80% Solution
Is the ralliart at least 80% of the Evo X? For someone who wants a DD, needs a decent trunk, and a softer ride. I want an Evo but with two kids I am going to need carry stuff. I know that a ralliart will never be an Evo even with mods but I am okay with close enough.

I test drove both the X and the RA, and in my opinion the RA is a better DD. If you dont plan on tracking the car very much, then your not really going to see a HUGE difference between the two. The RA suspension is softer than the X, and it feels much more friendly as a DD than the X. The RA is just a really fun car to drive where the X makes it seem like a much more serious affair.

It has the battery, and something else in the back. Cant remember what the other thing is, something about spray kicks in my mind. Also I think the Evo has bracings in the trunk as well, correct me if im wrong.

The X has bracing, the battery and the cooler spray tank in the trunk. As far as tracking Im not looking to do more than the occasional drag and autocross.

i'd recommend upgrading the BPV to something metal, and get an EVO X fmic if you're going to track it at all. the stock IC just heatsoaks fast and auto-x doesn't really get up to speeds where it's cooling really effectively.

The RA sedan has pretty decent trunk space, especially since you can lower down the rear seats. I have never had an problems of not being able to fit something in there. If you get a RA tuned, its just as quick as an Evo x if your driving on the street. Its on the track that the Evo x really comes alive and separates itself from the RA. If your not going to track the car, get a RA, its a great car and the possibilities as far as tuning are just starting to be explored a little more, I would expect a lot of things to happen in that aspect, this year, which will make the RA even quicker.
