From AMC to ClubCJ..

Postby T-Bone75 » Wed Dec 05, 2012 7:49 pm

Hi all,
Well I'm a member of the Aussie Magna Club forum because I'd owned a TJ Sports Magna for 10 years until recently. I'd done quite a bit of work to it so I was sad to see it go but the Mrs wanted a new, more economical car. So we're the proud owners of a 2013 LX and I figured I'd best check out what existed in the way of forums for Lancers.. and here I am. (Nice job, BTW).
So far loving the car although not sold on the CVT transmission.. what's the general consensus on them?

Cheers,
Travis.

I love my CVT. Great economy and easy to drive.

Use the paddles around the hills and it is a different car. So much fun!

You just have to be careful around cows as it has been known to attract them. (mooo)

I had a TJ Magna prior to my CJ aswell, such a good looking car- a lot of potential. Welcome to the club, mate!

Welcome to Club CJ Travis!

Personally I drive a manual Lancer and I love it, haven't driven a CVT Lancer as yet, but I just prefer changing gears myself and have never even looked at buying a automatic car!

I have always had more fun buying a manual car over an automatic car, however this is based on personal opinions as some people will tell you they prefer the CVT transmission over the manual!
