it is an okay car but I don't like that electric dual clutch system, I still like to work a clutch pedal and a shifter, the shift paddles seem to be for lazy people who can't work a clutch. Other than that it is a nice looking car but I would still prefer an american truck.
This car is a great addition to anyone's garage. This car is priced nicely and performs well. Sure, the Evolution is better, but if you don't want to spend the money, this car is just as good. All it needs is a few aftermarket parts. Give or take, $8,000 worth of parts and you could beat an EVO or WRX.
Yeah I've just recently test driven both the RA and WRX Limited.. WRX seems to have a (tiny) bit more go off the line and upper RPMs, but the RA is just a blast to drive.
The no-stick manual threw me off at first, but it's BEAUTIFULLY done. In actual fact, I prefer the RA's twin SST now... precise and practically immediate shifts. Plus, I mean... "Manu-matic"? I mean really, what more would you want from a powertrain?
I hope the rumor is true about the 5 Speed version and hopefully they improve the mpg and the engines quickness for the next year's model from the reviews the speed doesn't live up to it's handeling although the handeling is great.
Boring video, but it's actually a decent car. The premium edition is a little pricey, but the seats, sat nav and sound system are a nice combination. Better interior than a GSR anyway. Bit slow off the line, but pulls nicely once the turbo spools. The automated manual is neat in that it doesn't sap the power like a traditional slush box, but I'd still have preferred a true manual. Hopefully it'll come with one in later years.
DSM guys have been waiting for a car like this since 1999 and now they make one...but with only automatic??? That's like going to order the perfect New York Strip Steak because you can't afford the Filet Mignon and then the waiter tells you that the NY Strip is only available with Ketchup and that A1 is only available with the Filet Mignon. I don't care if the ketchup is the best ever and makes me orgasm...I WANT THE A1!! PLEASE MITSU GIVE ME A MANUAL OR I WILL SURELY BUY A SUBARU!!!
As i said in another vid of the ralliart, THIS CAR SUCKS i love mitsu evos are the best but since this new body im not so sure. Every1 know mitsu and subaru ar rivals and a evo fan would never buy a sto or wrx, But i gotta say i will be buying the 09 wrx impreza bigger turbo more hp and personally i like the desighn. mitusbishi need to realize its allmost 09 tune the evos to be faster and bring the ralliart up to allmost evos power atleast 260 hp. my 07 3.5 altima has 270hp soo yeah disapoted
They finally come out with a car affordable as the wrx and subaru screws them over cause the 2009 wrx has 265 hp and a bigger turbo. Ill stick with subaru.
artisan performance is really making some great stuff for the evo x. It will only be a couple of weeks before they make some Ralliart stuff. Their exhaust kit and downpipe can add 30 hp by itself!. Give the ralliart a chip, exhaust, New turbo piping and a good tune and Im sure This thing will be able to keep up with the big dog evo x . No doubt about it. I cant wait to get a wicked white Ralliart! Watch out evo's Ill be on your six in no time!
I just saw this car and its nice, better looking than the 08 wrx, but not as badass looking as the 07 wrx, but its quick, needs some work done..mits went alil to soft on the extir, and they need to work on the price not worth the 27 grand.
I've seen a lot already, especially in the LA area. I think there is a company there that specializes in this. Some even told me that they showed the GTS Turbo to the Mitsubishi engineers and they loved it.
@ChummyChime Umm no, it won't turn like an EVO. Hell it won't turn like a ralliart. A lot of the EVO's performace is on how it turns. Performace isn't about just going in a straight lin unless your a drag racer and that is all you do with the car.
The name Ralliart was around way before the Lancer Evolution. Was really in international rally with the Galant VR4

@rctrucknut yea, but this ones a bit different,
very close to f1/Indy shifting, you can actually hold the rev's, before choosing to switch gears.
am getting one soon, for fun, wont be licenced., entering cheap rallys.
Butt, I wanna find one cheap, miles or a lil body damage are no issue.
Peace out yo, long story short.

Why are people getting rid of their vehicles sooner than they have at any time in my life?

Because dealers make it easy to trade-in for something else/newer.
A very material culture we have, and people always want something else.
