Hey I'm new to the site. I was just wondering if anyone owns a 2009 Lancer.What they think about it. And how much they paid for it. I really like the looks of the car. Theinside wasnt bad either.I was at the local dealershipMonday looking at a red one. it was theGTS CVT model. Sun and Sound package witheverything else besides the Navi. For 22,008 bucks. I didnt get to test drive it. They were about to close.ButI'm going next week. I just wanna know ifI will be investing 22000 + bucks intosomething that willbe fun to drive andthat will last me. Any info will be greatly apperciated!Thanks

 

Hey man I just bought a 09 a month ago not even had a lot of trouble with the low pressure power steering line had to take it in twice I bought a 09 Lancer ES Sportw/ Standard transmissionglad I got the sport it was another $800 but i felt it was worth it I bought it in Ocala, Fl I went to 13 dealerships before I bought it I ended up under $17,000 out the door Its is not the GTS with the 2.4L, but whatever. The 2.0L has enough power to get the job done, though. Feels great handles well I think you'll love it too! Engine is kinda noisy as well as the A/C clutch kicking in and out but otherwise I love it!

 

ya i changed my mind on getting the CVT im going to go ahead and get the stick. they are much more fun.

 

Great idea! Not to mention you will get better gas mileage.

Welcome to the forums.

 

ya thats what i have heard. but i think i have made up my mind. the car just looks so great. lol

 

I bought an 09 ES a few weeks back.. Test drove a bunch of vehicles, and the new lancer was great. I opted to get the SE over the GTS just for the fuel economy. But the SE is quick enough to easily pass cars on the highway. You'll love the car, its great!

What City is that on your pic?

 

I bought my '09 Lancer GTS M/T a week ago (also in Rally Red it so happens). Love it so far. I have both the Sun and Sound Package and the Navigation Package and walked out of there $22,150 lighter. Worth it in my opinion.

I test drove the ES, also in manual, and the GTS just has much more pop to it. I think it's worth the extra cash, but I'm also a sucker for speed. All in all the car handles very well, slightly jumpy on rough surfaces, but not too bad. One thing I noticed about the GTS over the ES is the GTS is slightly more weighted (or so it feels when you drive it) giving you a more solid feel when driving.

Let me know if you have any specific questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

 

i Think it is heavier because of the rims 18 on GTS and ES 16. Mine is 16 on my ES.

But the engine are the same. I don't see making it more faster than the ES
especially with your big wings and rims.

But I am glad you bought a bargain with everything with it not aMazda3 or 6 that everyone in Massachusetts are driving.

I love to see a rare car on the road when everyoneare driving the same car like Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Mazda.

When you see those cars you feel special because you don't see a 2008 Lancer all the time.

That's how I feel.

 

The engines aren't the same in the GTS and ES. The ES is a 2.0 liter, 152hp engine. The GTS is a 2.4 liter, 168hp engine. The wings and rims might not make it faster, but the extra 16 horses sure do.

Seriously, what is up with Mazda's in MA?? Everywhere I go I see someone in one of those things, which is one of the main reasons it wasn't on my radar while buying. Something nice about being an individual. Nice car, but the new '09 GTS is giving it a run for it's money. Can't wait to put a little work into it (once it's paid off).
