The Ralliart since it's introduction has gotten a bit of bad press. So I decided to post up some stuff that I personally think makes this car outstanding.

In no order:

-I've said that I'd prefer a manual, but more and more that I use the SST the more I like it. For 90% of the driving that I do it's far more practical, dare I say also It might extend the life of the transmission over a manual because it doesn't get tired after a day of work and miss shifts.

-Distinctive style, like it or not it's different looking and it gets noticed, close enough to evo style with out being over the top.

-I think It's a pretty good value (I can only speak for Canada) compared to other sporty sedans, and with every carmaker being sqeezed it may become an even better value as Mitsu seems willing to slash prices and deal now.

 

-Awesome DD. IMO, +200HP is enough for some spirited driving here and there.

-It's high potential. The RA seems to be making nice numbers with just a tune alone.

-Ride/handling is comfortable. AWD is great.

-08/09 Lancers in general look very stylish. Love the exterior provided.

-Very impressed with the SST. Not your regular, everyday automatic.

 

i love playing with the paddle shifters, so much fun to use. especially when going against a z4 at a red light

SST = AWSOME

 

I love the front end! it looks so mean and bad ***! looks fast just standing still.
And the AWD in the snow is amazing!

 

1. SST
2. SST
3. SST

Best transmission i've ever driven. It really is having your cake, and eating it as well. Only question is modibility and long term reliability. But no doubt, as far as performance goes, its as good as they come.

Besides that.

-Bluetooth is pretty awesome
- AWD, i love being able to get up my steep driveway in the snow, and the off the line traction.
-4b11t, great engine. Could use a little bit more power, which seems to be in the workings as we speak.
Design- I know it is love it or hate it, but i think the car looks great, exterior wise.

 

- SST for sure!
- front end looks mean wants to fight someone allt he time haha
- interior its gorgeous but its really dirty right now cuz its still winter where i am so no point in getting it cleaned and then get it dirty again
- recaro seats and the *** warmers does wonders in the winter =)
- my 30 gb harddrive hehe
- paddle shifters

negative:
- my trunk for my damn golf bag....gotta fold the seat down...maybe i should go buy a sunday bag for it haha
