    DRIVING:
    I would really like to thank this forum and the reviews for making me a proud owner of the awesome Mitubishi Cedia. The story started when I was looking for a second car to the Scorpio that is most of the time driver driven. There were various factors that I was considering including price(cheaper) size(smaller) drivability (me driving),... etc, so in the category of new the chase was with the smaller cars, ... swift, i20, which were in the 5.5-6.5lk range,... now that I was settled on the price bracket, I started looking at the second hand market also,..... fiestas, city, verna... so to cut a long story short when my broker called saying that there was a white (not my colour) Mitsubishi Cedia (brrr, expensive, never heard of), my first reaction was 'no'...... then came the price, my ears perked, so I told him that I will get back,.... so I checked for online user reviews, and I was really surprised to find that there wasnt a single legit negative remark except that its from HM, so I test drove the next day. 5 minutes and I was sold. Here I was a proud owner of a 5 month 5000km Cedia at 6.5lk, its been three months and I am zooming at the smallest chance and who cares if its white and big (love it). After the purchase I have replaced the older owners ugly faux leather to Stanley light beige and tan leather, upgraded the music system and changed the stock alloys to shinier chrome ones and new Michelin tyres. Now the car feels as plush as any of the high-end boys. It has been to Maya motors in chennai for a change of head lamps(95-100W) and horn(hella for the highway), and they were very helpful, prompt and reasonable. Now the factor of drivability, its probably the best car that I have driven in its class including the new ones out now, torque is very good and power opens at 3000rpm and lasts well into 5000rpm, braking is excellent. I am having a little difficulty with the shifting lower gears as slower speeds, but its only a minor irritant. Overall features, fit & finish is no nonsense and excellent at par with most of the upper segment cars. This week I am putting in a K&N filter, which should boost the performance. Overall I am a happy man on the road and thanks to you guys for making it happen. On a passing note, I know that the car has been detuned for Indian conditions. Do any of you know where I can get a kit to get it to the original tuning, I believe the power can go upto 150bhp+..... anyone in the south who can help...... Thanks again and happy drivingExcellent buy, drive comfort, powerful engine, handling, braking, safety, luxurycant think of much,... only the plane jane look of my white cedia on the outside...
