  • 9 seconds by my estimate. I just sold this car for a Ralliart. I miss the fuel economy and my sunroof. I do not miss the 0-60 time though.

  • this is not a cvt transmission, i can see the drops in engine revs while shifting, if this was a cvt there would be not drop in revs

  • @sugarqfxxx There are drops if you're in sport mode. That's prettymuch the whole point of sport mode. It simulates driving a manual transmission, except that the "gears" are just preset ratios, rather than actual physical gears.

  • @sugarqfxxx look at some other cvt lancer videos. the revs do drop by a small amount (1000 or so)....i have the manual and it would drop by alot more than that ^^^

  • lol noob shifting

  • O.o its a joke??

  • @AlexSobol whats the name of the song? xDD

  • what does this car have done to it? it just did 0-60 in like 4.5 seconds

  • @urinesurfer friend, thats km/h, not mph.... if u see the speedometer it says km/h

  • @LordKevin92 yea see it now my bad.

  • in another video i saw a guy accelerating this same car with cvt from 0-100 km/h in 7 secs.... so for those that say CVT is slow.... suck my D*ck :) this car has the potencial to be fast enough with its CVT so stop hating on new stuff and move on.. oh and btw manual is dinosaur technology :) and those who reply negatively to my comment will flag as spam :D

  • Holy Shit 1st. with 70kmh!

  • lancer ex gts is a cruiser not a sprinter. very stable at higher speeds compared with other 2.0l cars. affordable price range and solid body.

  • 9 sec.

  • is there any difference when its on Drive mode and sport shift mode?

  • 10s slow la...golf 1.4tsi 8 sec bro...

  • So, is this an actual CVT, or something else? I (among others) can clearly hear the gear steps.

  • how many HP hear?

  • i love this car

  • So, it is a CVT that "shifts" so it sounds like it is an automatic? Wouldn't that hurt performance compared to a conventional CVT that just holds the engine at peak power?

  • @BikerTrashWolf Of course it hurts performace, but ricers think that if it doesn't make the so called "normal" sound then it's slower. Just watch when someone with a proper CVT blows by with the engine held at peak power 100% of the time and a turbo providing full boost with NO turbo lag

  • 10 seconds, well...

  • wow, hardly 9.5 ish seconds. Coming from a Mivec 2.4lt engine, thats kinda slow. i guess the CVT didnt help much as well. I have an 03 2lt manual, that will beat that by over a second. But on the other side, a manual of this car would be much faster "i guess"

  • okay so one guy who actually races and three dozen tiny penis poser fag wannabe arm chair track stars think YOU GOTTA GET IT IN MANUAL. Anyways, for the rest of us who deal more with rush hour traffic than the race track and mom's basement, is the CVT on it really all that bad? Or do you GOTTA GET IT IN MANUAL

  • i like your background music. it gives me the James Bond feeling. hahah wtf

  • que cochinero de carro jala mas mi honda accord 91 jajaja y sin ponerle el sport!!!!

  • wow really disappointing

  • waste of money buy a mark x 0-60 mph 6.3 sec

  • @shafafbmw you mean buy a big fucking ugly ass boat? Are you kidding me? A lincoln mark x???

  • The CVT Lancer doesn't have a sport mode. Only the Ralliart and the Evos do.

    Also, the paddles on the CVT are useless. You shift up one gear and it only drops like 800 RPM.

  • Sport mode means manual mode, using shifters

  • r u kidding me?

  • @yakovgolyadkin what do you expect from a CVT? lol it only has 1 gear for god's sake.

  • 154hp?????

  • @theforte 295

  • are you serious about that song?

  • if you dont understand how an automatic CANT launch better then a manual transmission, then you dont know how to drive a stick and dont understand whats the roll of the clutch in keeping the engine in its optimal power band through the launch and the acceleration, this shouldnt even be arguable, manual is faster then a cvt to 100, piriod. thought that was common knowledge.

    If you really like cars then you have something wonderful to discover, to actually drive one not just steer it

  • its clear your not very well informed and dont really know & understand the cvt in the lancer and the actual diference with the manual. I also understand you dont know who i am, so i tried to get a second opinion for you, of someone that might be easier for you to believe, this is Road&Track on the lancer gts with cvt:

    "Left in full automatic mode, the car feels sluggish, your better off changing gears manually, by paddles or opting for the manual 5-speed"

  • its just the problem with a new technology

    when a new tech comes out its gotta be shitty comparing to the traditional ones, but after a while it's gonna be the shit

  • nice backround music :D

  • what part of a cvt has anything to do with sport? thats for ladies that like to pretend

  • CVT's remain in the optimal powerband, all the time.

    They let a car accelerate faster than a manual.

  • in theory it should be, i can even imagine some day their going to come out with a cvt worthy of a real sports car, but the reality is that today a cvt has nothing to do with sportiness and it offers nothing in that department nor any improvement in performance what so ever, its not even focused in that direction, its intended for comfort and ease.

    The "sport mode" is completely ridiculous, simulating shifts in a cvt is oxymoronic, it renders the whole concept of a cvt useless. doesnt work.

  • Even economy CVT's on non-performance orientated cars allow a car to accelerate fast than an equivalent manual.

    It has a "sporting" aspect as it increases performance.

  • do you really think a cvt accelerates faster from 0 -100kph (0-60mph)? your joking right?...

    Im sorry to burst your bubble but your ridiculously wrong. it doesnt increase performance, its simply not intended for that, this cvt's purpose is to be comfortable and easy to use.

    and if you understand how a cvt works youll find the fact that it "simulates" gears shifts completely ridiculous, idiotic and absolutely contradictory to any advantage or positive thing a cvt transmission has.

  • Which lets a car accelerate faster: a 6 speed or a 2 speed manual?

    The 6 speed, of course, because you'd be making much better use of the engines available power.

    Guess what? CVT = infinite gears, no shift time

    For all your posturing, you really don't seem to know much about CVT's

  • your right about the theory of cvt, and it could be great, but the reality is that today it isnt, the actual cvt in the lancer is merely for commodity and does nothing for performance, if your trying to improve performance the last thing you want to do is choose the current cvt, yet if on the contrary your looking for a comfortable commute and are wiling to sacrifice performance and driving involvement then the cvt is right for you. remember im talking about the current cvt, not the theory

  • You should read up about the williams fw15 and the CVT they were planning to use in it

  • hahaha, i know about the williams, it must have been awesome! no doubt about that. but other then the concept it has nothing to do with the cvt on a lancer, and has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that the lancer cvt is full seconds slower to 100 then its manual counterpart, its like thinking a 2.0 GTS is faster to 100kmh then an 2.0 ES arguing that it has a rear spoiler like an f1 car, its just childish.

    try googleing "0 to 60 lancer gts cvt and manual" see what u can find.

    im out...

  • You are being extraordinarily rude. You said that CVT's have nothing to do with performance - I just gave you an example that completely refutes this (CVT in an F1 vehicle) and you say that it has "nothing to do" with the CVT in a lancer?

    I never said anything that implied the lancer CVT or 'shifting' in CVT's was performance orientated, stop being a goddamn numbskull and recognise that I'm defending the concept and not this specific example of a CVT.

  • I stated more then once that i wasnt referring to the theory, which i said i thought one day could be great, but to the current cvt's like the one on this video, which has absolutely nothing to do with the one on the williams

    And you never said anything that implied the lancer CVT was performance orientated?? your words "Even economy CVT's on non-performance orientated cars allow a car to accelerate fast than an equivalent manual. It has a "sporting" aspect as it increases performance"

  • Im sorry if i was rude, im also sorry you got sold on a cvt thinking it had anything to do with sportiness or performance, and im sorry your missing out on the best part of automobiles, the whole experience of driving one

  • Oh, and let me make it clear that I'm not supporting 'shifting' in CVT's, which I believe to be utterly inane and pointless - although your attitude makes me loathe to agree with you.

  • Oh, and did you know thats the same transmission used in scooters? cvt's are to cars what scooters are to bikes, easy to use, but not sporty

  • Sport mode = Go slower and pretend you have a manual. Auto mode for a CVT Lancer is faster than Sport mode can ever be.

  • it's funny how ppl can always criticize and leave negative comments.. come on people. videos are posted here for pleasure... if you don't like it, move on.. don't hate. thank the people who posts videos.. as for manual and automatic debate.. manuals are quicker...true.. but how many people can actually shift at the correct timing everyt single time?? hehe..:P people have different tastes and preferences... some like to drive by stick, some manual. :P peace!

  • stick and manual are the same...

  • @timexix Stick is another word for manual transmission. Lol, fail.

  • @DaNeShady90 TRUE !!! he failed !!!!

  • @timexix yeah but cvt tranmission, rather auto or manual shift is a terrible idea! it takes the fun out of vehicles

  • @drummingbomb cvt is pure performance. its quicker anywhere between .3 to a 1.5 seconds depending on the manual competition. humans cannot beat machine when it comes to shifting. i have a mk4 manual and evo mr. I use both trannys daily.

  • u disgrace the lancer brand..in short u suck

  • too slow...I can make 7.5 with my manual transmision 2008 Lancer

  • I'm with the other guy, fast, but I hate CVT's. Sounds way too much like a slipping clutch for my tastes.

  • gear up hold throttle!

  • Comment removed

  • M/T Lancer's faster AFAIK.

  • if use paddle shift, want to gear up hold throttle or lost throttle gear up ??? please ask me question,

  • 8,9 secs. Good time but i dont like CVT transmition

  • whhhhat 8.9

    starts a :16 ends at :26

  • use a cronometer and push start when the speedometer begin to move, not when the tachometer does. This lancer do 8.9 0-100, take the time again

  • 17.2 -26.2

    its not that bad

    yeah its suppose to be able to do it in 8.9 BUT

    only in ideal conditions

    EXAMPLE- Ideal Humidity, Road surface, Tire Pressure, Weight of individual driving, wind, altitude, outside temp, everything plays a roll.

  • Me too

  • weak

  • its funny i waited 4 months saved up some money and i got 18k in the bank right now and i got a dealer who can sell me a ralliart for 22.7k brand fucking new. pays off to be patient, talk to dealerships around you and most of all DO YOUR RESEARCH, go test drive some and see what your really after.

  • Ziemlich lahm!

  • that sucks

  • Que horrible sonido, prefiero mi Audi con dsg

  • Fail. It probably would be faster if you got a tuner for the cpu. then your shifts would be more spaced out.

  • slow :)

  • the gts is front wheel drive right?

  • Author - you are the man! Try to test it in automatic mode and upload on youtube. And dont forget that your CVT is adaptive and remembers your manner of driving.

  • Lancer 10 CVT the BEST.

    А те кто против - идите нахуй!!!))))

    Сам не проверял - еще обкатываю, но по логике быстрее он должен разгоняться именно в автоматическом режиме (Макс мощность при 4500об/мин. держиться постоянно, а при переключениях - плавает)

  • LOL the song is so...epic...

  • wow the lancer is steppin it up. and i believe the new evo's have taken a couple steps down... )=

  • thats a pathetic 0-100km run

  • nearly 80km in first, very nice. im getting the manual one so im hoping it will be the same

  • sport mode my ass... learn to drive a real manual

  • What song is this??

  • 9 seconds.

    4 cyl. 152hp

    THAT IS AWESOME

    Lancer my next car.

  • LOL 9 seconds isn´t very fast for a 152Hp car.

    Cinquecento NOVITECH ... 0-100 in 7 seconds with just an 1.1L-100Hp-engine LOL !

  • bad comparison that car weighs less than you !

  • LOL man I was just joking ... a cinquecento isn´t a real car but ... a novitech 1.1L can run 7 seconds from 0-100 km/h for real ! LOL

  • u buy lancer ? 2.0 yea ? 152 hp

  • no, its 2.4L

  • djresvon said 152hp

  • its actually not bad for a bone stock small car

  • 1.8 or 2.4?

  • Comment removed

  • What song is this?

    How/why are both blinkers on?

  • Hazard lights...

    It's in km/h by the way too... 0-60 mph in like 8 seconds.

  • LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!!!!

    Thats the first time i see anyone asking that question !! LOL ! omg that made my day =D

  • well do you know that song or no?

  • 0-60 from 17sec to 21sec = ~4 sec

    0-100 from 17sec to 25sec = ~8 sec

    I want this car so bad!

  • my minivan can do 0-100 in ~8seconds

  • as the song is called

  • as the song is called

  • damn that thing is slow

  • Thats' CVT for you.

  • 0-62mph in 12 secs.. ~impressive~. i can beat that in my SUV!

  • what was the point of that...?

  • I want a new lancer, but i cant handle how slow it is.... lol if i got 1 it would deff be the manual trans, and i would put about 10 gs in performance alone. lol

  • LOLOL!!! thats so slow and cute.

  • lol those simulated ratios were funny

  • i did 8.7 in my lancer

  • my 08 focus does 8.1 lolll

  • 9.5 secs ish.

  • love that gearbox:D

  • It's CVT gearbox in Sport Mode ( Fix ratio gears). 6 speeds and it's Lancer GTS.

  • It's CVT gearbox in Sport Mode ( Fix ratio gears) ^ speeds.

  • I have a 2008 Lancer GTS with the CVT. In sport mode you manually shift gears 1,2,3,4,5,6. In "D" it does the continuous variable changing like you mentioned in your statement.

  • @rayschiro @davidpaulin So you say it simulates gears, like, virtual gears, cause it doesn`t have actual ones :)

  • those transmissions are electronically controlled .. you can make them act as you want ..

  • around 9 seconds, thats good enough to beat my friends in a corolla :)

  • nar couldnt live with have no sound of gears changing deff not as fast as my xr6 turbo

  • cool indicators, sound similar to that on a vauxhall vectra

  • I love CVT, cos they're quick and fuel efficient

    But autos are still better, when you accelerate you want to hear the engine change,in a CVT you know its changing but you don't get the same feeling. Think Autos are better unless you have a nissan, Nissan CVT kicks arse

  • I do reckon that this is a Evo. Not a GTS.

  • I reckon you're an idiot.

  • haha... i second that!

  • Comment removed

  • What would get to 60 mph quicker, CVT or Auto? I don't know why, I feel once CVT's hit 100mph they accelerate VERY slowly.

  • either way, it's still slower than a manual. so who gives a shit really? the cvt should never have been put in the lancer. it's f'n gay. belive me, i owned one for a short time before i got rid of it and bought an RX-8 w/ 6-sp. :)

  • If the CVT can handle the torque, it will almost always be faster than a manual.

  • that good CVT banned from F1 cos it's too fast always keep the optimal RPM.

  • I really hate the CVT in the Lancer. I hate CVT regardless.

    I do like the little bop-bop-bop sound the hazards make though...

  • sorry to say with a bunch of high end companies like Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati as well as Lexus, BMW, Audi, Nissan and Mitsubishi buying out of stickshift, CVT is the future for faster cars. Soon most fast class cars of the companies mentioned will have CVT or Sportshift (Tiptronic, Automanuel) because computers can shift faster than any human, thats why race cars have them now

  • Manuals with Auto-clutches(PDK, SMG, DSG, SST, etc) I like.

    I'll be honest, CVT probably isn't terrible for what it is, but if I want to go fast, I don't want to hear the engine droning at 6k RPM all day.

  • the droning did get very annoying especially when i added CAI & ABE.

  • how is it shifting ! i didnt understand ?!

  • you can put cvt's into a "sport shift", and it makes the transmission rev down further so it simulates a regular auto gearbox. Normal cvt mode just holds it at top revs.

  • its really slow ?!

    seriously ... i reach that speed in much less time with my JDM Honda civic .

  • Civic's are for pussys!!!!

  • When does changes of shift!!!???

  • My friend got one but i'm planing to buy one.

    My friend could do to 60km/h in 8.8sec. My Civic Si could do it under 8sec

  • i bought a racing chip for my gts ($15) and it now has 222hp compared to 152hp stock and it does 0 to 60 in 6.8sec.

  • wat do u mean racing chip???

  • get it at ebay, i thought it was bullshit but it added 65hp, increased torque and improved mpg somewhat (altought not as much as they claim), it's still the best and cheapest upgrade for any non-turbo car.

  • And by the way, I'm kinda sarcastic. The IAT Sensor on the Lancer 08 is also combined with the MAF on the connection port. How did you even put the chip there? And if so, what color wires did you place it on? Yea, that's what I thought.

  • 15 dol racing chip :))))))))

    Bought on ebay ,maybe ;)..chip CANT add more than + 20 HP...

  • yes it can on some cars and for me it worked :)) another cheap mod is a turbo which cost $150+ installation and can give the lancer about 300 or more horsepower but it'll also hurt your mpg.

  • Damn man... you got ripped off.. I bought mine for 50 bucks on ebay... put it together with my speed chip off ebay.. for less than 100 bucks I got my RA to 450HP....

    (if you believe this tard, you might as well believe what I just wrote)

  • Shit dude I wish turbo's were that cheap. And a 300+ horsepower '05 RA would be redonkeylous.

  • well i know they're not that cheap (ALTOUGH I FOUND MINES AT THat price) but they'll cost no about 700

  • No man, I didn't buy one -_-; I guess I'm no good at showing sarcasm for this stuff. Anyways, the thing is really BS, if it was real, then everyone in the tuning world would be doing it, but I don't know any tuner that does this. Reflash or piggyback the ecu, that's about it.

  • I got the same chip, though, it's really not a chip but a transistor. Anyways, if what you say is true then, I'll be one happy 08 Lancer Owner =D

  • you are too badd

  • ha ha ha ha Mazda 6 suck one time i was driving my 08 Lancer and with out me knowing i when 180ks

  • lol did u crash?

  • hahaha, MORON

  • FUCK YOU BITCHES

  • my hyunday does 0-60mph or 0-100km h in low 7s

  • Mitsubishi claims that the CVT takes 10.5 seconds from 0-100, but that only took 9 seconds. Im confused. Oh well, my GTS arrives in a few days so I will find out soon enough.

  • according to the dealer and motortrend the lancer does 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds. depends on what mode it's in (sport or drive) and how well the driver knows the car. cuz if it's in drive mode when it redlines it stays redlined and you end up getting more torque and more power to the wheels. you just don't step in a floor it.

  • People talking about their old cars... yes and Im sure the Lancer could do the 100 in 7s if it was an unsafe piece of junk. Unfortunately with features such as airbags, ESP hell even basic things these other cars no doubt didnt have like cruise control and air conditioning... comes added weight, which is the enemy of acceleration. So given that it still does it briskly with all its features, I know with car Id want to be sitting in!!

  • lol my corolla(1.8, 05) goz 0-100km in 9 sec

  • I do 0-100 in 9 sec. with my ford focus zx3 stock :P lol

  • wow it runs a 9 second 0-60.

    My 1997 Galant ES 4 cylinder automatic does that in 7.5 seconds. And its worth about 1,000 dollars bluebook. Don't worry, in ten years that car will be worth less.

  • he didnt really.."step on it

  • I like the 7g as much as the next guy, but have you seen the way those things fall apart when you crash?

    Lancer dont do that...Safety+weight=slightly slower

  • it seems that the valve lift does not come in early enough. it should hit around 3500 rpm's not 4000. i'll pull 90 mph in 3rd gear easy and he goes to 4 gear after 62 mph (100 kmp which ever you prefer) don't go whit cvt....you can't even pop not clutch.

  • how many second o-100km??

  • cool! how many seconds did that take to reach 100km/h? is this really the new lancer cvt?

  • It takes 9 seconds from 0 to 100kmh.  And yes this is the new lancer cvt transmition with optional sport mode.
