I owned a 2002 ES before it burned down but even that wan't enough to deter me from buying another on. I love the idea that the car is almost as rare as the EVO this first year. The only other cars i seriously looked at was the SVT which felt like it would fall apart on me the way i drive, the Scion Xb which wasn't available in the area at the time and the Saturn Redline Ion which again wasn't available at the time. I test drove everything though and nothing impressed me as much for the price tag except the 69 camero i drove at the local muscle car dealership. heh heh I just couldn;t do that to my fiance though, she'd kill me if she had to drive that to work everyday!

I'm considering the RA because it is quick, handles well for a car on junk RS-A's, has upward potential without gigantic investment and is very reasonably priced to get into. I'm going Evo if I can but the RA is a very appealing alternative.

when i got home from work at 2 this morning there was a silver 02 WRX in the driveway. my roomate had a legacy that was diagnosed with a blown head gasket. so he traded it in.
the wrx is the only other car i was seriously considering. now i get to see which car is more pratical in the long run.
our house is starting to look like a true bachleor pad. 3 people, 5 cars, and 2 dirtbikes. man are we in debt

sure but ours came stock like that (more ponies to begin with)which means more potential if we mod it to still KICK YO *** FOO.... <-- sorry had to throw in the cheesy line..if we put the same mods in our car as you did on yours unless you change your engine...we'd still be above you...your just jealous admit it and repent...LOL...nothing wrong with that....

Also, they gave me 10yr/100k powertrain warranty, even though they incorrectly sent me 7yr/100k warranty pamphlet!
I got my sportback MIVEC cuz it drove and handled so much sportier then my 04 corolla. Yes, I did trade in spanking new corolla for this sportback. It was'nt too bad due to high enough trade in value and 2k rebate from Mitsu.

...And for all the OZ people, if you can get on here and say MY car is ****ing ugly, guess what? I can say "Yours is ****ing ugly"
I love how all these OZ driving ****ers get on the RALLIART boards and ***** and talk **** about the RA. But then, when we tell them on the RALLIART boards that their car looks like ****, they tell us we shouldnt? Is it just me, or does that sound like bull****?

Ah, **** the OZ. It's a damn ES with side skirts and ***** *** 15 inch alloys. I smoke these mf's every weekend. Freakin clowns. I raced a yellow one with an evo wing and murdered him. It was hilarious. Personally, I think all lancers (from es to evo) should stick together, but when these corny *** OZ owners come on here and **** on the ralliart, it pisses me off. I'm gonna video tape a race against an OZ and post it, so we can all have a good laugh.

HAHAHAHA
Boy can't we all just get along. It's starting to get like the EVO tuner forums up in here.
I'm going to go way back and say that neither the OZ nor the Ralliart look better than the 2 door mirage I had which these cars are replacing. They were rounder and more sporty. But what is going on here is the classic "new model everything is too different" syndrome. Give it time it will grow on you. I know I didn't buy my OZ because of the looks but if you look at what people are doing to them out there they can be made beautiful works of art.

you are right wadadlig,
what some of these people are doing to thier OZ's are making them look sweet. and you have alot more performance upgrades available right now. i like them both, but niethier has a nice grill, i just went with what i thought was more fun to drive. both cars have thier ups and downs.
