Considering a 2010 Ralliart or 2010 WRX
something that someone pointed out to me a few months ago is that the the Ralliart is sort of a poor man's Evo which is ok because it's a great car... likewise the WRX is the same with the STI, but the WRX apparently is much more on the same platform as the STI than the Ralliart is with the Evo... how they meant that exactly i'm not sure, but I suppose it means much less would have to be changed to get that particular car. Like I said before though... i'd go for the WRX even now, but it just doesn't have that X handling.
Others also make the case that the Ralliart can be tuned and made just as fast which is probably close, but it's not likely going to run a 13.4 with just an tune and even if it does, a good tuner will cost 250-500 MORE dollars.. you tune the WRX and you have that much more power over the Ralliart yet again so that argument is stupid.

The SRT 4 would cost to much to downgrade it. Like I said money isn't the issue. I save my money and can afford the monthly payment and not put a dent in my finances. My credit issues were when I was on college and hasn't been a problem for 2 years. I simply want a everyday car with power.
If the WRX tranny goes on the other hand, I dunno about warranty but it will be much easier to get fixed
Can you post that? From the video I watched, they were actually using manual mode, though most people on the forums were assuming he was using automatic, because he referred to it as an automatic.
Either way, I trust a strong manual better, and Subaru better overall as a company as well

yes it is, and i'll bet it's better than the RA at higher speeds too... if it stops faster from 60, then it likely will stop faster from higher speeds as well... I don't have proof, but it seems it would be common sense, neither of them are Brembo brakes will won't fade as quickly, as as I said, the Suby is lighter as well which always helps.

Is it harder to get a loan for used car?

In my experience it has been harder to get a loan for a used car. When i bought my Ralliart my first pick was a 2002 eclipse GT convertible. They wouldn't approve me for the 13k for that car but they would for a 19k new Ralliart.

OP, don't listen to any of these guys... LOL most of them here giving you advice haven't even test driven a Ralliart or a TC-SST Evo. All they do is just point out numbers from publications and videos. You HAVE to try it for yourself, either you will love it or hate it. It's especially easier for you to adjust to the feel of it since you are used to driving manuals.
I got my X from Serramonte Mitsu (Bay Area), they are now a used car only dealer... and no longer sells new Mitsus. They were clearing out their Evos, so I got an insane deal on one that time. They had one RA left, but they weren't giving it away, so the X was what I took home.
Why don't you call SAM from Southcoast? They are the biggest Mitsu dealer, not just in california, but the whole country. Anaheim also has great pricing, they'll compete for your business... I say go to whoever can give you the best deal. Like I said, if you can qualify for 0% APR, go with a 2010. If not, get a 2009 for that $2K cash back and clearance pricing, if you try hard enough, I'd imagine you can knock off a total of $5-6K off a new 09. I don't know if you can get that kind of deals with a WRX, but only one way to find out.
