I love my GTS I got it with the navi package and the sun and sound package. It is awsome, I had some problems with the satellite radio but that had nothing to do with the car it works now and its awsome. I wish the MPG and the hp were more but besides that its the perfect car i love it!:cool:

What kind of MPG are you getting?
How many miles are on it?
How well does the Navi work compared to other systems on the market?

Very nice. The interior looks a lot nicer than the last gen lancers.

Man, even the non-Evo '08 Lancers are getting me a hot and bothered.

your suppose to get about 22 but I use the paddle shifters like crazy so it kinda drinks the gas a lil quicker.

Haha. How do the paddle shifters work in conjunction with the CVT? Does it rev, shift, and feel like a tiptronic auto would or what?

imagine having a manual car without a clutch. and thats how it is.

Kooldino

Ok, cool.

I know some of the more standard CVTs had a different feel to them in terms of how they'd rev and such, so I wasn't sure how it would work with the paddle shifters.

yeah man I need to get a gas reducer or somthing it takes regular gas but im putting premium so it runs better.

Kooldino
05-07-2007, 08:41 PM
Actually, putting in premium on a car that requires 87 will make it run worse (and slower)

PS - I saw a blue 08 lancer at the carlisle show. I'll have to post the pics i took of it.

No way, I get about 25.5 MPG usually when I get to the pump, I get about 28-31MPG Highway and I do step on the pedal quite often actually. Great Fuel Economy.

With the paddle shifters(im sure you know most of this) but its not like a regular manual, the shifts are much smoother, the rpms only drop about 1k or so, thats very nice btw. Its also much better than other cars Ive drivin that have the like overdrive option, like the charger n such, this one wont up shift for you no matter what, unlike the others, but it does down shift for you if the RPMs drop far enough.

All in all the GTS is a fun DD car, nothing to get to excited over but for those of us that can't quite afford an Evo yet its pretty good fun, and looks great, very comfortable, I'm very happy with it :)
