  Hi, I am gng to buy a mitsubishi Lancer 1.6GLX Automatic version... currently driving a manual mode car though it do some FC saving but very troublesome and have to hand brake on slope even on a gentle slope. So now getting a Auto one instead.. pls advise me whether is it good to buy the car now? current price now is $56988 and with 2K rebate. this is a auto basic lancer. For SPORTY one it will cost $62988 which is 6k more..
  
  Will plan to add on the spoiler and sport rim. anyone know where can have a cheap modification of body kits and all sporty stuff....
  
  Would it be advisable to get a Auto basic lancer?? pls advise me on the FC for this car... I heard is 10 ~ 12km / litre. that's low... my current car have a 14km/litre. Nowadays the petrol havs increased crazy to $1.61 / litre for class 95 type. so sad.....
  
  Anyone think that the COE will further reduce?? current COE is ard $17k which has just rise from $16k.. I intend to buy on OCT. So can place a deposit now... but if the COE will go down then I don't mind waiting for another 2 months.

  hi dtaytc, yes it is true the FC is not very satisfactory but i assure u you will enjoy the drive....very good handling when making S turn and U turn.....
  
  my lancer (auto) is about 1 year old already and the FC is always around 470-490km before every refill....(equals about 10-12km/l) but that is on Shell98......it becomes sluggish if you r using 92 or 95......hope this info is of use to u....cheers
