So many cars............

What made you purchase your Lancer over the over vehicles in the class? I'm stuck between Lancer Ralliart Sport Back vs Suburu WRX hatchback vs Mazdaspeed3 hatchback. Just curious............

Only reasons would be price and insurance. If I were you I'd get one of the other three.

WRX is better on paper. Especially due to the manual tranny option.

MS3 has pretty severe torque/steer issues and why i avoided it (and that stooopid 'grin' grill )

I just really had to go with the better looking car... The RASB 'excites' me like the other two did not... and i do like the 'exclusivity of it.' Nobody asks about a MS3, i gotta' tell ya'...

i love my ralliart sedan to death but honestly dont like the look of the ralliart SB. the wrx hatch is definitely better looking IMO. the lines and shape is a bit better than the jaggedness of the sportback. it all comes down to personal preference though. just my two cents. oh and for the mazda, no.

Hatchback is like a white thing isn't it? I live in LA and everytime I see a hatchback sub/lancer/audi/mazda/ and VW on the road, I'd see the driver as a white dude. I'm asian.... The only hatchback type of cars I've ever liked are the 90's - early 2000's honda...
