it makes do with a pretty average engine. We give it credit for the CVT and its electric power-steering unit.
a GTS with a manual transmission accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds, which is quick for this class
Everything here feels right--the tight-handling chassis, right-weighted steering, slick clutch and shifter, zippy engine and plenty of brake power.
the standard five-speed manual's shifter has good feel and weight, and clutch takeup is natural, so it's quite entertaining to run up and down the gears.
At wide-open throttle, the engine throbs without pause, sending the car forward in a seemingly unyielding accelerative rush.

Motor Trend
While DE and ES models are strictly cheap wheels—and they handle reasonably well though not with much verve—the GTS has slightly higher aspirations. It gets larger wheels, a firmer suspension, and upgraded braking to put the driving experience pretty much on par with the turbocharged Ralliart—minus the extra power, of course. The result is a car that's considerably more entertaining to drive. Unfortunately, it also results in more road noise and a somewhat stiff, jiggly ride.
Conclusion
Especially in GTS guise, the 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer feels sportier than most other inexpensive small sedans.
