When HM-Mitsubishi launched the Cedia in India, the engineers paid a lot of attention to the car’s ride and handling characteristics and it shows. On the Indian spec set-up, the Cedia strikes a near perect balance between ride and handling. The only minor compromiseseems to be the low speed ride which is due to the stiff suspension and low profile tyres. At higher speeds the ride improves considerably and the Cedia's poise is good, although that typical Japanese lightness is present. The Cedia has one of the best ride/handling combinations of any car currently made in India.

The suspension is very refined, and you never hear the clunks and thuds that you get in most other mid-size cars. It rides over most surfaces brilliantly and is a hoot to chuck through a series of corners. The steering and gearshift have a precise feel and enhance the driving experience. It really doesn’t come as a surprise to know that the Cedia is the car of choice on the National Rally circuit.
