Note to enthusiasts: Get a stick

Fun to Drive

The most fun we had with the Lancer was going downhill. There, we didn’t have to worry about the troublesome transmission and could just enjoy the car’s handling balance. It turns in and sticks, and promises great things when the turbocharged Evolution debuts on this platform in a few months, or even the GTS 2.4, with its bigger and more powerful engine. However, when we had to shift for ourselves, the CVT’s intrusive nature made us concentrate too much on finding a good ratio, ruining the experience.
