The cedia is significantly better than the VTEC NHC in just about every area other than resale.

u can look at abt 30k as discount from the total price....which i think is great for the car, bringing the price down to abt 9.3 for the select.

So @csr, tell us already, how much did you pay?, and how is she doing now?

And rear seat comfort?, I have heard cedia lacks it by quite a bit.

Rear seats have poor thigh support for tall people, 5'9" + Leg room or comfort is not an issue.

Works for most of us since Cedizens almost never like to get driven!

^^The rear seat is bad but not much worse than the NHC. Just sat in one a few days ago.

Any idea if there is someplace where you can pick up better plastic bits for the ac controls for the cedia?

Well... I'm back after some gap! Coming to your question, I paid 6.7L overall and was very excited to have got such a deal but later when I looked around in the second hand market and enquired with other dealers they say it's not a great deal, but not a bad deal either. It's hard to find a genuine vehicle and that too a vehicle which is run so less for which I must have paid a premium of ~25-40K still, they say. I've no complaints - I feel I bought it for what it's worth, especially when I look at the price tag of new fabia & Civic!
Coming to how it's doing now, I'm completely satisfied with my buy. None of my friends who has seen it so far could believe that it's an used car when they looked at it first time until I revealed it to them. I added another 1.6K already to my odometer since I bought it. I'm getting around 9.5-10kmpl in city, A/C always on. Still to test it's max speed and highway mileage. I shall post some more details and pictures soon.

hi guys, mitsubishi all of a sudden is promoting the cedia so heavily that it makes one wonder if there is more to the story... i mean is there any chance of a revised diesel launch of Cedia at higher price range and the present petrol being sold at lower prices once the present stock is over... knowing mitsubishi it seems possible, i mean look at what they did with Pajero, in span of two months, now they offering a far far better Pajero at same prices... can someone please throw some light here??

I havent seen many yellow cedia sports here.Most of them are either red or black.I had a short drive of the cedia a few days back.Wonderful car altogether and great handling too compared to my verna.Hope it had a diesel though.

hi poosh i had spoken to the dealer at the time of buying my cedia about a month back...at that time they had told me that some of the top management have been moved out and guys from mitsu japan have come in their place, and to expect some changes on the marketing and sales side soon.looks like this is now happening.i have also seen maybe more cedias in the last ten days than i have seen over the last two years.this could be because i am now noticing it compared to before but thats that.

Well, if Mitsubishi starts on its own in India, it would certainly mark their agressive presence here.. if that happens, I can see only more cedias/new lancers on the roads..
