Got my 2012 Lancer
 

I picked up a 2012 Lancer SE AWC and so far I am really enjoying it.

A little sad they didn't offer this car with M/T but I have liked this Lancer for a long time. I test drove the Impreza and this car and was much much happier with the Mitsu. Also I live in the pacific northwest and I go to the mountains a lot, so having the AWC was paramount to me.

I hear there won't be a turbo option for me... :(

Nice car! Looks all new shiny! I agree with you on the lack of Manual. It disapoints me a little.

And what do you mean by "no turbo option for you?" I would figure that since the same engine is used in the SE as either the DE/ES or the GTS (forget which), that a turbo would be just as possible on the SE as the previous lancers. ( I could be naive and mistaken, though)

I have read on a few different forums that nothing is going to be in production from aftermarket retailers for a while. Not sure about the reasoning behind it, just a rumor.

Congratulations :)

Can you give us a trunk shot?

yeah is the trunk as big as the gts and lower models?? and i think the rrm turbo kit should or could work on the car with some little mods here and there. nice car man congrats.

Congrats on the purchases. Does your car have tarmac/gravel/snow settings?

Congrats

I will get some pics up as soon as I can.

I don't have specific tarmac / snow settings, but I can turn off traction control, which is fun. Also the AWC has a switch in the center console to turn from 2WD / 4WD / 4x4 High.

I'm about 12 miles in right now, past the first oil change and tire rotation, and I still love this thing. I do really wish it were a bit faster, so I'll probably start saving for the 100,000 mile mark so I can make it a bit more fun.

It does have gravel snow switches... the 2wd; 4wd; 4wd lock mode os those features together.... its my car also and I love it!{thumbup}
