The overall body has been redesign and its little bit smooth. To me, this is not an adventurer car anymore like previous strada. Its a clean car, so it wont fit on the muddy road and environment. But, please note that strada triton is 4 wheel drive enabled. There are 4 different options, you can choose Manual transmission or Automatic one.

The interior of the Mitsubishi 2009 Outlander is redesigned, along with the rest of the vehicle, for the 2007 model year, and is unchanged entering 2009.

Not all impressions are positive about the 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander, as reviewers at ConsumerGuide say that "the smallish digital display in the center of the gauge cluster can wash out at times" and lament "the climate controls are mounted too low for easy access while driving." Other than those few gripes, the Mitsubishi Outlander wins praise for a gauge cluster that Cars.com notes "is reminiscent of motorcycles." Reviewers generally approve of the interior design, with Motor Trend calling it "contemporary" and Edmunds adding "the Outlander's interior is attractive looking."

2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse first look

mitsubishi-eclipse-2010-02 mitsubishi-eclipse-2010 mitsubishi-eclipse-2010-01

MSRP $20,699 - $28,408

Syling starts as a smooth bubble coupe look; the profile being a 3-dimensional fast back wedge that dips sharply to the hood, while pumped up wheel blisters and rocker panels anchor it to the ground.
The nose looks aggressive, with multi-lens headlights, yet retains the familiar Mitsubishi twin port grille. At the tail are the smooth, rounded lines so popular with young import tuners fans and we like the mirror finish on the rear spoiler.
Most Eclipse buyers are more interested in style, handling, power, price and now, long 10 year/100,000 mile warranty. A 3.8-liter single-cam V6 with variable valve timing and lift control, output is 263 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.A 162-horsepower 4-cylinder is fitted in the GS. Transmission choices for the GT are a 5-speed automatic with manual shift capability, or our car's sweet 6-speed manual. The Eclipse suspension retains a front MacPherson strut, rear multi-link design, but it's been beefed up and completely retuned. The result is much quicker reactions to input and body roll is also better controlled, and the rear end stays firmly planted. Braking is by standard ABS-equipped discs all around. It brought the car down from 60 in a good average of 126 feet and chassis stability was extremely high.

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer review and photos



MSRP
$14,540 - $26,690
The 2009 Lancer is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan, available in 5 trims, ranging from the DE to the Ralliart.
Upon introduction, the DE is equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, I4, 152-horsepower engine that achieves 22-mpg in the city and 30-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a variable speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The Ralliart is equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, I4, 237-horsepower, turbo engine that achieves 17-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.



Recaro seats are comfortable but there is NO six way setting. That really makes no sense. MPG is not very good. 23 to 24 is the best I can do but with a Turbo it is tough not putting my foot into it, very fast for a 2.0 with turbo. Lots of room for 4 adults to sit comfortably. Lots of shary edges on the steel stampings and tinny doors. I guess for the $$$$ a good purchase. We will see how in holds up.
Good engine & transmission performance, fair price with good rebates and a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty for a Japanese car company. I believe that the 92 years experience of Mitsubishi shows in their cars and carmaking performance abilities.

Mitsubishi Galant 2009 Review





MSRP
$21,249 - $27,649
The 2009 Galant is a 4-door, 5-passenger family sedan, available in 4 trims, ranging from the ES to the Ralliart.

Upon introduction, the ES is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 160-horsepower engine that achieves 20-mpg in the city and 27-mpg on the highway. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The Ralliart is equipped with a standard 3.8-liter, V6, 258-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard.

I recently rented a 2008 Camry and I would like to compare the 09 Galant to that Camry. The Mitsu blows the Camry out of the water. I felt that the Camry had more road noise while driving at highway speeds. I also liked the sport cloth of the Galant much more than I liked the cloth on the Camry. Plus, the Galant is heated cloth. Overall, the interior was nicer on the Galant. Even the rubber dash looked better than the Camry's dash, It would just harder to clean. The brakes were much more responsive and effective on the Galant. I also found the Galant's sound system to be much nicer. The two didn't vary greatly in engine performance. However I do like the fact that a Galant is a 5 spd vs the 4 speed Camry.

The only time the car has let me down is when the ignition key lost recognition of the car and I could not start the car?this happened twice and the second dealer found a lose wire in the steering column, since then no problems with the car. Areas of the car I would improve if I could?
1. The steering radius is not tight enough ? it takes way too much space to turn the car in a circle or to make a U-turn.
2. The driving ?for me- would be more comfortable with a telescoping steering wheel. Wheel adjusts up and down but not in and out.
3. The satellite system is easy to operate however the maps have to be loaded to a CD changer in the trunk and are two to three years behind new construction and are very costly to up-date

2009 Mistubishi Eclipse Spyder First Look



MSRP
$25,949 - $29,149
The 2009 Eclipse Spyder is a 2-door, 4-passenger convertible, or convertible sports car, available in two trims, the GS and the GT.

Upon introduction, the GS is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 162-horsepower engine that achieves 19-mpg in the city and 26-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. The GT is equipped with a standard 3.8-liter, V6, 265-horsepower engine that achieves 16-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional.

I don't have the 2009 edition but I did purchase the 2008 and we shopped for months for a small convertible. We looked at the Sky because it is a beautifully designed car but no truck or storage and we can carry kids, golf clubs, groceries, and two Schnauzers. Love the way the car handles and looks and the top is up and down in seconds with you in the seat pushing a button. Good gas mileage about 22mpg around town. This car has gotten more compliments and head turns from all ages. This happens to be my midlife crisis car and I love it!!!!!!
