our ride here has most of the features plug and play and just not activated for our market.. not sure why..

i read again on the 2nd link, it was not being rated just based on how many airbags our car is having, take a look at other cars, BMW 5 series for this case, only rated 4 stars, don't you think they can have all the airbags (be it skinned or fabrics =P ) they ever need?
mirag3
so even without the side airbags .. the RISE body on Lancers would score well too...i reckon if it isnt 5stars here then it should me at least 4 or 4.5 starts by just minus-ing the side airbags and knee airbags..
LancerWhite

Agree with mirag... GT is quite well built and driving it do give me a solid feel hehehehe biggrin.gif
lancelot
good info, was thinking about this the other when i watch fifth gear and the did some crash testing.

i do agree with kamahraj, the lancer actually comes with tons of stuff, but for malaysia everything was taken out.............why?
can we do like a dialogue with mitsubishi malaysia and request for the really important things like the vehicle stability, airbags...........more concerned with safety stuff...............

i'm sure we should be able to ruffle some feathers at least.............. not to be b*tchy.......but just to teach the money minded jacka** that safety is a key point.

mirag3
maybe can make a list of items not available.. ..

for sure to minimise the price la bro..u know la Malaysia tax already contribute a lot..huhu
mirag3
prolly MMC Japan adapted by using one spec of wirings for all the Lancers... maybe by doing this they can cut down the cost to manufacture diff wirings..which need some word since the wirings are sensitive part .. better make it just 1 spec for all ... then accs can be pnp during the assembly of diff spec Lancers ... in the big picture, it saves cost just by making 1 type of wiring..

Wow, did not know LGT has such a good rating, so happend i also own a Mazda 5 which has the same 5 star from them.

There was one driver with M5 had total lost conndition, but he walked out without not much injury, even the bomba also dont belive it. Eventually C&C used his crashed photo to sell more M5, ha ha!
