REVIEW : I have a cedia sports(white) in Bangalore.The car is fantastic head turner and it responds to every driver input very well.The rolling while cornering is a bit more(coz the suspension is on soft side).But overall an efficient performer and the quality of some stuff(ex:-a/c buttons have to improve!).The sports model could do with some more power as most of us will be using it as a secondary car and the seats befitting a 10lakh car.Steering response is good and one can get milage of 10/11kmpl in city easily.A good car with an execellent package but with a pathetic marketing and exorbitant spare parts!.GM-please do your marketing job else this all round performer will suffer an untold pain and fade away.

REVIEW : The worse car for Indian Roads... it has a HYDRAULIC Clutch system which fails periodically, specially during Winters when the oil is cold... The gears don't work then and you're stranded. Mitsubishi doesn't een have roadside assistance.

REVIEW : Excellent rensponse...thats what this car is all about...The cedia is any drivers fantasy....carrying with it the rally legacy, this car surely does deliver...thiugh a touch low in power, it more than makes up for it in its handling....You just cant get this thing off the road...turns n corners are like a piece of cake at high speeds.The ABS +EDB of the vehicle is amazing, does its job to perfection!As far as looks go, Personally i think the sport model looks way better than the other two....All in all its a car designed to make heads turn....n the steering wheel too!

REVIEW : IFor those who dont want to read the this whole ownership review. the car is an excellent machine. I will rate it 8/10 and certainly worth over corolla, Elantra and optra.
But I expected them to bring in the 162hp Ralliart model to smoke the RS along with the cedia elegance and not just the sports kit.
I bought my Yellow cedia sports in April and today my car has been run-in enough for me to write a review.
Looks
People say Civic will be the most sporty car when it comes. But it's not yet here and cedia is ready and the sportiest looking sedan in C+ segment. The big dials are easy to read and doesnt divert attention as in the civic coupe I drove last month with dual instrument clusters.
The rear lights remind me of the evo all the times. The front is chunky and muscular but the Black smoked headlights leave a lot to be dsired. Fog lamps are surprisingly missing.
HM's homework is always incomplete.
I plan to add fog lamps,white neon-kinda lights, 16" alloys with Tubeless radials, fog lamps and a sunroof with moonroof. and yes blue led's in the engine bay, under body and side-skirts.
interiors- I preffered the fabric to leather as it heats up a lot in Vadodra. the carbon-metallic finish is so nice to touch you will forget Optra's interiors. better touch and decide for yourself. Sitting is comfortable for 3 at the back. I would have loved a sun-roof and some more gizmos in the cabin though to make it as competitive as an optra. Allround visibility is an asset in this car which lacks in the Civic thanks to the A-pillar.
Stereo sounds as good as the competition but I will be adding an ice soon. Again HM has done incomplete homework.
power and FE.
the 2.0 ltr engine is the same evo block and is pretty torquey. infact its the torqiest car in its class. With such torque muscle the car is nimble and effortless to drive in the city and acceleration is available in a spurt in all gears. lets see the civic match this when it comes or the corolla,optra and Elantra now. 120hp is a bit low considering elanra is 127 and corolla is 123 and the civic touted to be 125(usual 5hp detune from 130) but Cedia has enough grunt to keep the cars in check.
0-100 maybe hardly a 1/10th of a second slower than the corolla but take it to the track and corolla will be hard to find. Even the in-gear accelerations are superb and overtaking is a breeze with the torque available at demand. I didnt try the quarter mile as its my personal family performance sedan and not a track sedan.
FE is around 10kmpl in the city with A/C and 13 on the highway. I am planning on adding a turbo, 4-point iridium sparks,a free flow exhaust and K&N conical free-flow with tube. Hope to make the power peak at around 160hp and torque will blow the roof but still cost below Skoda RS's budget.
Ride and handling.
I don't know why Mitsubishi cars always feel the bump and crack of the roads. Ride comfort is excellent except that the rear suspension is always tuned by HM engineers to feel the bumps. My family slept all the way from vadodara to Mumbai at 167kmph.
Handling is the best in the segment and competes with the likes of skoda RS and Mondeo. Honda Accord is not even near. Take a turn at speeds above 130+ and you wont even loose a bit of your nerve.
A/C:- A/c is surprisingly good. in the heat of Vadodara it cools the cabin in the 5 mins of my drive to the office at 10-00 in the morning everyday. the blower is pretty silent the compressor doesnt put load on the engine. I would have liked a climatronic control here though.
While many people whom I talked about the car said its expensive for what I get, they ate their words after looking at my car and feeling the cabin quality. half the people are not even aware of the cedia being on sale. bad marketing by HM. Overall I would rate the car 8/10 due to HM's neglect but I am happy with my car

REVIEW : Its an amazing car, fun to drive, it has everything going for it from looks,power, drive pleasure,mileage and the street presence,,i own the elgance model,,and driven it at speeds of 180 it feels rock solid and the braking is awesome.Own it to experience it, you will never repent.Just that mistsubishi has to market it well,and the srevice at latangi motors bangalore is also good.

REVIEW : A sophisticated family car thats fun to drive. Elegant interiors, excellent ride quality and a responsive engine make it a wise buy. The car is comfortable and steady at speeds in excess of 150 kmph and handles rough roads quite well. A bit of caution is advised while cornering at high speeds. Cabin noise is virtually non existent. Staff at J Williams, Pune are thorough professionals and deliver more than they promise. Overall a great experience.

REVIEW : It was a good car back in 1998 and when they began to put more indian parts the quality began to deteriorate.i had to chage the front struts twice with in 40000kms ,the central lock latch(4000rs).And also why don't they offer the turbo charged version in india...everybody is dumbing their old technology on as....also the prices of spare parts are just too much,,,fuel filter-1700.oil filter-600,brake pads-3000,air filter 900...and it's costlier than skoda

REVIEW : Hi ,
I got my santro Xing XL in January. Believe me its a wonderful car. Its engine is awesome(better than wagon r). My sugestion to u'll is to buy (XL) model of this car and just invest Rs 4000 to 5000 extra for colour bumpers and avoid buying (XO-top varient) model of this car as its gonna save a lot money for u.
