So, almost halfway into 09 have you had any real problems with your lancer?

ive been kinda surprised on how little to no problems ive had with my car. and i havent heard too many stories on these or other forums about major problems..ive heard some about MT cars having to do with the clutch but barely anything about the CVT. the only problem ive had was the jerking after not letting the car warm up and the car not starting thing which i think a lot of people had..but its never not started to where i had to get it towed..

so what problems if any has everyone else had?

09 GTS m/t 10K miles about to get the 3rd oil change... no real problems so far. Something is loose in the window causing some rattling when window is down, but I'm sure that has to do with the TSB (some loose bolts or something). No complaints here!

Oh yeah... I've had it for 5 months

09 GTS M/T - 6 months and I am having problems with the clutch =/...
It sometimes doesn't like to go into 2nd and sometimes I have to let her roll a few inch's before she'll let me go into reverse...

Other than that she has been very sweet to me

It's in West Regional section, should be one of the top threads. Mostly just a lot of BS like the other big threads (LV Evos, etc etc) but still.

And on topic: That's nice to hear the new Lancers are having no problems. Odd that the Xs have had so many (well, not a ton, but still).
