Just bought an '11 RA

Hey everyone,

I posted in here once before before I bought the car, but yesterday finally purchased it..It's a 2011 that just got there the day before and was still all wrapped up. I wouldve gone for a '10 but they were all gone. Oh well.I dont know if this is the right forum to post in,but just wanted to say hey to everyone. I had a '02 Acura RSX that I traded in that was beat to hell and right under 100K that I needed to get rid of. I'm in Chicago so the AWD and was a big thing also the power and the looks which really not many other sedans can touch. I got the car with trade in which I didnt get much and tax,title,and all out the door at 24K..We also have the highest sales tax here in the country..They started at 26,600, but after a couple hours and at 8PM we finally came to an agreement at 24K out the door...Im def enjoying the car and its a huge jump going from a 160HP RSX with no torque to a turbocharged 237hp Ralliart...Im glad to join the community and any advice or recommendations for anything current or down the line would be greatly appreciated..Thanks..Took a pic of the car also..

welcome!
you're probably the first 2011 guy on this forum that I notice =P

hope you will enjoy the vendor support and community knowledge here at EvoM

so, from what I can deduct, 2011 is exactly the same as 2010 model (except small option change..)

Pretty much..I read all the rumors how it was supposed to have 5 more HP,be a little lighter with quicker 0-60 time and a couple more upgrades, but I guess that was all shot down and it's basically the samething as the '10..I wouldve gone for a '10 if it was available, but they had only one Ralli and it was in the color I wanted so it was a spur of the moment thing and happend to be the '11 and with lots of negotiation on price and alot of time,I ended up walking out with it

Im in the the southwest surburbs,about 35 min from downtown...Its really rare to see a Evo or Ralliart out here, if I see a Lancer its usually the GTS, but the last time I seen a Ralliart out here was about 5 months ago and I drive alot so theyre really rare this way and now I own one
