Hi everyone, for the last week I have been looking for a new car and I’ve been looking at the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 7 and the V35 Skyline and cannot decide what to go for? I still haven’t put my golf up for sale but going to advertise is this week so I can upgrade it.

The lancer has been a dream for quite some time now but my only concern is the fuel consumption. From what I have read and heard its premium unleaded and it does 450km on a tank (city driving). I actually thought for a 2.0 litre it would be better on fuel when cruising.

My mate recently brought a 350z for 37k and I took it for a drive, I loved the handling and the power of the car. I went to Kamikaze Motors and took the V35 skyline coupe for a drive and loved it too, but I wanted to ask you guys a few questions which I forgot to ask the dealer.

1. Can the Bose system radio am/fm work in Australian frequencies & can I get the dvd player, NAV to work as well? If so is there anyone in Melbourne who does such a convert?

2. What do you guys get in km on a tank?

3. Which insurance company covers this car?

4. Would you buy an Evo7 or a V35 and why?

Cheers guys

Erhan

1. you can get a radio converter, but the sat nav etc. doesnt work right now they are working on a few solutions as we speak, do a search of the forum.

2. i get around 500km a tank city driving, around 8km/L and around 12km/L highway driving

3. Any insurance company

4. i wouldnt buy an evo, older car, and i have no respect for drivers of cars that drive themselves.

Hi Erhan,

Please do a search through the topics as all of the questions you have about the V35, have been covered many times. There are also numerous threads on the site which covers the pluses and minuses of the EVO lancers.

Here's a couple to get you started.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
