Just picked up my Lancer yesterday! I was so pumped to finally get it. I got the 2009 GTS, with Sun and Sound, and Canadian Winter Package. I used to drive a shitty CRX with sport suspension and I really like the suspension in the Lancer. It is not as tight as the CRX but not loose like many economy cars you will drive. The speed is not bad considering its all stock. And the room is a massive upgrade to my crx!!! HAHA

Here are some pics I took with of it in the rain today:

Haha and this is my old CRX and the NEW Lancer:

Welcome to the board then! Looks good except for the last photo. I think that CRX needs a new paint job!

Haha, you got that right. I am just giving the CRX to my brother and using the Lancer as my full time DD.

The mods I am planning on getting are:
-Tint on the back 3 windows
-Some nicer rims
-RRM SRI

Also before the snow hits I am getting some 16" steelies and some studded tires.

Well it wasn't raining today for the first time all week, however it was super muddy so I washed the car and then carefully and slowly drove it up onto of a mud covered hill to do a photo shoot :)
