Which would you prefer for the Ralliart a 5-speed or the TC-SST auto?

 

Well, the only option for the one to be released this year is the SST, however never hurts to show mistu if prospective buyers would prefer something else

You should also add 6 speed to the list

 

wasn't the evo rumored to only come in the SST also?
I would think the SST ralliart is going to cost as much as a base evo, or pretty close, and they will have a 5/6spd priced closer to a decked out lancer. That would make sense, to me anyway.

 

id have to drive it to see if i prefer the sst over 5speed.

 

5 speed. I gotta have the 3rd pedal.

 

i would love a 5 sp, but current car is auto so im not too fussed, plus dual clutch autos are spose to be good

 

^6speed at that.

 

Nah i prefer to shift gears myself i dont want the car to shift for me Def has to come out in a 5 or 6 spd

 

I have yet to own an "automatic" but if I decided to pick up 2009 Ralliart it would be as a DD so the SST might be the better bet.

 

The 09 Ralliart will not be as much fun to drive in an automatic as it will be in a manual actually no car is lol

 

^true but some ppl have to look at the bigger picture, such as traffic, wifey, etc.

i would hate my RA if it was auto but maybe the awd and turbo will make the new one just as fun......maybe

 

Screw the wife LOL mine has her own car so its all good plus shes gonna have to learn how to drive a 5spd and i dont drive in much traffic anyway so its all good

 

^^^ im only messin i know that there are alot of people that do not know how to drive a 5spd so its all good.

On that note all morning i have been makin phone calls to MMNA about the 09 Ralliart basically trin to find out IF its gonna come out in a 5spd all all they tell me is that they dont really have much information on it since it hasnt come out yet looks like this summer they will be getting another phone call from me

 

I would really prefer the car to be a manual transmission... It is just more fun to drive in my opinion....

 

I disagree -- I want to drive, not worry about shifting gears -- I think the people who are dead set against the TC-SST are mostly people who have never driven a paddle-shift car, and probably haven't spent much time driving good automatics, either (meaning a sporty automatic, as opposed to the sludge that most automatics seem to tend to).

City driving in traffic just isn't as much fun when you can't concentrate on lane shifting and cornering, all because you're distracted by speed changes and shifting. I'm looking forward to the TC-SST because the rest of the time I want something much closer to a manual.
