So I went out today to check out new cars. Ended up test driving a Lancer Ralliart. I must say I was very impressed. Initially I went out to test drive an Evo X MR, but they won't let you test drive it without getting you approved to buy the car. Not a problem, I just didn't want to take the time. The Ralliart is pretty damn quick and the TC-SST is freakin' awesome. Holds gears right where it should and does nice throttle blips on downshifts. Simpy put...best automatic ever. After driving it, unless the MR is fast enough to make me shit myself, I don't think I could justify paying the extra $12K they wanted (the only one they had left was fully loaded with a $42K sticker before rebates). Even a based of around $37K seems a bit steep for it. Also went to check out a WRX STi at the same lot, but same deal with the MR...had to get approval first. Plus the STi only comes with a stick. The state won't let me drive a stick, so that's out. So I may be in the market for a new Ralliart. Anyone know of any trouble spots/issues/relaibility with those?
