Alright guys keep this on topic. This thread for anyone interested in finding out more info on the GTS that they haven't seen already. If you just got a GTS, congratulations on the purchase, but please start another thread if you want to show it off.

Thanks

Where in California do you live?
In the greater Los Angeles area I am having a hard time finding a loaded GTS with packages 2 and 3.

Does anyone in the area know of a dealer who has one?

That's funny, I was at the dealership here in FL today and saw the new lancer GTS...It's okay I really don't like then new styling it's wierd, probably have to let it soak in as new cars are getting wierd looking.

However I really love the Galant Ralliart, that car is nice, especially the interior, I think i would have bought that car instead of an evo if was 4wd or rwd.

I test drove the CVT wright before i bought my stick, paddle shifters are cool BUT that trany is so frickn weird when u go from 1st to like 4-5 gear the tach never drops rpm it stays solid threwout the shifts and its hard to get a feel for the car.But i did find out that there is no throtle cable it all electronic and there is o ton of room under that hood good for mods hehe

I think that is the point of the CVT. No shift shock of an extreme RPM drop.

I made a note of it. Also to let everyone know the car is fully loaded with nav, etc, so anything you want to know about that, please let me know.
