Honestly, the new base model Lancers are pretty sharp. Mitsu hasn’t been known for their over-reliable vehicles, but I think they’re starting to get their shit together. I’d rock a black one with the chinsy paddle-shift. ---

awd is not evo only. ralliarts come with awd. i have no complaints with my 168hp lancer gts and no you can get 5 speed or 6speed cvt for lancers. the ralliarts come with tc-sst transmission aka twin clutch. evo x comes with either their 5 speed or tc-sst transmission (same transmission seen on the gtr r35) ---

> [@dr.gts](#): > > evo x comes with either their 5 speed or tc-sst transmission (same transmission seen on the gtr r35) Really? I hope you mean in the sense of paddle shifting dual clutch type and not the exact transmission. Plus the thread is OLD old OLD. LoL ---
