2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
These seats desperately need more lumbar support. They're okay in short distances, but I really want the Recaros from the Evo a few hours in. Stronger side bolsters would be nice for hoon duty, too. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review

What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 152-horsepower 2.0L I4
CVT FWD
I don't expect much out of entry-level cars but the base engine is 152 hp and performs great. Originally I thought the CVT engine was loud but it is still quieter than the Focus or Corolla. Accelerates great and easily gets around slow moving traffic. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
2010 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
Good balance of power and economy. Good driver car for a commuter. Do not miss the Civic SI after months of ownership. Paddle shifting is quick and crisp. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 237hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual AWD
Gobs of power from 2500 all the way to redline. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
2009 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
It is fast and smooth see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
2009 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
The 168hp engine is not to be compared to the evos 291hp engine but it is a nice compromise between performance and fuel economy. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 291hp 2.0L I4
5-speed manual AWD
AWD with YAW control and twin scroll turbo(quick spool) and has pontencial for more power if modified. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Powertrain: Cons

2009 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
The CVT transmission loses a LOT of power between the crank and the wheels and leaves very little in the way of performance options for the automatic driver. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review

2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Tires: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I4
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
18" tires are EXPENSIVE! The OEM Dunlops that came with it are pretty meh: a bad compromise between a summer tire that wears out fast and an all-season that's not very grippy. They had the worst characteristics of both. Also, no matter what you get, it'll be expensive and you may have to deviate from the stock 215R18/40 size to get the tires you want. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review
