• Best first car options?

  Do not buy a Cruze, or buy a European brand. They will prove costly. It's best to go for the cars that are well proven over many years. The Lancer is a good one, but so too is the Toyota Yaris or Corolla, Suzuki Swift, Mazda2 or 3, or Mitsubishi Colt.

• Mitsubishi Lancer 2009: Multiple safety recalls but I was told I'd have to wait, is this normal?

  I agree, they've issued the recalls and as far as I can see it is Mitsubishi's responsibility to see they are actioned. Their attitude would suggest they aren't terribly interested in safety. Go back to Mitsubishi and suggest to them they need to take more interest in what is a safety issue serious enough for them to issue a recall. If that gets you nowhere write to the company's headquarters in Adelaide and address the letter to the CEO, Mutsuhiro Oshikiri.

• Mitsubishi Lancer 2009: Ralliart wearing tyres quickly

  You’ve got a high performance car with the drive going through all wheels; what you’ve got is what you get. The current tyres are probably the original factory-fitted ones, which will be the softest available to generate the maximum grip and give you the greatest driving thrill. You could go to a Pirelli or a Michelin, both premium tyres, and both should give you better life.
