I drove one today, the Ralliart sports hatch. Went quite well, really liked the SST trans. Freakin expensive for top model I think it was something like $48k plus on roads!

Looks a lot better in real life.

Its a heavy tank though, try 1590kg!! They really need 2.4s now.

There is an article on Autospeed about the new EVO, says on winding roads, its brilliant, around town its horrible, absolutley shitcanned the transmission, said a stock auto is better. The car is gutless under 3 grand, and alot of it is due tot he transmission.

I really don't know why they only selling this transmission in a Raliiart Lancer...?? Most would prefer a floroshift, which would also make the car cheaper to sell!

 

[Missile]

i know why you all think that it is ugly...

Holy crap that's 400kg more than the CD5A GSR's.
and only 36 Kw's more power.

I really don't know why they only selling this transmission in a Raliiart Lancer...??

They're stupid? lol

 

[Dean]

well spotted Tim.
Down to a T!! even the rims are almost the same
WTF Mitsubishi WTF!!!

Well guys...at least we can look at it this way::

Finally mitsubishi have reintroduced the (GSR) so to speak...its good that they are trying to fill in the void between N/A lancers and the very expensive Evo X.

A step in the right direction if you ask me

Take into account that the car has AWC, 9 speaker stereo, ACD, TC-SST, Mivec, cruise and comfy/quiet as interior etc etc all that shit adds weight but no one would buy it if it didn't have it. Cars today have to have alot more shite in them compared to 15 years ago! Everyone whines a lot now, so Mitsu has tried to cater for everyones tastes with the sedan, hatch and wagon in either 2.0l N/A, 2.4l N/A and 2.0l turbo, rumour has it that its coming out in Diesel too. They have to compete with all the other small car manufacturers.
Before you guys comletely shitcan the car atleast go for a test in one. I actually quite like the trans in it, was learning about it today aswell. Feels very good on the road, sports mode is quite good too. I think they have done well, a good in between. You just aren't used to seeing a Mitsu hot hatch, it'll grow on you.
