Transmission choices are a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic. The automatic features driver-adaptive technology, an unusual feature in this class that tailors shift points according to the driver. Fuel... |

They gripped strongly for the Lancer but produced noticeable road noise. Most disconcerting to me was the vague response from the Lancer's power-assisted, rack-and-pinion steering. Some recent Mazda Proteges I've driven had crisper steering response than this, and the ride overall in the Lancer was less refined than that of a new-model Honda Civic... |
