    mga sirs,

    I just bought a GLS CVT this month, its my first time to buy a mitsubishi. Kunin ko sana Civic, kaya lang hindi naman sa akin sa Mrs. ko, laki kasi price difference at ang dealer nagbigay ng 55K discount sa downpayment. Any tips po about engine and CVT performance. Anu ba yun mga kelangan iwasan when driving at high speed. Ako kasi kapag drive eh speedy at a safe manner naman.

    Maganda ang upgraded na interior ng lancer, 2006 model pa yun design ng car pero ok naman looks, maganda na din at decent ang looks

    Not sure if the CVT tranny of the Lancer is better but in the Jazz/City CVTs had a high failure/problem rate. Keeping a light foot and smooth acceleration seems to help in keeping the Honda CVT working properly. So I would suggest the same thing for your Lancer if possible.

    based on feedbacks, and if you are going to browse MLPH, wala namang bad reviews sa Lancer CVT compared to the Jazz/City's CVT.

    Hi Newbie here,

    I also just bought my Lancer GLS last month, Ok naman ang performance..ang kaso, may napansin akong condensation sa tail lights (left and right). It appears during night time pag bukas yung tail lights, dahil siguro mainit yung lamp. I tried to raise my concern sa dealer pero ikinunsulta daw nila sa factory at ang sabi e "NORMAL" daw yun??! That means lahat ng tail lights ng Lancer GLS e nagmo-moist?..

    Can you check your Lancer if the tail lights behaves the same way?

    Here's the photo:

    Hi,

    I noticed my EX fog lamps (the entire lamp, both sides) had condensation too when I got home last tuesday. No problems with the head and tail lamps though. Im thinking it must be the weather.

    Its not usual. It might be because the lamps were not sealed properly, hence may moisture inside.

    i've had my Lancer for a little over a year now, CVT transmission din, never had a problem with it with just regular daily driving. ilang beses ko na na-abuso tranny ko and up to now wala pang problema. ang for the tail lights that fogs up, kalokohan yan kung sabi ng dealer niyo na normal yan. check the tail lights, may seal yan na sira, baka loose lang ang seals mo pero definitely not normal. pinalitan niyo na ba bulbs ng tail lights niyo? baka maluwang lang ang seals..

    Di pa ako nakapagpalit ng bulbs, kakakuha ko lang nung unit, that same night napansin ko yung moisture..sana nga dun lang sa seals ng bulbs, pero tingin ko dun sa paligid na joints e..baka may crack somewhere..nate-temp na nga akong kalasin e, kaso baka ma-void yung warranty.

    sa una din nga sa amin ganyan nag fofog sa loob. normal nga.


    Tingin ko
    the lancer is the best choice sa price range niya.
    Mas ok palagay ko ito kaysa vios.
    Hindi lang masyado nabibigayan ng magandang rating.


    And i love the lancers dashboard.

    Hi newbie here..

    Been browsing the car manufacturer sites and currently on the lookout for a new ride na hopefully I can use when I go back there..Do I need to 'study' how to drive a cvt equipped car before purchasing a GLS? I've been driving sticks ever since and this is 'new' tech for me and well my siblings who will be primarily using the car.Hope to get this asap..Your feedbacks are greatly appreciated

    TIA

    you don't need to study how to drive a CVT lalo na galing ka manual.
    Just point and shoot!! hehe

    maninibago ka lang sa acceleration. nanibago ako nun nung first time ko.

    regarding price range of Lancer GLS, i would also choose the Lancer over the new Vios: IF RESALE VALUE IS NOT AN ISSUE.

    just my opinion.


    This thread I think proves that Mitsu's CVT is better than Honda's. I was actually worried about CVTs when i read the City thread.

    No cmmonet on the CVT
