Mitsubishi Cedia Sports - Chicago White

This is the most existing day of my life!!
I have just come back after taking delivery of a Chicago White Cedia Sports
The feeling that you get holding a MOMO steering wheels is OUT of this WORLD.
It is a dream come true.
I have been a fan of the Cedia for a LOONNNG time.

I have got lured into the temptations of a Skoda vRS,
- http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/sedans...vrs-cedia.html
- http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/sedans...skoda-vrs.html

I am glad that my relentless search for a vRS did not come through.
Then came a series of pre-owned Cedias and Balenos which just did not come through either.
&
Perpetual confusion between Fiesta 1.6 S and Cedia Sports
http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/sedans...-2008-a-4.html

Destiny strikes
A walk down the showroom of Southern Motors sealed my desire for the new version of the Cedia Sports

The character that the car emanates is something to be felt
- MOMO steering wheel (WOW!!!)
- Oz Racing alloys
- Sport pedals which give you that feel

Having been smitten by “Follow your heart and Dream”
I decided to go with the Cedia Sports.

What makes this experience even more special is because of
- Mitsubishi Motors involvement
- Southern Motors
They have been with me through every grueling step, I know this marks a fine relationship with Mitsubishi and Southern.
Thank you Mitsubishi!!
Thank you Southern!!

I really appreciate all your help, support and care for the same.

First drive
- Taking a new car out on Bangalore traffic is a jittery experience
- My dad was with me when I was driving and we both were in a state of AWE
- It’s was an experience to drive your own car around and keep wondering what is that auto guy doing in front of my car, why is bike coming so close
- This is not my first car, but my sense of attachment makes it more pronounced

Its pretty dark, I would post pictures of the car very shortly.

Thanks Jerish for a complete feedback and experience on the Ford Fiesta 1.6 S
Thanks to Chiran and my good friend ROC.
The drive in his Cedia Sports helped me to make up my mind.

@raajks: Congratulations on your new ride. Wish you many miles of safe and 'sporty' motoring. I too am a big fan of the Cedia. Waiting for the pics, even night shots would do! (a white Cedia in a night shot would look great).

Congrats! Cedia is truly a fun car, and commands respect from most of the TBHPians! Good choice of color too. Please post some pics. And do let us know the on road price in Bangalore, and if you got any rebates / deals.

Thanks!
