I'm personally not a big fan of the SB RAs... don't know why but I do prefer hatchbacks but the SB just doesn't do it for me

Just so others aren't confused. That is ONLY available on the sportback, not the sedan.

I considered the WRX hatch but knowing what I know about the EJ20/25's from seeing so many broken ones at the shop I couldn't do it.

We bought it cause you had one, and made free maps for it.

LOLS, no seriously, evo bits with more space then the evo = winning.

40K base model is a rip.

I paid just shy of 36K after taxes with my 2009 SE Lancer that I still owed 20K on.

PS: You weren't driving south on Macloed yesterday after the Flames game by any chance were you? I saw a guy in a WW RA with the nose blacked out. Gave the guy a thumbs up lol

Nope, wasn't me.

I don't have my nose blacked out yet. They sell them for 37 with Recaros and leather and stuff. Let me pm you and we can go and talk to Tristan at Platinum together. Plus he promised me a 100$ if he sells a car to anybody I recommend lol. Really nice guy.

I upgraded from the GTS to the Ralliart. The main reasons were the turbocharger, 168 hp just didn't do it for me; the AWD, I wanna be able to go (pretty much) anywhere; the Twin Clutch-SST transmission; and the even sportier look than the GTS.

I considered the Audi A3, and the WRX,

My RA Sportback was less expensive than both, and I have the only one around (so far)

Have 13k on it now and even my Wife has grown to love it.

I don't miss the clutch pedal at all.
