But you really arent shifting, its just setting the transmission to those set ratios.... personally I think its lame lol

 

get the CVT.... nothing is less fun than sitting in traffic rowing through gears endlessly.

 

Matter of opinion...

 

matter of opinion is correct.
and my opinion is manual or nothing.
i like my clutch and the control it gives.

also please spare yourself, no chrome. [&:]

 

Alright, Alright no chrome. But its lookin like I might have to go with an 08 instead.

 

you do know there is a difference in engine size and power from 08 to 09 right.
the 09 has the 172 hp 4B12 2.4 and the 08 has a 152 hp 4B11 2.0
is there an availability problem with the 09??

 

Sebba is totally right.

CVT is bad ONgas, use cruise control more oftern and pretend thatthe cruise control as a Paddle shifter. i used it all the time like a paddle shifter and I drive a manual ES

CHROME on a 2009 Car. That is so old shool I prefer Gun Metal or carbon Fiber sheets it is real carbon fiber put you can cut it into different sizes or shapes.

Please by the Ralliart if you wanna go faster than the GTS or almost has fast like the Evo Lancer.

Beside driving a regular LANCERis not REALLY slow it feels heavy But it depends how you drive it.

Mine can Overtake 5 cars in 60 seconds on 4th gear. Believe it or not
They can Accelerate fast that's the good thing about the Lancers just like the Mitsubishi Zero fighter of WW2.

 

Yeah it was avalability. It was either an 09 silver or the 08 electric blue. Deal that I had a hard time passing up. sun and sound, fast key, nav, under 23,000.

 

Hell of deal!

 

I just got my 2009 Lancer GTS CVT. Having driven the 2008 GTS for a while, the extra 26 Horses (168 vs 142 california) under the hood makes a noticeable difference.

Other minor differences:
Speedometer is not red anymore
I added the option of the "Lancer" alloy fuel door andscuff plates (looks very nice cuz i got silver)
Carpool lanes added to Navigation
