Living with a Mitsubishi Cedia after I broke my knee in an accident

I could no longer use my bike and had to use the Cedia for my everyday 50KM commute.

BHPian SunnyBoi recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

I had an accident a few days before Christmas this year and broke my knee. This meant I could no longer use my bike and had to use the Cedia for my everyday 50 km commute. I used the car for 6 weeks and racked up a lot more KMs than I did the past 1.5 years easily! Car had some hiccups but nothing critical.

Sigh, one of these failed, and changing gears became a massive headache. I somehow got the hang of it, drove it that way for a week, and finally, once I was back in my hometown, swapped over to the stock bushes

Fancy an OZ wheel for a M2? No? oh okay...

The car gets its first pressure wash in 5+ years. There's a massive stain on the roof thanks to water leakage in my parking spot. Sigh

Of course, the paint on my alloys flew off with the pressure washer. I did a horrible job last time so I wasn't surprised.

Punctured tyre. Second one in a month, RL first then RR. Got it fixed at Madhus for now. The car definitely needs new tyres soon - the P3STs have more than enough tread but the tyres have become hard.

..and trees. By now I fixed that horrible stain on the roof.

I've been getting stellar mileage lately, 16+KMPL on the highway and 12KMPL in the city with my everyday commute. I am very impressed!

Well, that's it for now. I'll hopefully change the oil tomorrow if I don't get too lazy as I have a small drive coming up on the 25th of this month.

That said, Cedia's replacement has been identified and might come home soon. I'm not very sure if I'll be keeping both cars or if the Cedia has to leave. I'm in no hurry though so let's see!
