2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Powertrain: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2013 | The big grille and wing spoiler promise thrilling performance. This isn't the 291-horsepower Evo or even the 237-horsepower Lancer Ralliart, though. With a 168-horsepower 2.4-liter engine, the Lancer GT isn't blazingly quick. But it's quicker than any other compact you can buy for the price, getting to 60 mph in about 7.5 seconds. The engine sounds a little raspy, but revs smoothly and energetically. The Dart GT's 184-horsepower 2.4-liter engine is stronger at high rpm, but the Lancer's powerplant is about equally torquey through the midrange and must wrestle with fewer pounds. Add it all up, and the Dodge isn't quite as quick. Its engine does sound better, though. Transmission differences are more likely to be a deciding factor. I tested the Dart GT with an automatic transmission. But the manual transmission in a Dart SXT Rallye driven last year was not pleasant, with long ropey shift throws and a clutch that engaged high off the floor. If the manual transmission in the Dart GT feels the same, it could be a deal-killer. The Lancer's manual transmission, with moderate throws and a somewhat vague feel, doesn't approach the ideal established by the Honda Civic Si's. But it's much closer than the Dart's, and wouldn't be a deal-killer in itself. Don't want a clutch? Then the Lancer GT's option is a CVT (continuously variable transmission). Many people don't like the slipping sensation when accelerating with a CVT, but this one can mimic a six-speed paddle-shifted automatic. For those who don't like a CVT and who don't want to fuss with the paddles, the Dart's conventional six-speed automatic will be preferable. see full Mitsubishi Lancer review |
