can give some comparison between them..

I tested both XV and ASX last week also. Here are my brief opinion:

XV (Sport ver)
- Responsive acceleration and quiet engine + gearbox
- Balance steering feel (not too heavy or light)
- Firm suspension, but still acceptable for daily drive
- Plain dashboard layout, nothing fancy
- Intrusive tyre noise above 80kph+
ASX (4WD)
- Noisy acceleration and not so responsive (don't know from engine or gearbox, just noisy ok)
- Light steering (lady driver might like it)
- Like the moon roof
- Comfy suspension

What is the current rebate for highest spec 4WD FL version now?

Mind to share which SA.

4WD
1) Push start button
2) Sky roof
3) Two tone sport rim
4) 7 air bags
5) Hill Start
6) Traction control
7) Paddle shifter
8) Hill start assist
9) Active stability control
10) Security window tint
11) Cruise control

Asking on ASX thread
What answer do you expect?

      mine is ckd

Correction. Traction control don't make the car stable and easy to control. Traction Control only kicks in when u lost traction. Mitsubishi call it Asc @ active stability control. When it is doing its wonder u will see the asc icon flashing on the meter. Otherwise it is just monitoring doing nothing.

I would like to know too.. cannot tahan  the smell

Traction control nothing to shout about.. It's the stability control which is more important.

According to SA traction control only works when in 4WD mode.

Good day to all owners/sifus,

I had been surveying and surveying for the past 6 months and comparing ASX, CX5, XV and HRV

My thoughts(test drove all units):-

1. HRV > out of the list due to torsion beam (handling so so )

2. CX5 2WD > spacious, handling good, performance ok...downside many necessary accessories removed(reverse sensor, front sensor)....also seems got rebate RM4k

3. XV > superb handling(took sharp corner at about 90kmh, can hear the back tyre screeching yet the car moved on without drama)....downside lack of accessories, concern as Boxer engine maintenance.....now price RM114k without GST

4. ASX > test drove before FL model...its comfortable, nice to drive....downside noisy, backseat too straight
    ASX FL > backseat good, sound system improved (on the VAPS feature), the new HU might be Clarion bcoz noticed Clarion using VAPS term and design look similar
My query for FL owners,

1. How is the new CVT feel?
2. NVH improved?
3. Steering EPS or hydraulic?

General query,

4. Fuel consumption figures
Tq 4 ur kind sharing...

I test drove the 4WD FL version that day (too bad as they didn't had the 2WD unit).

Overall I am happy with the performance. However, I got a few questions:

1) May I know what is the exact issue with the pre-FL unit in regards to rear seat? Is it because of the small rear legroom or non-reclining seats or perhaps both? In the FL version, I am not sure but the rear legroom still looks a bit small to me.

2) In the FL version, can we play movie files directly from thumb drives? (e.g. .avi, .mp4, .mpeg etc.).

3) As an ASX owner, what are the reactions/comments that you get from others when they see your ride? (as I understand that ASX is kind of rare)

Cheers.
