Dun forget to slap in a good 18" wheels with Michellin PS3 or even Yoko S Drive tyres!!!

got my grey unit last april. didn't know there's a few asx owners here too

all things good, i just jelly those tucson owners who got 17" rubbers as standard

at 1st, oso jelly about the glass roof, but it doesn't make good sense to have glass roof in malaysia...

i need to seriously hack the kenwood HU:
1. remove the parking sensor so i can watch vids on the move (yes, i know one way is to raise the handbrake a litle bit, but it's not nice to see the red light come out at the dashboard)
2. bluetooth unit missing???

3. gps pun tak pasang. apara

anyone got BT and GPS standard with their DDX5036 units?

just a few more info on the asx

i absolutely hates the INVECS III CVT trnasmission. it jerks, slow response and doesn't downshidt as qucikly as a normal auto tranny...

that is after some 1,000km, the INVECS learn and adapt ur driving style. now its more responsive and doesn't jerk as much. it does need to get some times to get used to. but don't expect to have quick acceleration like auto tranny. CVT was meant for FC, not acceleration or speed
the leather seats are actually HALF leather. that's right. only the upper top (the one that touchers your butt and skin) are leather. the rest (sides, back) are PVC. u've been warned
and i still jellly with the full spec ASX that other countries get.nvm the 4wd, bring in the 1.8 DI-D Mivec engine (actually our diesel quality is too bad for that engine)

full ASX feature that i jelly
1. electric seats
2. 17" standard wheels with series 60 rubbers
3. engine start / stop button and keyless fob
4. ASG - automatic start & go function
5. MMMC - mitsu mutli media console which can adjust a lot of the the car settings - like the auto folding mirror, a/c and such
6. sexy LED day light running lights (standard on ASX in Poland)

i dunno how to hack the kenwood HU. that's why i asked. LOL@

anyway, t watch videos while driving (which is dangerous), just raise the handbrake by 1-click and voila. the blank screen turns to video

the projector headlight (sadly, no xenon HID for msia models) are HB3 fr highlight, H11 for low beam and foglamps. these ar einfo from the manual

nice... but it's covering up the lower air vents. the passenger side air vents is used for the ATF cooler (for malaysia cars). the driver side is coverd with some sort of plastic. that's why we need the proper led DRL mounted on the side skirts (additional body kit)

btw, the one in the pic also comes with a headlight washer which is a nice feature not available on our local version

i was going to point that out as well... its almost identical to the other pic

i have to admit, after 2 months of driving the ASX, i grew fond of the INVECS III cvt tranny

it's now very responsive. i guess the TCU adapted to my driving style, or perhaps i have got used to CVT ( i still drive conventional auto tranny on daily basis too)

but then, there's the AC controllers. i dunno why on earth the AC automatically turns off "recirculate air" and open the fresh air intake by itself. while driving comfortably, out of the blue, you have diesel / exhaust / nasty smell coming out from the ac. you look down and then you notice the air recirculation is off. how to disable this uselss feature?

another thing is the engine bay. even with the bonet closed, cats can still go in and SLEEP inside the engine. apparently, the gap at the bottom of the engine and the firewall is so big that cats can slip in. the result is dirty engine cover with cats paw marks and furs everywhere. i have to wait the day when i start the engine and accidentally suck one cat into the cooler fan or what not.

The SA will only be able to activate the auto-unlock feature as this is done using the MUTIII systems they have at their service centres. LEXIA 3 is actually used by Peugeot/Citroen service centres. Check it out at Mitsubishi Forum. Note that the ASX is also known as the outlander sports

Indeed, their poor market share is due to the lack of features as compared to the Tucson and Sportage, both of which are being sold at around the same price. Across the causeway down south, the ASX there has more features eg keyless go, moon-roof, etc.

I've been brought to understand that you can try your luck with asking for a discount (check out www.carlist.my) especially now that the year end is just around the corner.

For me, its a toss up between the Sportage and the ASX. I've yet to test drive the former as there are no test cars available yet. Hopefully with the Raya "rush" over, this will be available soon.

Even my dream X6 starts to look old if put side by sidewiththesportage

the car is only 80000 in Labuan and the sales there is good. I see ALOT of new ASX in Labuan as well as Lancers.

for 80k its a really good buy. but once it comes to KL. the price is not interesting anymore. mostly hard plastic interior but good engine and CVT. the ride height is pretty good as well. definitely worth for 80k. but not for RM 136k in KL.

Are you sure it's 80k? The brochure from the Labuan mitsu showroom is 75k+ but after discount they selling it at 71k+. That's why ASX is everywhere in Labuan, many features but cheap.

i was comtemplating the ASX & the pug 308T (not the 3008, for some reason, i really don't like the nose of the 3008). After test driving both cars, I chose the 308T over the ASX. In fact, I think if the 308T was at the price of the ASX, I will still buy it. But even if the ASX was at the price of the 308T, I wouldn't buy it. It is just simply not worth the money.

The ASX has the exterior looks that attracts me to it in the first place. This is one handsome car indeed. And it has got that modern cross-over look that will look great during a cross country drive or urban drive. However, these are the only 2 attributes which I can say is a plus for the ASX. It seriously lacks any form of luxurious features inside an overly simple and uninspiring interior. No doubt the interior is not cramped, but for a car this size and this class, I was expecting a lot more space. The engine's performance is nothing to shout about at all, sounding both lethargic and stressed. Plenty of grunt, but no go.

The 308Turbo, on the other hand, had great looks too, both exterior and interior. The panoramic glass rooftop is easily my best loved feature, making the interior bright, but does not allow our Malaysian's polluted air into the cabin, unlike a convertible car. And that roof expands virtually the whole length of the interior, unlike a conventional sunroof which is small. Yes, the 308T does not have a double DIN TV head unit. But I can easily forget about that since watching TV while driving is never a priority to me anyway. And it has got bluetooth! The seats are not leather, but they are bucket seats! The interior space was really surprisingly good, both front & back and the seats are comfortable to seat 4. This is a classical case of packaging a big sized car into a shape that looks small. And it is a seriously quick car! The 1.6L turbo engine has great power & torque, with very very good handling to boot. And the road tax is also cheaper than the ASX! I know for sure that the 308T will be able to outrun the ASX anytime, except maybe over speed bumps where the ASX's ride height means it is less likely to hit bottom, but then again, you don't really whack speed bumps like a speed demon anyway...

A note about after sales service. It is a highly localized preference. For instance, in my case, Mitsubishi does not have its own service center here in Kota Kinabalu. It is done by the reseller / authorized agent. And my research so far had lead me to conclude that the service standard is nothing great. Peugeot, on the other hand is done by a big authorized agent, which also carries the Volvo brand and the HINO industrial vehicle brand. I have a HINO truck which I send to them for service & repair. Their service had been very good thus far.

... and the final point. If I'm a thief and saw a 308T & an ASX parked next to each other, I would probably want to have a go at the ASX rather than the 308T! Hahaha....

p/s: The above are just my own opinion and conclusions based on my own unique requirements which I had set before going for the test drive. It is meant as a reference and not meant to condemn the ASX. I only want to highlight what I wanted in the ASX, which was not there and caused me to choose the 308T instead of the ASX. It may have features which a potential buyer is looking for, so to all current & future ASX owners, congrats on your purchase and enjoy the car lah... You can read opinions and discussions, but in the end, the money is still yours to put in for the downpayment and service the loan. There are no perfect cars, just the car that suits you the most. Peace.
