I suppose I will post a newbie post. I drive a 2006 Lancer ES as my daily car. I originally bought a 2004 Lancer ES brand new and drove it until feb of 2012 when a guy t-boned me at an intersection. Needless to say, the car was written off. I really like the Lancer so I found a low km 2006 Lancer ES so I bought it. The car was a "shopping" car under the previous owner, however I think his wife liked driving their Aston Martin to the market over this Lancer The car was very clean; still had the new car smell in 2012! It was sitting for 3 years in their garage....goes without saying they basically gave the car away Anyways hopefully I can learn somethings from the other members on here. Thanks for reading my post.
