As you put the available CVT transmission through its paces with the steering-wheel-mounted magnesium paddle-shifters, you can still put the call out to friends with the standard Bluetooth® hands-free cellular phone interface system. And since everyone will want to go for a ride, it's a good thing you'll be getting 27MPG†† highway. Get wherever you're going with an available factory-installed 40GB HDD navigation system with digital music server that stores up to 2,000 of your favorite songs. But even more impressive in the area of safety are the seven standard airbags** — that's more than any other car in its class. No wonder the Lancer was awarded Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).¹
Need more convincing? Well, the 2009 Lancer GTS with 2.4-liter MIVEC engine and CVT transmission starts at just $19,590 — making it a sporty and stylish sedan that's, above all, affordable.
