I really like the appearance of the car and how it feels spacious inside. The paddle shifters are really really fun. The CVT does not like to run in high rpms or go fast but it does like to conserve gas. I like to switch between auto and manual depending on my mood.

This car is one of the most amazing cars for the price it is. Mitsubishi really delivered, this car is so much fun to drive and have. I love to be seen in it and all. If you have the chance to get this car, do it you will not regret it at all.

Okay there is the DE Lancer the ES Lancer and the GTS, I own the GTS and I just don't see the point, because it looks just like the others. I have the CVT transmission which makes the 0-60 an astonishing 11.7 seconds. It is extremely underpowered and overpriced for that power, you can get the same car in the DE or the ES. you can order the same accessories as well. The car weighs 3100 lbs, and puts 139 hp to the wheels. I put rims on my GTS and it looks amazing, but needless to say wouldn't they all. I would also say get it without the spoiler if you ever hope to see out of the rear window. It is a great car I can say that!

The Lancer met all expectations; (except no leather), great fuel economy, some of the highest emission standards, great handling, especially for New England roads.

Love my 08 Black GTS with Sun/Sound and Nav/Tech. It handles great, firm and sporty but not harsh, with precise steering and excellent balance with little hint of over or understeer even hard into a curve. Fit and finish on the exterior is excellent, same on the interior (I question the carpet and 'crushed velvet' lint brush interior cloth). The NAV system is precise, the stereo very good with lots of power but decent clarity. Mileage so far is great too. The MT/Paddle CVT setup is actually pretty good, but almost demands you manage it manually if you want a sporty drive. Definitely could use more HP, 10-20 more.
