i bought a 2015 mitsubishi es sport lancer, for 20k. brand new, comes with 5 year insurance and has some cool features like reverse camera, a dashboard, etc. could i have got something better for 20k? the good thing is that it's brand new and a 2015 car and doesn't look too bad. mitsubishi is also reliable in australia and parts are easy to repair and cheap. also i still dont have my full licence since im 18 so this is like one of the fastest cars for a p-plater.
thoughts?

The MSRP for that car is like $17.5k and rearview camera's are included in core packages almost universally. What else got added in? If nothing, I got bad news.

The trouble with being punctual is that nobody's there to appreciate it.

I would not have dropped 20k on a brand new car at 18. Your insurance will cost you more as well. I don't know your financial situation so it's hard to judge.
If I had been you, I would have bought a lease return or a decent second hand Honda or Toyota from a reputable dealer.
Twice as cheap + cheaper insurance.Miscing since 2006; miscing until I'm dead.

He gets 5yr insurance with it.
Not a bad choice OP, 20k seems cheap. Especially with the way the AUD been going
Edit: but yea I wouldn't have gone new
