if you take out the boot cover, yes

but then you'll run out of space

well said..most parts from proton are 10% cheaper...oil filter is one good example. rm34 vs rm 37 by mitsu.

Yea the spare tire eats alot of space. If you fold the pram definitely can fit lar. Like the above poster Said, you might need to remove the boot cover. However it should be sufficient for daily use. You can fold down.one of the 60-40 seats if you really need to.

I'm also planning for a kid soon. The asx is the best value for money family vehicle Imo. Alot of rear seat space for inlaws and high riding position for safety and visibility. The boot cramped because of the spare tire which makes the boot shallow. But bear in mind this is not the crappy mini tires you get from Mazda but a real spare tire.

At this price range it's either the Asx or the Tucson. I prefer sushi over kimchi any day if same price. Tucson also getting dated already lar. If up your budget Abit, cx5, sportage and Crv are slightly bigger in terms of boot space but they cost 20-30k more for almost the same car.

Anyone know is there any promotion for ASX 2WD ? Thinking to pay a visit to mitsubishi show room.

One more silly question i would like to ask, is there a big different of price between 16 and 17 tyre ?

Just want to makesure it didnt cause much for maintenance of the car.

17" wheels will have worse fc (though not so significant)

and as always, bigger wheels = better look

plus 17" tyres are generally more expensive than 16"

mine's an 18" wheel. should have gone for full 19" but rm 700 / pc tyres are putting me off. 20" is way too big for ASX wheel wells

with 16" wheels:




18" wheels:

2 years maintainance free.. that the only offer they got.

2wd less features compare to 4wd..118 vs 132 otr..

I test drive last saturday at glenmeries 4wd version..

Drawback.. rear seat it to uncomfortable for long distance..

For luggage.. have to install thule hahaha

so cx5 or asx?

2.0 will be underpower?

I think power enough for this Size of car if daily use. The only more powerful suvs are the forester and the cx5 2.5 which are 165-200+k.

During test drive I feel it was sufficiently powered. Nothing amazing, just ok.

As for Cx5 vs Asx.

Cx5 pros:
Bigger boot, nice handling, good looks.

ASX pros:
Nice looks, very manly front grill. Price, newer model, parts share with lancer/inspira so long term spare part no issue and long warranty.

If money is no issue, I would definitely go for the 2.5 CX5. But in terms of cost of ownership I decided on the Asx because it's much cheaper, good long term maintenence due to plenty of lancer/ inspira parts. Definitely asx is much cheaper to own. 2.0 plus high riding height with good rear seating space plus decent boot size is enough for family man like me.

@ lucifah, nice rims!

very underpowered

for me, must at least put a 4B11T with 300hp in it then

but seriously, 150+hp with just 1,350kg kerb weight is more than enough for this car. it is the CVT that is letting down the whole package

u lose as much as 50hp at the wheels due to the CVT

tq. the 18"" tyres are expensive. the wheels are not. (RM800 for those set of 18" mitsu lance wheels)

decent boot space? u need to remove the boot lid and keep it in the house so u can have more space

i have to admit i constantly struggle with boot space at the back. installing thule roofrack will eat your FC

under power.??. maybe the one who said so use to drive a better car...

installing thule and only use to balik kg

Yea definitely have to remove the lid if I need to carry stuff. I'm still waiting for my car to be ready. Hope can get before end of Feb. Loan, car plate all ready to go!

trade in the 17" and replace with 18" or better yet 19" for more ganas look

u can trade in the 17" at higher price if it is still brand new

Ckd 2wd comes with 16 inch rite? If change to 17 or 18 will it increases fc by a lot? Btw how much can new 16 rim n tyre can be traded in for 17 or 18? I think u r from sibu lookin at the pics u posted. How is the trade price in sibu? Any clue?

i didn't trade in the 16" as i swapped it for my older x-trail use

using 16", i can get as low as 6.8L/100km

with 18", i can only achieve 7.4L/100km, which is not bad, considering how the 18" weighs a lot more than the 16" lightweight enkei OEM wheels

but the trade off in FC is offset by the good look, i believe

have u tried re-map? im sure u knows bout it already

sadly, there is no one in town that can do that

all are in KL or some other parts of peninsula. if not, i'd gone for the full package to do auto-locking and ECU remap, which is worth the money

IIRC, remap can only be done for first gen ASX, aka the 2010 to 2011 model w/o push start button

Any good shop with good tyre trade in price u know of?

120k is still a big ask. Need to get the next car right considering baby comin too. If the boot space is bigger, probably will not be thinking twice. Baby pram... Wat else need to be fitted in the boot? No experience yet!

Not true.. If the guys know how to decode the hex file basically all can do.. But many juz simply copy and do.. Hence they know nothing about it.. So tak sama kenot do.. I did a push start asx before.. Infact an euro edition
