Do you want speed or luxury? That should answer it.

go with the Ralliart, you can add the sound and navigation later on and aftermarket is always better. Or you could order the navigation later on, but you will never be able to add AWD with AYC and a engine built to handle boost.

Personally between the 2 I would go fully loaded GTS. The are stylish and I think the leather interior looks kinda luxurious. RA are way overpriced for what u get. Lot more cars in that class I would consider before RA. If u want speed, look at the MS3. They go really good and are a better price. just my 2 cents though Good Luck with which ever u choose

+1. Give the Mazdaspeed 3 a shot. You get the performance, the price, and the style. If I were in your position I would go for the Mazdaspeed 3....Hands down.

If you're looking to upgrade then I'd say go with the no frills, no options. That would give you more money in your pocket to upgrade it with and still give you the base car you need to get you from point A to point B and through sub-points D-E-F-G-H-and so on.

I always end up replacing something or other...even when its not my car... like my dad's 01 Toyota Camry that i replaced the headlights with projectors and silverstar headlights. heh dad was not entirely thrilled.

this


also. It's still a mitsu. which means crap paint and no warranty

however, if i where to pick between the loaded GTS and a base Ralliart. It would be a no brainer...ralliart.
I like cool extra features and stuff, but the difference between 170hp and 240hp is pretty big. Not to mention FWD vs AWD
