Ok so august 1, 2018 is the date i will finally grab a evo x MR or ralliart,
I would like some assistance....my lease on my 2015 altima will but up on that date, and thats the date i am gonna buy 1 or the other....
I am perfectly fine with either a ralliart or evo x, hp goal is only around 300 bhp... here is a list of things..
Benefit to buying either a ralliart or evo x in 2018 will be the prices will be cheaper...
Ok here goes:
1. There are no Mitsubishi dealers within 100 miles of greater cincinnati, so basically i would be purchasing from carmax due to warranty stuff (Tranny)
2. We do get snow here, so that acd pump issue, is there a work around that, or do i have to keep spraying underneath it?
3. Comfort... how is the daily comfort in a MR? I have only test drove it twice, and neither was a inner city road one...both were on the highway...
4. Maintenance, i imagine the ralliart will be cheaper on this, but have the prices come down on evo parts?
5. I dont race, however i do go to edgewater (locals know about it)
6. Insurance is like 191 - 225 a month on a evo x mr from 2010-2015.. and 98 -140 on a ralliart
7. I have seen and text drove the new wrx, and i do like them and eeems like wrx is a obvious choice of a ralliart...however i favor the look of the lancer better and i am fascinated by the sst.. the cvt was fair but eh... i also like the push button start, can the evo or ralliart doors lock while the car is running? Like for winter warming?
Thats about it, i am gonna get a blue or black one.. and so far it seems that carmax is a way to get a low milage version..
Any knowledge would be great... i am aware of the work ams does, as well as cobb.. i seen the tactix cable but i prefer to use cobb as its easier to reset.

I have one of each. The Ralliart is a great DD but my Evo is so much nicer to drive in any sort of sporting fashion.
1. Carmax warranty is awesome. Worth every penny just for the possible SST or ACD pump
2. You can get a relocation kit that moves the pump into the trunk. Otherwise it's a replace/rebuild scenario. You can also pull the pump down and try to seal all of the joints on the pump so that they don't let moisture in. But the trunk relocation is best.
3. The MR is fine for comfort. If you get the Recaros, just make sure they fit your body type. Bigger guys have more issues with them.
4. They're going to be pretty much the same.
5. ok
6. Cheaper insurance is nice
7. It is all a matter of preference, isn't it?
As for other knowledge, just read up on the forums. There's a ton here to learn about. There's even an SST subform to spend some time in.

I can fit in a evo just fine....but it may restrict to passengers tho...
My credit is fair and i dont think it will be that much higher by then so im looking at around a 600 or more rating by that time.. currently building it now from 540... managed to get a brand new altima no money down and a negative trade in.. payment is nice and high but at least in 2 more years ill be free of a car i dont want and can get what i do want

1.Carmax usually overprices there cars
2.acd pump is covered under a 10yr warranty from Mitsu. SST is also covered for a long time anyways also any mods and the warranty is void on the SST ne ways
3.MR is good for a daily but don't forget it has clutch packs so its not like a normal auto.
4.If your worried about Maintenance cost then don't get the car...they can be a bit high
Just get an X the rally art is not the same car...

2014 MR - $31k with 49k miles
2012 MR - $26k with 61k miles
2010 MR - $26k with 34k miles

Carmax - any diatance

You don't want a MR. The trans is not what you want around town. It's hard on them to creep up and it kills them if you roll back in drive. It's also nearly a 11 year old design gearbox, in twin clutch systems that's a lifetime.
I assume you are waiting due to price, save up find a base model GSR new and take care of it, stock!

Get the stick. I have to drive a stick through traffic all the time and if you know how to drive stick well you'd preserve the transmission longer because you can control what it does at low speeds better than any auto trans without the worry of blowing it up.

I second the vote for stickshift. I DD drive it through backroads, highway, and a fair amount of traffic. Its not too unyielding, and doesn't make your commute as painful as some manual transmissions.

I daily my GSR and city driving is a pain in the *** especially with traffic. Sometimes it takes me a over a hour to get home and I'm only 30 minutes away. If you dont mind driving stick in traffic and dealing with that headache then by all means buy the GSR. I recommend getting a MR but that's just my opinion.
