The '04s have speed sensitive wipers of a sort. If you put the wipers on the fastest intermittent speed, there's a short pause in them when you're at a standstill. Once you take off, they go again without the pause, kinda like having the wipers on low constant.

It's not quite true speed sensitive wipers, but it's a start.

 

I read in road and track the 2005 is a 2.2 L mivec not a 2.4 L. anybody know anything about this

 

I doubt a $200 difference in MSRP translates to the slightest bit of difference in the actual sale prices of any Mitsubishis (sale as in the sale, not a specific discount). I mean c'mon, who actually pays MSRP on a Mitsubishi?

That's wrong.

 

Okay. But then, also, they don't mention any change in the wiper system from '04 to '05. I can't confirm the grill because I' haven't seen a '05 Ralliart yet. Hell, I don't have any '04's to compare it with when I do get one. The ONLY Lancer I've got is a white '04 Ralliart Sportback. No Evos, no OZ's nothing else.

 

did anyone think of inflation?

 

oops, i thought we were talking about an evo, not a r/a, I think that the increase is a combination of fuel costs (energy in general ) to run plants, inflation, (about 6% a year), and to cover for warranty.

 

i am in canada and i don't think we get the 3 year maintenance package..
sucks

on my 05 I got : (CANADA)

-10yrs/200K (km) drivetrain warranty
-3yrs/60K (km) bumper to bumper warranty
-3yrs/60k road assistance.

-I DONT have mesh grill
-I DONT have sport pedals either

-I have side airbags (not an option anymore)
-I have the 6cd player that comes with Sun&sound package

theres not much differences compared to the 04.
