Handling
The fact that the Lancer GTS handles well makes the lousy transmission that much more frustrating. The chassis is stiff and composed, with good turn in and only mild understeer at the relatively high limits. Luckily, while the Lancer is tossable and fun, there’s little ride penalty. It’s solid on the road, but firm and not punishing. True, the big tires drum thump heavily over expansion joints, but you hear it more than you feel it. Mitsubishi did its chassis homework on this car, and it shows. Now, if they’d just reprogram that CVT to help rather than hinder the driving experience…
