        Its not a tax thing per se (although that may play a part too). Mitsubishi pays dealers a bonus to register cars as demos. The dealers use this as a way to get some money thrown into the deal to compete on price, so you sell someone an "undriven demo" which is, for all intents and purposes, a new car, but at a really good price and you get the sale.

      My colleague at work got a red XLS for 29300 with rear window dark tint (has kids), bull bar, tow bar, and additional year warranty for 8 total.

      Got it in Ringwood. Might have been floor model but it was new with <100km.

    Absolutely terrible car and not a deal. Only a complete moron buys a front wheel drive SUV, and you'd have to be an even bigger moron to want to buy a car with a CVT.

      FWD only CVT will have the advantage of double the service life for the CVT fluid compared to 4x4 / all wheel drive. Might as well get a proper 4x4 if you go towards that direction. CVT's are not that bad, just depends, what motor is mated with it & what software is implemented. Early generation ones were shocking.

        No CVTs are bad. They are inferior to a standard ZF8 auto. Notice that they literally only put CVTs on the shittiest cars on the market? A front wheel drive SUV is inherently dangerous. It was designed as an AWD, and they just removed the driveshaft/rear diff. They understeer like crazy thanks to this and the high CoG, they are just crazy dangerous in the wet, if you push them only a little.

        • sillyhead on 13/09/2016 - 15:13

          These are a lancer derived chassis. The all wheel drive is an afterthought. They are perfectly safe if driven responsibly.

          Thats one reason why I purchased a Outlander, reminded me of driving a regular lancer instead of a SUV :)

          My sports car is way crazy dangerous in the wet than the Outlander. Never lost control or grip in the Outlander even when moderately pushing it, but then again its a family car not a sports car.

        • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2016 - 15:44

          @sillyhead:

          That's even worse. And they aren't safe, its simple physics.

    • robb6014 on 14/09/2016 - 17:05

      lol please explain why you need AWD in a soft roader? If your not going off road it's just added weight and hence fuel usage.

      • [Deactivated] on 14/09/2016 - 17:40

        No, its added traction. If you want a station wagon, buy a station wagon (you are nuts to get any car with a long wheel base that is FWD, inherent terrible understeer and torque steer). Only complete posers/losers buy fwd SUVs. (The same type of people who stick a wonky M badge on the wrong side of the boot of a 318i).

    I bought this exact car about 6 months ago with light hail damaged to the roof and one side (can only see it in certain light), got it for 20k. It's great for what I use it for which is lots of highway driving, as my driving is around 95% on the highway i get about 950km to the tank.

    I have no problem with power at all, even taking off from lights (I typically accelerate faster or atleast even with the cars around me without needing to put my foot down hard (or even 50%)). If i really need power I turn off eco-mode and it's fine. Most people that complain about the lack of power usually have eco-mode on which limits the amount of power the engine can supply (it's really noticeable if it's on). I've got no idea what peoples problems are with CVT transmissions. Probably the same ones who drive manuals and hate people who are "lazy" and have an automatic.

    I have received complaints from people in the back seat about the seat buckle sticking into them (when I've got 3 people across), when it's just two in the back no problems.

    If you're planning on towing anything big don't get this car, my car struggled on hills with a fully loaded 5x4 caged trailer (stacked to height of cage)- otherwise no problem on hills.

    To sum up, my kid loves it cus' it's "big", it's been reliable (although I've only done 15,000km in it) and you can see everything around you (height plus rear cameras). Although if the price difference was considerably closer I'd of got the larger engine, but at 20k this was too hard to pass up.

    I'm quite interested in this deal but wanna buy the top range Exceed 4WD 7 seats. Price in the website is $44,990 DA, I'd go insane if I pay that sort of money without any discount. Any good deals for that car?

    • zealmax on 13/09/2016 - 15:16

      I am your average driver, that knows jack all about cars. For me I really can't tell much of a difference between traditional auto and CVT. Mechanic tells me CVT are more expensive to repair.

        Today's CVTs generally have less medium/long term reliability than regular autos

        • Name on 13/09/2016 - 19:06

          Anything to back that up? The google I did only came up with "its too early to tell". Btw serious question as I'm keen to know.

          @Name: Hmmm, from a google search they don't seem to have common reliability issues. Just don't get a Nissan Dualis though.

      • pgsn on 14/09/2016 - 18:56

        Guess we may have lot of experience with traditional auto in the mechanics world. CVT is a recent technology and may have some skill shortage in the market. Means staff needs to be trained, obviously this cost gets passed on to the public by jacking the repair cost up?

    • sillyhead on 13/09/2016 - 15:17

      I actually like the CVT. They are maintenance free. They engine break really well. They are good on fuel. They aren't any good in a sports car. But this isn't one. we we an outlander, and let's face it an SUV like this is more like driving a boat than car, once you learn to embrace it all is good.

  • QuicheLorraine on 13/09/2016 - 15:12

    If you look around, you can get the mid range XLS 2WD CVT for another $2k, well worth it for the extra equipment. It isn't hard to get under 8 L/100k around town in these. Ours uses less fuel than our 09 Lancer which is also a 2L, plus with a 63l tank it has the potential to have pretty good range for highway driving.

    They probably aren't as polished as say a CX-5 but they come with a full size spare, more interior and boot space, 5 year warranty with 5 year roadside. We've been happy with ours in the year we've had it. Hasn't missed a beat so far.

    • zealmax on 13/09/2016 - 15:19

      I had a Mitsubishi Colt. Had no issues with it but the car was cursed. It was a magnet for accidents, in the end got written off. None of the accidents were my fault. I miss my Colt. Under powered but it was fun to drive. I think Mitsubishi's have some sort of stigma and are underrated. They are as good as any other Japanese car on the market, albeit a little ugly and interior trim seems cheap.

      That's because there will never be a "new" lancer. The current model is just a facelifted 2007 model. Mitsu aim to be an SUV-only company in the near future.

      Mitsubishi have even hinted at the fact that the Evo replacement will be some kind of crossover.

    Any recommendations for 7 seater?

    • Paladin2015 on 13/09/2016 - 17:40

      I think for around 35K, you should consider either Mitsubishi Outlander or Nissan Xtrail or Toyota Prius V. What is cheapest price we can get for Outlander 7 seater?

      • sal78 on 13/09/2016 - 23:15

        yup we r looking to upgrade 7 seater too. Outlander third row is too small. middle row squashy too.

          Nissan xtrail could be good as well.. Is the cvt still bad for nissan??

        • Geewhizz on 14/09/2016 - 07:30

          Xtrail doesn't have much leg room in the second row

    • pgsn on 14/09/2016 - 18:50

      You probably can get a NISSAN X-TRAIL for value(better) for money. You can even get the better equipped ST-L driveaway for around $35-$36k.
      Here is the link to a Whirlpool forum with so many reviews about current model X-Trail.

  • horsome on 13/09/2016 - 23:31

    We've had this car for over a year, you won't get a car like this at this price with any other manufacturer. Suits young families with great boot space for prams etc. Forget the gripes about the transmission, works fine and the economy is incredible. We get around 7L 100km avg. it's better for urban use but is comfortable in the open road too, once up to speed. Great standard mags,fog lights, Leds. Eco guide for more efficient driving practices.

    My actual gripes are the Eco mode is pointless, interior materials used are cheap and scuff easy, and paint job quality is poor, already have a couple of chips and the metallic finish has no depth, audio system is stock, but you get what you pay for. We paid $30k with extras for this model, if this $28k is the rrp then haggle off $1k or $2k or get some tinting, mats, etc thrown in.

    • gimme on 15/09/2016 - 15:12

      I call BS on 7l/100k. You're either mistaken or making it up or just driving at 80kph on interstate highways.

      • Matt P on 15/09/2016 - 20:14

        Not necessarily. My wifes new car gets high 7s around town and it is heavier and is much higher performance (VW Passat wagon). Full leather interior, nice alloys, power tailgate, really well finished paint and interior, great sound system/gps/built in hdd for music and it was 32 grand as a demo.

        Admittedly, when it hits 5 years old, i wont wan't to own it, but i know what we're like, we will be keen to try something else at that point.

  • Charity on 15/09/2016 - 03:22

    Formula 1 used CVT's in the 80's and were quickly banned for being too fast.

    But… If one understands how they work, CVT's for normal road use is a bad idea by their very nature. In a race car, where high RPM can be maintained, it is very good. This is because to get any advantage from them, you want the engine constantly sitting in its sweet spot (peak power) and the CVT doing the work.

    But as this is not possible on a city road, they don't really make sense.
