceleration. No vitality and ignition coils are not distinguished (symptoms - the car is badly started). It is also worth noting the throttle sensitive to pollution - it is recommended to clean every 30-40 thousand kilometers. The first annual release machines on the instrument panel can not light up the "Check" indicator - the firmware update is treated. Since these engines do not have hydrocomathers, every 80-100 thousand km need to adjust the thermal gaps of the valves. In machines with HBO, this procedure should be carried out more often. If this does not do this eventually hang valve.

The most problematic in the ruler is considered Stock Moots of the series 4A9 - 1.5 and 1.6 liters. The main disadvantage of these DVS is a tendency. piston rings To the cracker - leads to an increase in the oil consumption. If this nuisance is not to follow in the future, the massello can adversely affect the rustic-piston-piston group resource (inserts are rotated, loops appear). No reliability and timing chain, which often needs to be replaced by 100-150 thousand miles of mileage (stretched). Approximately the same as the oscilts of the crankshaft and gaskets. If you tighten with the elimination of the leaks, the flowing oil will kill the pulley of the drive belts. On average, the resource of motors is 300,000 km, but with competent services are able to withstand up to 400,000 km.

The 4B1 series engines are also not deprived of the problems causing the progressive mass supply, but here it is manifested after 200,000 km of run. Of the disadvantages of these OBS, the owners most often note the increased noise of work and a tendency to vibrations. Machines with great mileage problems can deliver graduation system (Wall roasted) and timing chain (stretched). At the age Mitsubishi Lancer 10, it is necessary to monitor the state of wiring and nozzle connectors (broken). If you do not follow the catalyst and oil level, the likelihood of the appearance of scaling in the cylinders is high. In the engine 2.4, the reason for the appearance of the jacket is aggressive operation without preheating. The signal on the presence of the problem will be tapping on an immentable engine. These motors and small troubles, such as leaks of gaskets and seals, damage to the nozzles, etc. The resource is about 450000 km.

Diesel

Diesel versions were equipped with an upgraded two-liter engine of the EA188 series, borrowed from the VAG concern. From the main problems faced by the owners of diesel Mitsubishi Lancer 10 need to highlight rapid wear fuel equipment, Hexagon of the oil pump, the valve of the USR and the solid particle filter (the diesel engine is only at the BSY motor). Also, there are also cases of loss of lubrication due to the burst oil supply nozzle into the oil radiator and the turbocharger failure, but these ailments are usually found on large runs. In addition, this diesel is famous for its good oil appetite, which can reach 1 liter per thousand mileage.

Transmission

For Mitsubishi Lancer 10 three types of gearboxes - mechanics, automatic transmission and variator were available. Oddly enough, it will sound, but the most problems are the 5-speed MCPP, which works in a pair with motors 1.5 and 1.6. In this box, in addition to the unreliable synchronizers, bearings, couplings and gears, a fairly weak case. Before buying a car with such a box, you must listen to the box, whether there is a buzz in it (it is desirable to check on the lift). It is also necessary to watch the oil, whether there are no pieces of metal and a gray mud. But the manual transmission, which combined with motors 1.8 and 2.0, turned out to be more enduring. Of the general problems of mechanics, weak drive seals can be distinguished (flow) and the noise of work when switching gear.

Among automatic boxes Gears The highest distribution received a 4-step automaton F4A51. This transmission is sufficiently reliable and with timely service, it does not particularly fully documented up to 300,000 km. From the weak points of the AKP it is worth highlighting the pump, speed sensor and seals. On large runs of 200000+, malfunctions are possible in the work of solenoids, hydroblock, planetary gears and brake ribbons. It should be noted that this machine does not like dirty oil, overheating and sharp starts. The JF613E six-step for our market is a rarity, as it was installed only in diesel versions and with gasoline engine 2.4. The main problem of this automaton is rapid wear of frictional, particles of which are packed by KP, scoring oil canals, solenoids and hydrabs. Despite this, owners varying the oil every 30-40 thousand km, the box is caught up with about 200,000 km without substantial repairs.

But the reliability of the Jatco JF011E variator largely depends on the quality of service (it is recommended to change the lubricant once between 40-60 thousand km) and operating conditions. With proper care and properly operation The variator will serve about 250,000 kilometers. This transmission painfully transfers work in traffic jams and on long distances - overheats (after overheating it is recommended to replace as early as possible to oil in the transmission). Solenoids, shaft bearings, stepmot, spline compounds of the planetary transmission and frictional compounds are surrendered in this unit. With an aggressive ride manner, the belt is quickly stretched and the cones are damaged (appears), after which the box will be cheaper to change on a used one to repaired. Aggregate malfunction signals will serve outsided sounds, jerking and hanging. Also faithful signs of the ambulance is the presence of small metal particles at the tip oil affection And the smell of Gary.

Resource suspension, steering and brakes Mitsubishi Lancer 10

This model is equipped independent suspension With MacPherson racks in front and multi-dimensional design from behind. Chassis Mitsubishi Lancer 10 has a good resource and adapted to domestic operating conditions. Of the weaknesses it is worth highlighting the rear springs, which are seated after 120-150 thousand km. Otherwise, the suspension resource is above average. Stands of the stabilizer go about 30-50 thousand km, bushings up to 60,000 km. The front shock absorbers and support bearings are grabbed by 80-100 thousand km. Silent blocks of levers are kept a little more hub bearings and ball supports are 100-120 thousand km. Silent blocks of the subframe need to be replaced after 15,000,000 km. Multi-phase gums with moderate loads hold 100-120 thousand km. But the rear shock absorbers and bearings of the hubs (changing assembly with the hub) are able to serve to 150 thousand km. Longitudinal levers need to be replaced every 150-200 thousand km. It is worth noting that the breakdown bolts and convergence are prone to zero.

The weak point in the steering is the rail, which will often give yourself to know the appearance of knocks on the first hundred thousand kilometers. Closer to 150,000 miles of rack starts to flow. Purchase original details Business is costly - $ 600-700, the benefit, Refractive Repair (Repair costs $ 150-250). Even the disadvantages include a small resource of steering tips. It is not distinguished by exemplary reliability and electric power steering, which are equipped with versions with 1.5 engine - starts to get closer to 150,000 km (the part does not repair). The remaining versions are equipped with a classic GUR, which, with regular maintenance and absence of leaks, the highway does not deliver.

Brakes at Mitsubishi Lancer 10 reliable, however, the owners of the car with top engines often coming on insufficient efficiency brake system And rapid wear of the pads (30000 km) and discs (50-70 thousand km). The calipers are very afraid of dirt, since the covers of the fingers are weak here (it is necessary to change 4-5 years). The "elderly" copies are possible to subdinition of the rear brakes due to the overclocking of the pistons of the brake mechanisms. The ABS block also requires focus (when driving on the puddles) and sensors with wiring.

Salon

Mitsubishi Lancer Lancer 10 finishing materials are quite budgetary, and the quality of the assembly leaves much to be desired - poorly fitted front panel seams, and in places of attachment there are backlash! There are complaints and on the wear resistance of some elements of the interior decoration. So, for example, on inserts under aluminum, door handles, steering wheel braid and lever, traces of wear appear on the first 100,000 kilometers. Not much longer withstands the upholstery of armrests and front armchairs. There are complaints and acoustic comfort - the Salon eventually begins to grow and creak. Exacerbates the situation lack of normal noise insulation. Due to the fact that under the carpet naked metal, in a strong frost flashed legs. On the age car, the cables of the door locks and the opening of the trunk can be asked for the ages of the door and the opening of the trunk.

The electrical equipment of the car is generally reliably and dues infrequently. After 5-7 years, it makes itself fan fan motor fan (starts to swell). About the same amount of seats heating elements, rear glass and the mechanisms of folding outer mirrors. In the machines released until 2009, the mechanism of the windows could turn together with the door frame (drove the mounting bolts). This ailment was eliminated under warranty, but there were those who were limited to regular tightening bolts. Therefore, in the event of an emergence of extraneous noises when the windows is working, check the status of the fasteners. Mitsubishi Lancer 10-equipped headache is added to the system with air conditioning - flow. Over the years, the quality of the image of the rear view camera is worse. The problem, as a rule, lies in the insufficient tightness of the part (the fee is oxidized). No reliability and wiring is not distinguished. Most of all are subject to damage to the wiring of the doors and the subcarrane space (insulation cracks, are shredded, etc.). Connectors are considered quite problematic (tightened, oxidized, latches broken).

Outcome:

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 stylish and enough reliable car, The only thing that spoils the image of a high-quality Japanese car is the low quality electrical wiring, finishing and assembly of the cabin. Even the disadvantages of the car include the high cost of original spare parts.

Advantages:

Bright memorable sport design
Reliable suspension
Automatic transmission
Galvanized body

Disadvantages:

Soft metal
Weak noiseylation on cars until 2011 release
The quality of the interior finish
Large fuel consumption on version with Motor 2.0, in the city of 12 - 14 liters per hundred

If you are or were the owner of this car brand, please share your experience, indicating the strengths and weaknesses of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help others to choose.

Very often on the streets of our cities you can find such a car as Mitsubishi Lancer. The model is very popular not only in Russia, but also in the CIS. Special recognition enjoy the ninth and tenth generations of sedans. The difference between them is large, and many motorists cannot decide on the choice. But nevertheless most advised to acquire the tenth generation (Mitsubishi Lancer X). What is the relevant this car and why got so widespread? We find out in our current article.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10 is a Japanese C-class car. Serial production of the car began in 2007 and ended in 2015. The manufacturer positions this model as a bright sedan with a memorable appearance.

Design

The exterior of the car really turned out to be bright. And if the "nine" was largely boring, then this generation would not leave anyone indifferent. The machine successfully looks primarily due to the shark silhouette and wide radiator grille. In the new generation, the Japanese reworked almost all parts of the body. Thus, optics, hood, bumper geometry, rear lights and even side line was changed. Mitsubishi Lancer 10 does not look like his predecessor. The car comes with 16-inch spike-shaped wheels. But many perform tuning. Mitsubishi Lancer 10 looks great with disks from "Evolution", as well as various plastic stuffs. And although the car comes from the plant with decorative linings, the owners glue additionally "lip" on the bumper (a la budget "Evik"). This gives the car even greater aggression and sportiness. Unlike the "nine", it is very easy to tuning Mitsubishi Lancer 10. On this car it is impossible to remain unnoticed. Japanese created too bright image.

Distinctive trait The tenth generation is a high spoiler on the lid of the trunk. But it is not in all complete sets. With him the image of the machine is more harmonious and finished. Also here are spoilers from the sports version of Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.

What do they say about body and paintwork of the Japanese car "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" reviews of owners? Metal on this sedan thinner than "nine". However, rust is not formed for a long time. Over five to seven years of operation, barely notable "spiders" can hardly slip in the area of \u200b\u200bthe trunk lid. And then because in this place is constantly wet. But the paint coating leaves much to be desired. Square quickly formed in front. Yes, the metal does not rust at the same time. But who needs a car with similar flaws in paint? Therefore, it makes sense to "roll out" the car into a transparent armoringe, at least in front. So you can really save the primordial view paint coating.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10: dimensions, clearance

According to the dimensions, this sedan is not very different from the previous generation (only slightly added in length). Thus, the body length is 4.5 meters, width - 1.76, height is 1.7 meters. Ground clearance The same as "nine" - 16.5 centimeters. But the characteristics of the passability of these cars are different. And all because of the low front bumper and plastic linings on the thresholds. They significantly cleaned the clearance and reduce the corner of the race. Therefore, lovers external tuning It is worth being attentive when buying "lips" and other collaps. In winter, such a bumper will work as a grader. Nevertheless, if you believe feedback, on the forest road the car rides without problems.

Interior

If an externally transformed the car, then in terms of the Mitsubishi Lancer X Salon, there is not far from the previous generation. The front panel architecture remained the same, with the exception of the instrument panel. Now he has two hotel wells, between which is located digital on-board computer. The steering wheel is a three-job, with a small set of buttons. The grip of the steering wheel is convenient, there is a gear knob and a climate control unit. Ergonomics in Lancer at height. But this is what remains the same, so this is the quality of noise insulation. Still in the cabin are used hard, almost oak plastic, and noise when moving is heard from everywhere.

What problems are faced with the operation of the car "Mitsubishi Lancer 10" owners? Reviews note that after 140-150 thousand in the cabin discourages the contact of the safety airbag sensor. Repair this sensor is impossible. The trouble is accompanied by the fact that when the element malfunction on the instrument panel lights up the lamp with an appropriate indication (the so-called "pregnant man"). And even though the airbag never fired in this car, the lamp will burn every day.

Trunk.

According to the reviews of the owners, Mitsubishi Lancer 10 has a sufficiently small volume of the trunk. Compared to the "nine", it decreased by more than one hundred liters. Thus, the total volume is only 316 liters.

And because of the ill-imparable form of the trunk on Lancer, it is impossible to carry large-sized things. But under the floor there is a niche for a full-size spawn by 16 inches.

Power part

The most popular engines in Russia are 1.6-liter and 1.8-liter aggregates with distributed injection. The power of the first is 117 horse power. What is it dynamic characteristics Is this Mitsubishi Lancer 10? Reviews of the owners say that this engine is a little faster than the "nine". Overclocking up to hundreds takes from 10.8 to 14 seconds. Why is such a run? Everything is simple: there are several gearboxes for this motor. This is an old four-stage automatic and mechanics for five speeds. Fuel consumption in the 1,6-liter version ranges from 7 to 9 liters in mixed mode.

As for the second motor, it develops a capacity of 140 horsepower. This unit is equipped with a manual box or variator. Mitsubishi Lancer 10 "with the last checkpoint is a very rare copy in Russia. Many do not advise "Lancer" on the variator. Reviews say this box is unreliable and expensive in service. Even with moderate operation, its resource barely reaches 150 thousand kilometers. And the cost of repair can reach up to two thousand dollars. Mechanics in this regard are more reliable. Its resource is even higher than that of the motor itself - for 300 thousand.

In terms of dynamics, the 1.8-liter Lancer shows good results. Acceleration until hundreds takes from 10 to 11.5 seconds. Maximum speed - 202 kilometers per hour. At the same time, consumption is insignificantly different from the younger version. A hundred car spends 7.5-8 liters of gasoline.

Mitsubishi Lancer 10: Price

Now there are a lot of copies in the secondary market. So, the ten-year version can be purchased for 350-400 thousand rubles. What is the price of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 "2014 release? These instances are sold at 550-600 thousand.

Let's sum up

So, we found out what Mitsubishi Lancer represents the tenth generation. The car combines a dynamic image and a reliable strength. it excellent option For young people and for those who want a bright and inexpensive car service.

On the conveyor: Since 2007.
Body: Sedan, Hatchback
Russian gamma engines: gasoline, P4, 1.5 (109 hp), 1.6 (117 hp), 1.8 (143 hp), 2.0 (150 hp)
Transmission: M5, A4, variator
Drive unit: Front, full
Restyling: In 2010, the total number of modifications is reduced, but after a couple of years, a new engine has been available 1.6 and changed front bumper, radiator grille, front fog and rear optics; Improved noise insulation, the instrument panel is updated.
Crash tests: 2009, Euro NCAP; total assessment - Five Stars: Protection of adult passengers - 81%, Protection of children - 80%, Pedestrian protection - 34%, Safety Assistants - 71%.

Motors of all types have a regular belt resource hinged equipment And his rollers - from 100,000 km, and the supports of the engines live much longer than that of the previous Lancer.

On modifications with a motor 1.5, an electric power steering unit is installed built into the steering rack. On the machines of the first years of release, it was very rare, but the system failures occur. The amplifier either turned off at all, or worked only when the steering wheel is rotated. Attempts to repair did not bring due results and ultimately had to replace the steering mechanisms assembled by the bats. In general, the electric powerful on Lancer does not cause trouble. Unlike Subaru, Ford and Mazda, Mitsubishi electric racks are reliable: the knocks are not about them.
On versions with motors 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0, set classic GUR. Sometimes it pops up the trunk of the return on the rake to the pump: rubber tubes are shared in places of fasteners to the steering mechanism. It is important to replace the GUR liquid in accordance with the Rules - every 90,000 km. To this race, the products of natural wear in the lubricant are already decently clogged with a filter grid in the pump tank.

Alas, a good picture with the reliability of the plates of both types spoils a low resource of steering and tips - on average a little more than 60,000 km.
As with the predecessor, the rear silent blocks of the front levers are not distinguished by an enviable resource - only 60,000 km go. They can be replaced separately, but about 90,000 km dies a ball support that goes only assembled with the lever. Therefore, if the rear silent block is broken, it is rational to replace the lever assembly.
The front shock absorbers go on average 120,000 km. When replacing them, update both support bearings in order not to immediately remove the nodes.
Front and rear stabilizer sleeves - consumables. They are changed every 30,000 km. Stands front stabilizer Also not particularly alternate: the resource is about 40,000 km.
Like the predecessor, the tenth lancer, the brake mechanisms have to be serviced with each replacement of the pads - clean the guides in the calipers brackets, lubricate fingers. This is especially important for rear brakes. Without prevention, the mechanisms quickly zak. The pads cease to move away from the disk, it means that elevated wear and overheating, screens and other extraneous noises are inevitable. With a serviceable system, the front pads go 30,000-50,000 km, and the rear is about 90,000 km.
The rear suspension of 1.5- and 1.6-liter modifications is deprived of a stabilizer, but it can be determined - the mounting holes are unified.
In the silent blocks, the bolts of adjustment of the collapse and convergence are pretty quickly. Alas, prevention is only one - check and adjust the corners of the wheel installation every 60,000 km. If you lose the moment, the repair will cost much more expensive.
The resource of the neutralizer and oxygen sensors is minimum of 100,000 km. Most often, lambda probes denied due to the cliff of the inner circuit of their heating. Original sensors are very expensive, so servicemen use cheaper, but decent analogs of the company DENSO.
In order to save, often in the resulting neutralizers, there are penetrating cells, and on the second lambda probe, which controls the efficiency of the system, is set to a bell. This is a small spacer between the sensor and the flow of exhaust gases. It is embedded in a kind of small neutralizer with honeycombs, which successfully imitates the work of the expensive node.
After 100,000 km burst the ring of the receiving pipe. This is a common sore. The exhaust system immediately increases the voice.

Achilles of the Tenth Lancer Fifth - variable speed drive. It is available only for versions with 1.8 and 2.0 motors. Even with competent maintenance and operation, the variator lives on average only 150,000 km. Full and qualified repair implies a mandatory replacement for many expensive parts, and the final price tag of recovery comes to 120,000 rubles. Therefore, there are very in demand in the market. Proposals are sufficient, and the price is tolerable - 60,000 rubles. On Lancer is the aggregate of the Japanese company Jatco JF011E. They are equipped with outlanders and many models of the Renault-Nissan concern.

In addition to the negligent attitude of the owners, the life of a whimsical transmission strongly reduces the unsuccessful arrangement of its cooling radiator. On the dorestayling models, it costs under the bumper, almost on the front left wheel hump, as a result, quickly turns the mud - and the variator overheats. Therefore, the radiator has to be dismantled and rinsed before each summer season. There are pitfalls here - the node is subject to corrosion. Even with the first removal of hoses from his fittings, the risk of breaking them, and they completely dump the rug to 120,000 km. A new radiator costs 20,000 rubles, so the servicemen picked up an analogue from Kia / Hyundai machines, which is almost three times cheaper.

Surprisingly, when restyling Lancer in 2010, the cooling radiator variator was completely removed - as on Outlander. Transmission began to overheat even stronger. Fortunately, the Salvation Scheme is worked out: the radiator put on the former regular place using the very Korean analogue. Either the radiator suitable in the parameters and endure it in front of the main regular. In both cases, it will be needed to replace the housing of the heat exchanger of the Variator "DoreForm". In modern execution, it has only two conclusions under the highway of antifreeze circulating on the engine cooling system, and you need two more additional under the new oil circuit.

It is very important to change the oil in the variator at least once in 90,000 km - it is in the presence of an oil radiator. If it is not, the interval should be shorted. When replacing it is desirable to remove the pallet to estimate the amount of chips (wear products) at its bottom and on special magnets. This allows you to judge the health of the variator and approximately ask how much it remains to live. Also assesses the state of the bobbin variators before buying them.

Extend the life of a variator and careful operation. The transmission of this type is especially afraid of percussion loads (when the bouquet wheels suddenly acquire a good clutch with expensive) and sharp accelerations.

Five-speed mechanical boxes Transmissions are available for all motors, but have constructive differences depending on the engine family. For engines 4a (1.5 and 1.6) there is one unit, for 4B (1.8 and 2.0) - another. At the same time both boxes are reliable. But you can kill everything, so the negligent holders note: now the mechanics for Lancer on the analysis is more expensive than the variator - 75,000 rubles. The manufacturer installed by the manufacturer to replace the oil in boxes is 105,000 km.

Four-stage classic automaticalready a dealer, but unnecessary. It is available for Motors 1.5 and 1.6. Servicemen could not remember the weak points of this box. The oil is recommended to change no less often in 90,000 km.

Maria Mishulina, Mitsubishi Lancer X (2008, 1.8 l, 143 hp, 140 000 km)

Lancer X I chose because of appearance and because of love for Japanese cars. I have a lot of experience in communicating with them, including recruiters. I bought the car in 2012 - with a mileage of 98,000 km and after two owners.

Before me, the car operated my friend, so I was sure that her condition is good.

I was looking for a car with a variator - I like such a transmission. In addition, the Lancer of this generation did not have other options that combine a relatively powerful motor and automatic. I know that the variator is short-lived and roads in repair, therefore sold the car when the mileage reached 140,000 km. Transmission worked without complaints, but I did not want to risk.

The car demanded only a regulatory service with the replacement of consumables. Alas, it did not cost without an accident. Damage to the front part was unsiler, but the prices for original spare parts were shocked. It is good that the Lancer can always find details for the sane money on disassembly.

Objective minuses: mediocre noise insulation, low quality interior trim and little trunk. The rest of the Lancer arranged me, and I disagree with the views that he was very outdated.

Alexander Bulatov, Sales Manager with Mileage of the company "SERVIS +"

Lancer X pleases high liquidity in the secondary market, despite the background of more than fresh competitors, he is obstructed morally. Age is well noticeable in interior: boring design, cheap materials, poor noise insulation. But Lancer still clings his appearance. Good demand has all modifications. Lancer for an adequate price awaits his buyer a maximum week. The most popular - versions with motors 1.8 and 2.0 and variator. Of course, the variator requires timely service and competent operation, but with him in the city is more comfortable.

The reverse side of high liquidity is increased attention of hijackers and an abundance of fraudulent sale announcements. Focus on prices official dealers - So you cut off a potentially dangerous segment of proposals.

In general, Lancer is reliable and interesting car. It's not so difficult to find specimens in good technical condition Even with decent mileage. However, in my opinion, the tenth generation is somewhat overvalued in the secondary market. You should not consider cars more expensive than 400,000 rubles, because within half a million you can buy cars class above, such as Ford Mondeo or Mazda 6.

Despite this, during operation, various car sores are manifested, requiring car owner intervention and financial costs.

Some problems, such as the massener, are characteristic only for some lancer models X, but there are also such weaknesses that are inherent in the entire range of cars, for example, insufficient insulation of the cabin.

The most problematic is the engine with a volume of 1.5 liters. Even with timely, proper maintenance Its piston rings are clogged. This causes increased oil consumption, increasing pressure of crankcase gases, extrusion of lubricant through seals and seals, decreased compression, increase fuel consumption and deterioration of dynamic characteristics.

Very often, with such a problem, the owners of the half-beam power units are faced with a run from 50 to 100 thousand km. Cutting or replacing piston rings only for a while solves the problem. The overhaul of the motor at 1.5 liters also comes sooner when the odometer shows 100-150 thousand km.

Larger motors are not subject to male. They have a fairly large resource and technically more perfect.

Problems in the steering

The steering rack begins to knock with a small mileage. This is connected with the insufficient strength of the regular sleeve. As a rule, once a high-quality repair resolves for a long time eliminates this problem.

Removed steering rack

The electric power steering is completed only 1.5 liter modification of Lancer 10. Unlike GUR, EUR constantly annivers the driver's faults. Problems arise both on mechanical and at the electric level.

Faults in electronics and electrics

The ETACS electronic control unit is very sensitive to the correct use of relays and fuses. Installing non-original elements very often displays them.

The relay that is responsible for heating the rear window and mirrors is often melted. Also, its contacts are oxidized, which worsens conductivity. Installing a more powerful relay after some time of operation leads to damage in the control unit.

The backlight of the buttons is partially on the LEDs, partly on the lamps with a non-standard connector. Light bulbs are prone to rapid burnout, so the problems of lack of indication on Lancer X are often found.
