I drove the coupe, its' quick but very poor quality interior and u have to open the door to adjust the seat or u can bruise ur hand with the door closed. The sedan looks low key though, not flashy at all even in red. Looks like a rental with rims i guess that good so u won't attract police attention.

It was the story of the guy who drove his STI into his living room. I asked that he delete the link because the page had pornographic material at the bottom.

LOL.. I drove a non super/turbo-charged SS before, and you're totally right about the seat adjustments. If that's not bad enough, what is to be said about the ergonomics? They're TERRIBLE!


Hollywood, Hollyweird. Whatever. It's hollyweird because there are a lot of weirdos, and scum out there. I don't miss that place.

The beauty of the SBC is that they made what, a million of them over the years? With so many of them out there, everyone and his grandma makes parts for them. I am more of a Ford man myself, but I have dabbled in the big block mopar world a bit too

Back on topic, I have not spent extended time in the X/RA seats, but I have done 300 mile stretches in my IX and it was more comfortable than any other car I have done such long trips in. The road noise gets frickin old fast, I am sure the RA would be the same way

I think the corvette racing site cited something like over 90 million small blocks built. Sure, they're not all the same, but still.

Quote from Jalopnik.

The problem is, at $24,095, the Cobalt SS is only $900 cheaper than a 2009 Subaru Impreza WRX; a car that’s faster, has much better handling and is eminently more practical.

In the end nothing really matters.
It's always going to be Mitsubishi versus Subaru.
EVO vs STI
Who wins?

The ralliart is mitsubishi's way of making some extra cash. Also, I think they are doing r&d for that new transmission.

There have been rumors of Mitsu pulling out of America completely... This is one of the few thinngs that makes me weary about getting a ralliart.
