Normal, especially if buying the ASX or whatever current car you own is based on a compromise, usually a compromise on price or necessity of use of the vehicle (like forced to buy a SUV when you wanted a sedan).

I have an ASX but I feel like I'd trade it for a Cruze 2.0 diesel. I want a better interior and a more powerful engine. I guess some mods could do that for me? I couldn't quite figure out the graphs in the previous posts. How much HP did you gain? I know you spent a lot of money but, do you think it was worth it? I kinda want to do the same to mine.

The HP gain is rather fuzzy because I wasn't able to do a baseline on the dyno. But the ASX did gain a whole lot of torque in the midrange of the RPM range. For me, the performance gain was worth the price. If you want more, maybe you should have gone for the Hyundai equivalent.

As for the interior, if you aren't happy, you can have it re-done in leather.

I think its normal to envy other cars bro...hehehehe....I envy those guys who can afford to buy and maintain a Ferrari, Lambo, Merc, BMW, Jag and even an Evo X ..satisfaction kasi yung big factor bakit tayo na iinggit sa iba..

Tama si GH bro, modify some of your ASX interior and exterior or even your engine if you are not satisfied..

Naku mahirap yan, baka magtampo ASX mo.

Anyways, think it over maybe this car is not the right car for you. It is normal to envy others since they have supercars like Porsche GT2 or Nissan GT-R, but the way I see it your not that happy owning this car since you even envy cruze owners na.

just shift to Hybrid:
2012 debut likely for electrified ASX as Mitsubishi cranks up plug-in models

By RON HAMMERTON (goauto.com.au)
A PLUG-IN hybrid version of the Mitsubishi ASX compact SUV might beat a similarly electrified version of the Japanese manufacturer’s Outlander on to the Australian market, potentially arriving in as little as 12 months.

Nice news but wouldn't do anything for us since it wouldn't be sold on our shores....

Well, I have a GLS... Just press the release button for the backrest and pull it slight forward to get the more upright angle or push it down to the lower position for the slightly "reclined" position.

Or if you have the backrest fully released, return it slowly until the first "click" or lock engages. That the "upright" position. Pushing the release button and letting the backrest slide further down until the "click" gets you the "reclined" position.

Thats not what I meant. Haha Of course I envy sports cars, everyone does. What I'm talking about it envying cars in the same price range. Kind of like, buyers remorse. Like: "I could've gotten that instead" feeling. Thanks for all the useful help GH but I won't be driving a Korean car anytime soon. I'm a badge snob haha (Please don't lecture me on how good Korean cars are. I'm not ignorant.)
