Looking To Bu A V35 Coupe

[Erhan]

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

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.
