So I have "heard" that the new AWD Lancer is only going to be available with a CVT transmission and paired with ONLY the 2.0 4B11 motor in the USA. Any confirmation on this? Also "heard" it will be using the RVR Outlander Sport's AWD system so S-AWC would be out of the question. Again does anybody have any specs on the new car and if so could you help me out with some info.

Thanks

It seems the SE will have the 4B12 but will only be paired with the CVT

 

I can tell you that S-AWC is amazing (this from a previous WRX owner)

but even the Outlander Sport's system 4wd is legit. It handles the snow just fine!

 

I traded my 09 Lancer 5spd manual for a brand new 2012 Lancer SE.

It only comes with a CVT, AWC (2WD/4WD Auto/4WD Lock)

For now at least. I like it though, it has butt warmers. lol.

 

I was ready to buy this car until i saw this model only came in the auto. Gay.

 

Now that the AWC lancer has been out for a while, what are people's opinions of the AWC in the snow? How does it split the power from front to rear?

I've been a long time subaru owner, and my ex has a '10 Lancer GTS with sun & sound package, and for a DD its a nice car. I'm growing weary of my harsh, rattling Subaru. Granted its ***** of fun, but now that my MR2 is almost complete, I have been looking at a more comfortable ride with nicer interior, lower miles, and better MPG. Being in upstate NY, I love the AWD + snow tires, because I never feel like I have to stay put because of the weather. Also I would prefer a real AWD and not a FWD car that sends power to the rears when needed. I like the handling dynamics better. I was thinking that an AWC lancer + mild lowering springs and sways can keep some of the fun of my WRX and give me the refinement I am looking for. {Coming from an 02 WRX, 260WHP/WTQ, 6-speed, no DCCD so 60% power to the rear wheels}

the other car I am considering is an B8 A4.

 

i just bought a 2012 SE. kinda miss the manual but actually the CVT is kinda cool. never stop pulling. feels like my snowmobile it will work till i can afford an evo

 

the SE is a 2.4L not a 2.0L it actually is faster then i expected. first mitsubishi i have owned. very satisfied. lots of bang for the buck

 

i had a choice, between the AWD SE for 3k less than the GTS model, although the gts model had a cool body kit, which i will be changing the body kit on me SE to an evo body kit for about 1200, although the se is auto i like the optional awd, because i live in new england, i would have really liked the manual transmission but that wasn't an option unfortunately
