The 'moo-ing' that people refer to is the sound of the revs being at a constant rpm during acceleration. That said, what I think Danny means is that the sound is a little more obvious on the up hills since the car will need to be at higher revs, therefore the sound is louder.

soo basically theres no stalling?? lol i never learnt manual drove it once
and it was a fail haha... how do you drive it in sports mode? and are they all standard in australia?

Driving in sports mode is just shifting the gear stick upwards into the appropriate gear and then shift down-ways for the lower gears ..And if you forget you are in sports mode " As I do sometimes :roll:

"As having the Auto as well it's easy to forget you are not in Auto " It dosn't matter too much as the CVT Will go down the gears for you as you slow down ..It's very easy to drive ...

I Believe it is standard in Australia ... Hope this makes sense for you :smile:

yup makes sense to me

one more thing... those paddle shifters? are they already installed in
the car or are they separate?

thanks for the info !!

No TenaciouS The Paddle shifters are a extra that people install after they purchase the car ..I believe they are easy to install and people have said they are fun to drive with .... :smile:

Welcome to the club!

Paddles are standard in the CVT VRX trim level.

Hello Shane :smile:

What do you mean in the " VRX Trim level ?

LZY_EYE · Postby **LZY_EYE** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 6:02 pm

Hey Doreen

ES, Activ, RX, SX and VR do not have paddles. VRX has the paddles

SST RA and EVO also have the paddles for that matter

OH Ok Cheers for that .. I learnt something there

I didn't know that ..I was going to suggest to TenaciouS To go for the VRX If it is possible for him as you get some good extras :smile:

TenaciouS · Postby **TenaciouS** » Tue Apr 26, 2011 8:08 pm

ohh sweet well ill try and go for the VRX then

is the VRX usually more expensive then the other version?

sorry for the 21 questions lol

The VRX is the 2nd highest model in the NA Lancers.

The price does vary quite a lot.

Also, if you are looking at a CVT, ask about the Aspire. It is a VRX without the wing, but gets HIDs and Leather interior. Might be worth considering depending on the price and what budget you have.

Thanks for the heads up for TenaciouS Shane :smile:

yeah ill look around and see what i can find
and my budget is around 20k? would that be alright for
the VRX or aspire?

cheers!

Second hand you might find a VRX but i dont think you will find an Aspire.

Remember the MY08 VRX only has a 2.0L engine too.
