The entire vehicle is warranted for repairs, including parts and labor, to correct problems in materials or workmanship, for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first (except normal maintenance). The warranty covers towing to the nearest Buick dealership, and there is no deductible for warranty repairs during the warranty period. The warranty transfers automatically with vehicle ownership during the warranty period." However, Mitsubishi's and Hyundai's says that the Audio systems, amps, nav systems dvd players or cd changers are only covered for 3/36. Furthermore, the refrigerant charge was only good for 1/12. Again, my warranty covers EVERYTHING (except normal wear items) for 4/50, and the powertrain for 5/100. No "exceptions"

Was offered Malibu LS's all thru past year in the $18's. If this was bad pricing, then Accords and Camry's are in the what, $17's? I'll go price an Accord 4 cyl auto now for kicks.

Replying to: dave8697 (Nov 07, 2009 7:30 pm) Can't imagine you'd get much of a car for $18k regardless if it's an Accord, Camry, or Malibu. Heck, a Civic can easily go for nearly $20k. Chevy.com shows the Malibu starting at $21,800. Granted, I didn't build one or look at rebates etc. Accord is $21k. Would have to look at standard equipment to get any kind of apples to apples comparison.

with some fine new products, including their all-electric i-MiEV. A new smaller SUV with AWD is in the works and the continuing success of the new Lancer and Sportback Lancer, and Outlander SUV. Eclipse and Galant are not selling real well, true. So it's not true that nobody cares about Mitsubishi. You could really say that someone like me really doesn't care about Toyota. That statement would be true for all intents and purposes. There's always gonna be people like myself who appreciate good and interesting and exciting and fun to look at and drive cars. Mitsu fits that bill nicely. Indeed my 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS has performed flawlessly and that car is the car I want to drive the most. Out of all cars made on the face of the earth today. That is the one. And I am a happy owner of one of those Lancer's.  Life is good. I'm not worried about Mitsubishi staying around. I read all of their press releases and they're staying for the Long-Haul. They just won an award for excellence in design for their new i-MiEV all-electric car from the Japanese Automotive Hall of Fame. They're doing just fine. Too many dorks in the U.S. are severely corn-fused as to what a good car is and is not and that's the real problem here. I'm serious. Mitsubishi relies on it's parent Mitsubishi Company to keep its automotive company going through thick and thin. As of now their CEO states they're staying in the U.S. market. I'm pleased as punch to know that, car-nuts.

| the problem I have with the Civic is that Hon-Duh forgot to design it's body. Mitsubishi takes care of that little detail with their Lancer and EVO. | |
