Price for Turbo around <RM85k http://www.mudah.my/Mitsubishi-airtrek-turbo-4645980.htm


Which one better ?

Any owner here ?

Nice car

And powerful..

Get turbo very powerful but also lookout for the condition of the turbo..

Nice top mounted intercooler for the turbo version !

of coz turbo better if u looking for power.

Oh, btw, I remember from the list release last time when they just change from RON97 fuel to RON95, the turbo spec of the Airtrek need RON97 to run, while the NA spec version can work on RON95.

wow..nice car with evo engine

Go 4 da twin cam

if care so much about fuel consumption, don't buy this kind of petrol car / suv / 4wd because no matter what kind of fuel it runs on, u won't save a money on fuel, buy something that is lighter and more focused on saving fuel like the honda city or new diesel vehicles. and the answer is quite obvious, of course get the turbo one, the NA one is underpowered and although u'll save a bit on fuel, the difference isn't a lot and u'll become so depressed because everytime u want to climb a little hill u want to burn the car and kill someone...........

anyway, it's a nice car, just don't drive it like an EVO because it's NOT, in the wet u'll still go out of control and crash into the longkang, i know, i saw it before

Ya, tht true, but just making sure he know the turbo version run on RON 97

Cause I saw one person pumping RON 95 into his Turbo spec Airtrek while i was refueling my car

My mother driving turbo version and also using RON95 for 1 month ++ already... no problem so far except engine sound is louder .... even my NA car also engine sound louder using RON95 , btw i change back RON97 already..

buy bmw x5

i'm driving an airtrek turbo, but my advise is dont pump the ron95, coz the engine will knocking like nobody knows...
so far if u r looking for a fuel saving car, forget about this car.
but if u r looking for a powerful turbo suv, this car is ur choice, coz the price is affordable compare to toyota caldina & subaru forester (but both of tht car will call wagon, i think) u can visit to our airtreker.com too for more information about airtrek. TQ

Turbo engine run better on high octane
But you can tune for 95 octane at reduce boost/power of course
Anyway,Airtrek Turbo R can share a lot of EVO stuff so easily can be make into powerful car

Very poor mileage... RM 100 = 400km at most. Plus, you will have to take care of the AWD system.

There are 4 type of oils - engine, gearbox, centre diff and rear diff. Total may cost up to RM 500 easily.

nais info.
keep them coming in.

Both na and turbo fuel consumption not differ much ?

Nelson,
Ask yourself.

If you,instead, bought the TURBO version,I'm sure you will be tempted to release the beast on every straight road, as compared if you owned the NA version, right?

Don't tell me that if you buy the TURBO version,you will do granny driving and granny shifting. If you say yes, you are lying to yourself.

So the answer is there for you to compare the NA and Turbo.Turbo drugs and on boost temptation are 'expensive' sensations.

i damn love airtrek.

what to lookout when buying this beast? Sifus here, Any tips?

Aren't you a bit old for one of these?

First thing to check is the condition of the turbo, actuator, bearings and hoses. I think it uses a TD04 so not a big issue if it is buggered.

Next to check is that semi-automatic gearbox. Make sure it is leak free and the lag between gear changes must be fairly similar else you'll be in for some expensive repairs.

Remember driving one of these in Australia, better be good friends with the petrol station operator as you'll be visiting fairly often

It's weekend car that I will drive once or twice a month. So not an issue. Plan to boast it doing a speedlink evo 7.5MR upgrade. It's a detune evo and not a td4 like the oz models.

The though of an evo under the hood excites me

dont know bout the car you're looking at but, stock, theres quite alot of differences if you really compare it to the evo

.

Can be a sleeper car. Your real challenge is to find one that is worth buying.

Watch the gearbox, presumably you won't be buying a manual? Had an earlier iteration of that gearbox in my previous FTO back in the day when I did not find it an issue to climb into tight spaces and the lowest profile tyres on the largest sized rims that would fit were the best.

I only drive it once or twice a month. So not an issue

Auto or triptronic only. Misses only know how to drive auto.

Yup, I am well aware, but its upgradable. Its a better platform compared to an perdanalution, wajalution or wiralution

Prepared RM15k for upgrades to upgrade to at least at MR 7.5 level. Dunno enuf or not

Ok, make sure the actuators are in good condition, difficult to come by these days.

A gravity defying car, never thought a jacked up hatchback could handle so well for something built in that era.

What does one cost these days?
