well my advice is tide up ur seat belt while driving and not to watch dvd while driving! LOL!!!

Hey still is HID lamp able to install after purchase?

ASX is not that big actually.. for the one that owned Waja.. Waja space is definitely bigger than ASX.. i'm around 176cm tall.. and my knees left 1cm before touching the front seat when i sit behind.. then the headroom not that much... myvi is more spacious than ASX.. but of course.. different category..

for me.. the rear is almost like sitting behind the Dugong Vios.. sorry ya.. no offence.. =) mayb because of the smaller window.. makes me feel the car is small..

hm... exterior, waja is almost 20cm longer than asx and asx is not much wider than waja (~3cm) however asx is almost 20cm taller than waja i really didnt notice that car to be so small during my visit in show room. omg

Added on March 2, 2012, 12:59 amsince asx is just 2WD in local, will it be slipery during rain and drive on highway with its high body? maybe drive like 130km/h in wet road.

found these guys drive it that way... just wonder is that a 2wd or 4wd...

i'd desrcibe the ASX is "compact" rather than small, and yes, waja has bigger interior than asx, but don't foget, the asx has very thick "walls"

1. the dashboard itself is almost 2-foot long - no sun ray kena your laps on very sunny day + more chance to survive a head on collision (god forbids)
2. the doors + door card is more than 10" thick
3. the sloping rear tailgate make sure u look like a bmx x6 rather than an suv

in simple words, that's what you get with a proper "crossover design" (too many cars claiming to be crossover nowadays)


with the soo many electronics for the ASC - active stability control, the car is very tame even on slippery road. just don't try to be a hero - no 4wd can save you from that

body roll is very minimal, and as many car review sites confirmed, the asx handling is pretty close to that of a sedan, rather than an uprigth suv

and one of the most fuel efficient.

Cool. That's the way it is done, i will go for asx

G'day mate,

Can you give me some guidence on the type & brand & where you got the LED daytime runnig lights for the Mitsubishi ASX??


Just wondering!

kb448

town driving, i constantly hit 8.5L/100KM - that is normal driving, not super light footed driving economy style

that's pretty good for a car



here, http://www.asxownersclub.com/forum/4-discu...-led-drls-guide

we discussed this one a few months back. apparently, malaysian ASX models have some sort of cooler (most probably the CVT cooler) at the passenger's side lower vent, so it won't be wise to block the vent with the DRL

Well...the diy method is not for me lol... can send to acc shop for it?

Got that....thx for the info regarding the bulb type...
Today go ask SA they said he also dont know how to setting the HU...
But just not saw Velent sharing only know...thx too will do that next week

The euro version ASX got DRL which come standard/optional accessory is very nice unfortunately asia version not available...
This is the second option...i think not bad lah...HI-POWER 5module DRL

G'day

Can you tell me the where the owner of this ASX got his DLR? they look flush with the body work!

Very sad to tell u guys that this car become too expensive for me... so temporary have to wait another year or so...

better get it quick or you are going to get cbu from indon...

on the other hand, i thought the price only slightly increased? rm 141k for the new one (17" wheel), 139k for the older version (16" wheel)

Hi Lucifah,

You mean the coming yr2012 car will be made in indon?

I plan to wait for 2012 car cos if buy now it that will be a 2011 made, already lugi 1yr deppreciation. And i expected this car depreciation to be around RM15-18k/yr

MMM only plans to set up the ASX assembly line in indonesia, not implementing it so soon

2012 models should still be japan cbu


i think the ASX with 17" wheels and keyless-start-button should be 2012 models as it's not economically feasible to retrofit the start-go button on existing 2011 stocks

edit: i just re-read paultan's article: http://paultan.org/2012/01/26/mitsubishi-t...ting-this-year/

but u can always check manufacture year on the chassis nameplate, just at the driver's door lower frame


i have a 2010 clearance model, bought in 2011, with huge discount (5k disc). and i'm not a person who sells car to get a new one, so 2nd hand value is not too important.

seriously, this car will look nice on 18" wheels. just that 18" tyres are too expensive, and will affect ride comfort.

SA offer -RM2000 for me... which makes the car RM139k for 2012 model. I start thinking to get it now lol... but already too late, i'm very regret i didn't grab one during the first 100 units free 7x acc...

all i can do now is negotiate the SA to free me a gear knob...

is that a confirm start from april ASX will become CBU from indo?

I like to have SUV in future. Which one a better buy ASX or Kia Sportage (Since the price more or less same) ?

mitbom? u r offered a discount for the 2012 model? were u told if it's for car manufactured in 2011 or 2012? the new model is released early feb2012 and called the 2012 model. however, the cars are manufactured in 2011, thus losing a year if u plan to resale short term.

production starts in april, so expect a few months to arrive to malaysia shore

price? maybe maintained, but with better spec (panoramic glass roof anyone?)

since you come to this thread, almost everyone here will say the ASX

the only few advantages the ASX have over the Kia are that the ASX is Japan CBU (quality assured) and a mitsu brand (reputation)

as for specs, the Sportage offers more gadgets - and the nice 18" wheels. but many ppl still have issues with korean mentaility. some review sites also mentioned about quality issues (fading interior plastics after few months, etc.)

both are very compact, i.e. small

I have asked the SA, 2012 manufactured stocks have not arrived yet. current stock are all 2011. Thats why i also waiting for 2012 if not lost 1yr depreciation thats killing (easily RM15-25k!).

Lucifah,
Is it confirm the new batch will have panoramic roof??? i always wish ASX would have/be:

1)panoramic roof
2)top sunglass holder
3)gps installed
4)no beep-beep for unfastened safety belt
5)more compartments

then it will be a perfect car for me
