2009 Mitsubishi Ralliart Launch

[bwanner94]

control it like a manual with the tapshift not paddles. i prefer tap over the paddles in my ra

[cobraman897]

your a dumb ass if the paddle went with the wheel you get them on the other side or the bottom of the wheel and even might mix them up there is a reason why they are fixed. plus your hands arent staying on one part of the wheel you move them constantly. you sir are DUMB

[ColdNapalm42]

Buahaha...I knew these guys were morons from the STI vs RA comparo, but complaining about proper paddle shift design?!? WTF...seriously moronic.

[spriteremix02]

this guy is always hating on the ralliart, and hes always talking about the wrx. and what happens when your wheel is upside down and you need to change gears? you will always know where they are; if they were on the wheel you would be complaning about that.

[kurpleseven]

this tester so BS, can you imagine you have to take your right hand off the steering to shift and the SST paddles is long enough to cover the % of 1-5 and 7-11 oclock, I recommend he test at less one week before having a comment about the SST. The only thing I can recommend to Mitsubishi is stop using brakes and tires same as the low end model trying to cut cost.

[deadlyapollo]

Doesn't compliment your style? YOUR STYLE IS ALL WRONG!!!!

[kiasoul10]

Hate the new paddle trannies!!!!!!!!!!!! Even bmw is going this route BOOOOOOOO. Wouldnt buy any car like that auto paddles lol.

[GfukinMills]

currently have wrx hatch, have been test driving all sorts of ralliarts( stock to heavily modded) and can't wait to get one. over rexs, bring on ralliarts. SST GEARBOX IS THE BOMB quick as

[kitikitiboy]

dude do you know what are you talking about??? SST is awesome...its shifts faster than a manual transmission.... where did you got that facts?? i own a Ralliart and i love it..its lightning quick when it shifts...i always bring my car to willow spring and it corners fast.. i will upgrade the clutch packs for more power and torque.......i will choose TC-SST all day over a gay DSG of VW

[jflexe99]

Bitch about paddle shifters, even though most manufacturers like Lambo, Ferrari, ect make them attached to the column. Like said before, obviously he doesn't know how to drive properly on a track.

[tommysch]

Id say his driving style suck.

The paddles MUST be column mounted...

[moonrider99]

prefer my wrx, much faster lol.

[kitikitiboy]

@moonrider99 so why are you bother watching this vid??? wrx are butt ugly...RA is a great looking car...just put some bolts ons and base flase and it will fly....Ralliart is Sti killer.......

[naturalgallant]

Come see us at Vancouver Mitsubishi. $1000 credit card and 0% financing on 09's while supplies last! Ask for Jason at 604 257 8891

[toasteroven2001]

Take your advertising spam and fuck off Jason.

[yakovgolyadkin]

The problem with the shifters moving with the wheel is that the wheel rotates so far to turn. I used to own a base 08 Lancer, now I have an 09 Ralliart, and you need almost a full turn more to get the wheel to its maximum turn.

Also, did you have the sport mode on or just normal mode? It can make a serious difference when driving on the course. And did you ever leave the car in D? The automatic mode on this car is much better than you'd expect, you're missing out if you did all manual mode.

[spriteremix02]

yeah i dont think this guy knows what hes talking about the ralliart's transmission is best in class and the best of its type, and the paddles are soposed to be stuck to the coloum not the wheel. just look at a lambo, ferrari, bentley.

[crashinc06]

you do no theres a super sport mode on the ralliart

[badopinion]

Poor biased review. Poor driver. Let's get a subjective review not some Jews opinion.

[drivingsports]

"Jew's opinion?" That's out of left field. Btw, Croatian by heritage.

[badopinion]

and religion?

[drivingsports]

Well I've never met a Jewish Croatian.

[badopinion]

Regardless, I like your flat sausage. Bulgarian's make it good too.

[silverbulletPT]

The only reason I can figure out why this guy is doing these tests is he ows Driving Sports.

Oh? He doesn't? Then get him out of the drivers seat!

The only thing this guy should drive is an office chair.

Talent and ability is required to drive these cars to its full potential and I just don't see it.

Sorry, I'm not saying I'm better, just that that is my opinion.

[drivingsports]

A car can hardly have its full potential explored on a small cone course.

[silverbulletPT]

This review is one of the worst I've seen.The Dual Clutch is SLOW?

You're an uninformed person,also, lets see you try driving for real and when that steering wheel is rotating like crazy because of the awesome drift that can be done with that car (not like you can) I want to see you find the correct paddle shift in a blink of an eye.

I bet with you it would be like "Uh I'll just push this one"...

[drivingsports]

If you think this review is the worst, you obviously haven't seen some of our other videos. This is cinematic gold by comparison. That said, we also have some that are quite good.

[gongometube]

I own one. Car is fine, this guy isn't my choice to showcase the car.

Get new tires on it and it will really shine. Those stock Yokohama tires hold the car back.

The car has much potential and is easily modded from stock levels.

Mild aftermarket parts awaken it.

[drivingsports]

We're not testing aftermarket tires, we're testing the car as it comes. Lots of cars shine with better tires. That's not the point.

[sahtheman]

The car is fine...the driver suxx all the way

[zoddie]

shit car sorry.

[Kimo0950]

He doesn't like the SST cuz he don't know where to put his fingers!!!!He don't know that one should never shift when cornering...thats why he's complaining for the paddle not on the steering wheel!!well...not a good driver!!the SST is FAST

[drivingsports]

Yes, I prefer the way Audi sets up their DSG versus the Mitsubishi SST. I'm entitled to my opinion. And, SST is fast on paper, but it's not consistent.

[Kimo0950]

yup...sorry I've been rude with my comment...I got what you mean tho!

[Cloudstrife1188]

@drivingsports Evo. All i have to say

[roops22]

this guy is clueless

[fattygetsowned]

Faggy Waggy

[delitemyheart]

I dont know how he can say the sst auto is to slow on a race track. This is the first time ive heard anyone dislike this gearbox. Everyone else raves on how awesome that gearbox is!

[frostyterrance]

I totaly agree budy

[frostyterrance]

I wont an evo wit hthe sst bur thats why i am geting a ralliart cuzz the mr evo in canada is like 50 grand alot more than 35 lol so ya

[fiveironfrenzy1]

I agree. He dislikes the SST, but I love it! I don't know how even subjectively, that he felt the SST was 'slow on the racetrack'. The SST transmission shifts faster than humans can, and because of this, the MR model always has faster lap times around a course than the GSR. Motortrend found that out, so has car and driver, so I don't know where this guy was coming from.

But I really enjoy the SST.

[dvskore]

This guy is a complete tool.

[bteeuwen]

mistubishi hippoart

[shimushimu]

how is the ralliart edition compared to the evolution mr modell?

is the ralliart faster than the evo oor hats the difference?

[nafem]

Ralliart is the evo JNR mate, best way to tell the diff between the evo and ralliart or wrx and wrx sti, is the STI and EVOS have wide pumped guards, among other things (more power etc, diff seats, 6spd, aload more features)

it goes like this

Ralliart VS WRX (cheaper)

EVO/ MR vs WRX STi (expensive)

MR is generaly a better model of the EVO but pretty much the same, the new EVO X MR i think the only difference is the MR has some special clutchles manual gearbox.

[akrexak]

I like how he says to make your own decision..

[e30bimmerdriver]

look at 00.52 seconds the fucking passenger real wheel looks like it gunna lift off

[itsusdammit]

ill stick with the srt4 anyday!!...the new lancer looks cheesy!

[IceB717]

SRT4's aren't that great of a car sorry and no the new lancer is a great looking car a lot better than a SRT4 is and you get more out of the ralliart than you do with a SRT4 so Neon aside I would take a new Lancer Ralliart over a SRT4 neon or caliber but if front wheel drive and cheap exterior styling is your thing then all the power to ya, awsome video and keep up the good vids!

[rollajoc96]

really....a NEON lmao

[Zadok12321]

dont buy for MSRP right now im taling to lots of dealers and most all thema re saying they can go 23,500 --- 24k TALK THEM DOWN IF YOUR GOING TO BUY ONE LIKE ME

[RalliartLSD]

People who say the ralliart isnt worth the bang for the buck is silly and just dont know the exact specs for this car....

[grungemaster06]

watch the 2008 targa newfoundland rally and watch the ralliart in action, there it'll prove the new tc-sst transmission and body design. i think the new ralliart is a bargin for what u get, u just need to do some mods to make it better

[jmasterj65]

evos are gay anyways. end of story

[eqilibrium]

wtf is with the springs? car jumps like a bunny hopper. Imagine driving this car in NYC. My friend has one with 500hp and its a great car after you make some changes.

[SuperStreet04]

didnt you hear him ..he said the road is bumpy

[grungemaster06]

ya man its almost like an old evo 9 without the race bred shocks and tire sizes.

[zxdio2000]

Do you know why Ferrari used to fix the paddles??? because you can rememeber every single time the position of up and down shift! I think that this is a good thing in the Mits bacause it's not a street car it's a rally car and as it the stearing is always n motion over the 180°!!

[Zadok12321]

With this car can you drive it as an automatic then if you want to switch it over to the paddle shifters you can do that as well? like the gts?

[wrx1020]

i believe so you just pop the gear lever to the left and its ready for the paddles. im 99% sure but i may be wrong.

[josephayal]

pretty and overpriced

[Evolution8MR17]

minus the "and"

[cinnabunn123]

There was no throw you back in your seat feeling like the Evo but it was good enough. It was more comfy and had alot more toys. Since I have a family but i also like speed and comfort. My whole family and I chose the ralliart. With a few mods this car can really rock like an Evo and have luxury and comfort also.

[cinnabunn123]

Next was the Ralliart. Since it had the TC-SST trans the salesman drove first to show us how it worked. I sat in the middle of the back seat with the kids no seat belt because i couldnt get it out and i thought i wouldnt need it. Well he took a C corner at 90 km and the G-vorce was crazy but i did not scence any body roll. meanwhile i was hanging on for dear life so as not to squish my daughter. I drove it after.

[cinnabunn123]

I had the pleasure of taking both an Evo GSR and a Ralliart for a test drive recently. I drove the Evo first it was AWSOME!! We were constantly thrown back in our seat without even slamming the pedal. The shifting was easy and smooth it didnt matter that the gears were so close togther my husband my kids and I loved it. but there were not enough luxuries for the price and it was a bit uncomfortable for everyday.

[CrownGear]

That review could have been done with two 16 year olds that just got their licence, they can't buy one, but I bet you they would find it was fun too....Come on give us more than that...What the hell kinda review was that.

[reervxr]

the car awesome

we dont care bout ur driving style .....

[party12345]

the stock wheels don't do justice to this car.

Experience any turbo lag?

[drivingsports]

It's a well-sized turbo to the motor, so no significant lag.

[dorifto]

09 wrx looks better

does the ralliart have the option to shift with the stick instead of paddles?

cus sometimes ur spinning the wheel so fast u don't even have time to hit the paddles

[drivingsports]

Yes, you can also select gears on the stick with a traditional back-forth +/- gate.

[dorifto]

thats great!

is there also a stick option instead of having twin clutch?

[drivingsports]

Oddly, no. You have to buy an EVO if you want a stick option. We'll have a more in-depth video up soon. It's premiering on our live show tonight (10pm pst Wednesdays)

[cougar1233]

I liked your review, it was honest. But please, this car is not worth

$27, 500-$30,000. Case in point: A brand new V6 camaro, with 305 horse power, runs for about $23,000. " The Ralliart happens to only have 237 horse power. The auto magazines say the car is over priced and under powered, as well. I think most people would readily agree that the Ralliart, is not a good value, for the money.

Please, always do a test run for 0-60 mph, and the quarter mile
