It depends on your age. I pay about 2600$ a year and I'm 22 with no accidents and two tickets. That's roughly 400$ more than my lancer was.

I don't pay monthly but it works out to 220$ a month which is about 40$ more than it was for my lancer.

I hope in the future Mitsubishi will give the Ralliart the wide body that the X has, put 245mm wide summer tires on it, and give it 50 more horsepower.

As for the Evo X they should give it a wider body, put 275mm wide summer tires on it, and give it 50 more horsepower in the future.

I can't see the evo coming with 275 tires, most people don't want a car that tracks every groove in the road. Subaru and Mitsubishi are in exactly the same predicament, any changes they make to their lesser performance car could harm their top of the line performance car.

I disagree.

I pretty much gave a solution to that in my previous post.

The only problem is that in many cities people are spending more time "street posing" than they are "street racing"... Hence why underpowered pretty BMWs are soo popular.. Also street racing is illegal but street posing is not so many would argue that they would rather have a pretty A to B car than an extremely fast one

I'm not talking about street racing, I'm talking about taking it to the track. I'm just one of those people that doesn't care that much about how their car looks. As long as there's no dents and no obvious scratches, I'm happy. I spend more time fretting over some tread wear than I do about rock chips.

To forever keep the Ralliart at a inferior state is by always giving it an inferior performing AWD system than the Evo, and never give it a body as wide as the Evo.
