Looking at a car advertised as an 8 speed transmission. I don’t know if this is a misprint or that exists?
If it exists is 6 or 8 speed better?
 
There are 8 speed gearboxes but if it's a CVT then it just just means that you can choose 8 different ratios rather than let it do it's own thing.
 
It’s for my wife, she wants it’s to be as auto as possible :) still wise to buy a 2016 lancer LS since they are discontinued?

Thanks
 
Go for the Lancer keep away from the tiny engine turbos.
If its a Lancer it aint 8 speed. CVT 5 speed to 2015 6 speed 2016 and 2017
no noticeable difference. A gimmick!? Well!! Have to keep up to the times
I suppose.

Had a few fancier and larger cars in the passed but love my lancer
My transport my toy.
 
I spoke to a Mitsubishi technician to re CVT he said if u want a good auto gearbox try and find a SST from a Ralliart at a wreckers as the CVT is pretty much just a rubber band gearbox with not much inside them
 
CVT! Keep it simple keep it sweet, smooth as silk no perceptible change points, less to go wrong. I like it!
With the 2ltr NA engine don't anticipate any problems and you can always play around with it in sport mode.
