hey, i haven't ever posted anything before and im actually using my friends name who has a sweet 05 evo mr but i had a few questions about the ralliarts. ok im 22 married with a kid on the way and we can buy an 05 ra fo r about 9000 with only 8000 miles on it. so we are seriously considering it and i have done research and got the stats on read tons of reports but things i can't find that i was wondering if i could get some honest unbiased help on are things like....how is it in the snow? is it roomy enough for a car seat in the back? what is the realistic gas mileage? is insurance any higher? which my friend with the evo says it isn't. if any have been in a wreck how is the side impact safety? it appeared low on the tests for front seat side impact. is it possible to put side airbags in afterwards? and any other real life driving tips pros or cons to help us decide whether or not to get this and whether it's a good deal or not? ok thanks for the help...

You may get a better respose if you post in the RALLIART GENERAL .My RA is lowered and i have no problems... need good snow tires..stock tires sucks.
I have had a car seat in there a few times with no problems...And 2 people.
Gas mileage is not the best, But it's not crap either....Do a search i think it's been discussed before.
Insurance is not high...No more than normal...Mine's not anyway.( $880 Cdn year)
You can get the RA with side impact air bags...No wrecks yet.
Excellent braking, handling and accelleration for it's class. Paint does not seem to be the best...the front will chip easily from normal driving.
I personally love th car so far...so does the g/f. I have almost 50,000 on mine and no problems.
Hope this helps.
