I am gonna get my RA in a few weeks~
jus wondering what u guys like/dislike about it if u have to pick one~~
personally,
i like 1) the MIVEC
2) the styling
3) its evo's little brother~~~~~~~~~
4) the stereo~

however, i dun really like
1) the interior~ it a bit dull IMO
2) the wind/road noise at high speed

OVERALL~ ITS A GREAT CAR~
com'on~lets talk about it~

 

I love the MIVEC, but I wish they ran the car with higher than 9.0 to 1 compression. We would probably get something like 200 hp if we got the 11 to 1 that some of these cars are getting. Could you imagine how AWESOME this car would be if it came with 200bhp with the MIVEC and all that torque, without having turbo lag to get there?

Other than that, I love the interior.
The seats ROCK!
Road noise wasnt that bad till I got my loud *** exhaust.
The stereo on the RA without the sun and sound I find just OK, not great, but not terrible.
I also loved the $$$$$$$

 

Hey man, I too am simply waiting for an RA...well more like itching till I get done school and get a job so that I can go get mine...

What I like about the RA is simple...When I test drove it, I had perma-grin ...and so did the gf

I never noticed any road noise then, but I plan to test drive it again before I slap down the cash, so I'm gonna keep my ears open...

I like the interior, the seats are almost as comfy as the ones in my old Merkur, plus it's roomier then the sc-2 I have right now..

Only beef I think I found is something I'll just live with, is that the gauges are kinda small, but I'll probably get used to it after a few days of driving...

Man I wish it was May....

 

like the engine, but hate the appearance

 

I like the cheap price I paid for my sportback and the sporty feel of the car but...

there's this slight constant vibration on my steering wheel that won't go away from idle to high speed, anyone else notice this?
Is it because our cars don't have counter balancing on the engine?

 

Cuz its an automatic

 

Love the shifter...reminded me of my mr2's ...very easy to shift (if you get the manual)

stereo was ok so I got an aftermarket stereo.

Pickup is pretty darn good for a 4 cylinder and it handles not too bad either for its size.

Don't like the styling of the back bumper and the front is more streamlined than the old ones but still could be improved.

The only problem I have had so far is when I am downshifting sometimes even with the clutch fully in, the shift from 3rd to second gear catches and grinds the gear (only happened twice though so not a major prob..heck could just be my car)

overall a decent car...wish it was cheaper though..LOL

 

Seriously, does anybody else have this vibration problem?

And what does auto have anything to do w/ this?

I'm like ready to replace that cheap steering wheel with aftermarket, if 'll help!!!

 

its not the evo's little brother, its the evo's kid sister.

 

Automatic just have a lot more moving parts. It has been my experience that when driving any auto I always feel more in the steering. But that is just my experience

 

would that make your OZ the red headed step child?

just kidding, i love the OZs as well

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.ROFLMAO!!!

 

I just drove an RA reciently and i thought it had a good ride. The seats were also nice. I thought the interrior could have used a little more "jazz". Compaired to my EVO, the ride in the RA is much less stiff but still is firm enough to toss it around. It should have come with 200hp just like mitsumichael7 said but much faster then the origional OZ. For the the over all price I think that your getting a pretty good package.

 

I like the constant "ooo's and aww's" I get when people look at my car. I like when people don't know what it is and they always say "I've never seen one of those yet". I hate the headlights, that's pretty much the only thing I dislike about the cars looks. I love the back, love the sideskirts, love the interior, and everything else. The only other problem I don't like is the fact that we rev so ****ing high on the freeway for everyday type driving. We def need a 6th gear. We really got screwed over on that aspect. My girlfriends 03 GTS Eclipse does 80mph only reving 3,000. We rev 4 or more I believe if we're doing 80. Actually more. I just drove her car today and that aspect somewhat pisses me off. All in all, I love my RalliArt. And I surely love the fact that this car has ALOT more potential then most imports out there today.

 

ALOT more potential then most imports out there today.

What do you mean more potential???
