I am going to get my first car in a couple of days and i need to decide which one to get. A 2009 lancer GTS fully loaded. Or a 2009 Lancer Ralliart with nothing. Keep in mind that the ralliart is going to give me a much higher insurance payment and its my first car. Please gimmie sum suggestions

If possible, I would save up more money and perhaps buy a new base level X GSR.....maybe....

Go for the loaded car -- better to buy a cheaper car loaded than a higher-end car with nothing. The engine and AWD are nice, but the maintenance on the Ralliart (with the shorter warranty and potentially high-maintenance TC-SST) stands a good chance of catching you without money for critical repairs before you're ready to sell the car.

My insurance barely went up with the Ralliart (over a seven year old Mazda Protege ES), but they have it listed as "Ralliant" on the insurance card, so maybe my insurer just hasn't clued in yet. Either way, I'm not complaining

Ralliart and you won't regret it

Insurance would only be about 15 dollars more a month. I'm 20 and I checked it. So if that's a lot to you, or maybe you pay it all at once, then it would be. Talk to your insurance person to try to do something like combining your parent as the driver of the car. Somehow my insurance lady did that, but the insurance is still under my name as the main driver and its saving me a lot. I pay $110.74 a month for my 08 Lancer GTS, since April 2007.

According to his personal information he has a 2009 GTS so I assume he made his choice.
