I have a 2009 CVT and notice that it slows down more quickly when I release the gas pedal compared to my previous car. I just assume it's because of the CVT engine...hope I'm right. I don't think it's an issue.

Loading music on the 30GB HDD by shivarajv

- I had a question about loading music onto the 30GB HDD that comes with the sun&sound. Is is possible to copy music directly from an MP3 player or is it limited only to CDs and DVDs
- Also is the sound system capable of playing Mp3 songs from a DVD

Hi there shivarajv.
Copy music directly from MP3 player: not possible. Only from CD/DVDs. But you must prepare the media (CD/DVD) in a certain way I haven't out yet. I mean, I don't know yet if the MP3s must be placed in the root of the media or in a folder, and if the media must be formatted in a specific way. If you have a home DVD/CD player that says it plays MP3 from a media, you may find this out yourself (and let me know... .
There is a misconception in regards to the 30GB HDD: you don’t have 30GB available. Remember that all the GPS’ maps, POIs, Contacts, Waypoints, etc. are also stored in the HDD. Effectively, you have only about 6GB available for music.
Yep, when I found this out I also felt cheated…
Still, I have already about 60 CDs in it.

Hi there Knut.
 
Regarding the clicking noise while on open windows, is it inside the car or outside? The dealer's air passing is BS... Noises due to airflow change on different speeds, your first clue, and normally those noises are hums or hisses, never heard wind-clicks...
If the noise is inside, take someone along for a drive (a kid or a small person). When the noise start, have her/him literary crawling around the car to find the source. If outside, that person can still go from window to window (except of course yours) as well hearing for the source, or at least the source area. Once you find the source, you can find a cure.
 
About the speed drop: there the dealer said the truth. I don't know the specific details of a CVT gearbox, but I did notice that it is more "attached" to the car, than a traditional auto-gearbox.
Let me explain: conventional automatic gearboxes have the typical bicycle effect; on a downhill you don't need work the pedals and the speed even increases. The CVT in this particular behavior, is a little closer to Manual transmission. On a M/T you take the foot off the gas, and the car will slow down, it won't coast like A/T.
That's what I mean with attached, you get a little more response with a CVT, compared to an conventional A/T.
I didn't like Mitsubishi's CVT, bought my Lancer M/T and didn't regret it. Audi's CVT is great, but we are not talking about them here.
 
Good luck.

Just a stupid question. Can anyone explain why there is a power socket in the armrest.
Is It there for charging or using anything in particular ?

Traction/Stability control by shivarajv

I recently saw on edmunds.com that among the trims available, there are 2 listing for the 2009 Lancer GTS
- GTS
- GTS N/A 07/08
 
http://www.edmunds.com/mitsubishi/lancer/2009/index.html
When you compare both these models on edmunds, you find that in addition to the usual stuff the former has optional traction/stability control (exactly wat the edmunds review says the Lancer's lacks !). Is this a newer version/release ?
Has anyone been able to lay their hands on one and if yes, do you find any difference.
Pls comment

That socket is unswitched, meaning you can leave your cellphone charging, even when the car is off. So yes, it's for chargning...

Hi again Shivaraj.
 
Haven't tried the 07 or 08 models. One big difference to the 09 is engine size (upgraded from 2.0 to 2.4).
 
Regards,
Kai
