Car Tech 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart review

Mitsubishi's mainline sedan is a lot more fun than a Camry.

[@patrickmichael3384]

I miss these Mitsu’s.

One thing you missed on the 0-60. If you start revved to 3k, or discount the first foot of rollout, it does it in 5.5 seconds. It's that initial rev that kills the 0-60 time. Also, I love the spoiler. I don't see why people complain about it so much.

[@rowsdower12]

I love this car soooooo much. I don't care if its not the fastest, there is more to a car than that anyway. I love how he put in the description in the video saying that this is more fun than a Camry. A microwave is more fun than a Camry. But maybe he was being sarcastic. Regardless good review. Don't care too much about tech, just want to hear the engine.

I love this guy's review, he's criticism sometimes could be harsh but I found it enjoyable to listen to lol. he doesn't sugar coat, sometimes I disagree but overall I think it's okay.. because all people have different opinion. his humor is good for car review show.

[@Camilian66]

amazing the differences with the 0-60 speed quotes .. 7.1 stated by Mitsubishi make it seem slower than a lot of cars. Here I say they do a torque start with gives the 5.8 0-60 punch. And after taking the Golf MK6 GTI for a test drive I can tell you the Ralliart is quicker.

[@CatLady999]

I agree with you.

[@bumble144]

its not a Mitsubishi without the spoiler, with out it the car look incomplete. But they should have use a manual instead it would be cheaper and better car

[@josef959]

The situation in my country is different. A second-hand 09 ralliart sells for about $30k. A second-hand 08 evo (GSR) $41k. To give you some further perspective, an 03 Evo 8 sells from $25k. All Evos retain plenty of value here; 10 year old Evo 8 still retains at least 50% of its value. True you can find a cheaper Evo, but it would be 10 years old

[@ksearles85]

I own one of these fellas and I can tell you as a fact that If you don't launch it at or around 3000 rpm it will do about a 7 second 0-60 time.

[@danieleandolina7075]

na bella macchina!!!

[@RealtimeReviews613]

so true.....

[@yakovgolyadkin]

@ksearles85 I own one too. If you don't rev it it will still do a 5.8-6.0 0-60.

[@ColdNapalm42]

There IS a USB port...it's in the glove comparment in the top left corner

[@ksearles85]

You're exactly right... the RA is a shit load quicker than a fucking Golf, and you're right about the 7.1 sec time stated by Mitsu, they time that by just mashing the throttle without power braking.

[@GregModayil]

how come top gear usa never took him ???

[@Clesarie]

Yeah America is weird sometimes. Evos' hold their value well here but its only due to rarity and nothing else.

[@irulEsong]

well you know you can take the ralliart without the twin-clutch auto for about 15-25k depending on your options and an extra 10k for twin-clutch

[@porgeyang]

why buy a ralliart when you can get a second hand older evo for a lot less

[@nappiral]

I think you're being generous since Motortrend just got a 0-60 of 5.1 in the real Evo MR 2012 model.

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

dam right

[@ksearles85]

The photo of the Evo at the start isn't even an Evo. =/

[@Clesarie]

I tend to disagree. This is the bad choice is what this is. Because for some reason these things are hard to find and seem to hold their value. You could get a 08-10 GSR for cheaper than the ralliart now adays and those are real evos. They're only around $22,000 used with very low millage.

[@Pedal2TheMetal]

I love it too!

[@columbuscrewfan20]

God damn that car look sooo hot.

[@abdullakc]

waw i want it lol

[@a6thomas574]

what is a rat motor or a put put motor?? this dude ......

[@Vaultex2045]

I own one of these and totally love it. This guy's review is crap !!!

[@sparcomarco2007]

i checked out this car so many times on the web site,if i had a dollar for everytime i checked this car at mit.com i would own this car

[@seven719]

Mitsu is dumb for not having a manual version of the Ralliart. The TC-SST just raises the price tag a lot. I would have really consider buying one. You could get a base WRX for less, with more power and a 5 gear manual with clutch. No wonder the WRX is more popular then the Ralliart in it's class.

[@DerikPiano]

lol at 3:14 buffet table!!!!!

[@jusezava]

he made the peep sound lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@warikplaya]

If you put all these packages in a rally art you might as well buy an EVO instead..

[@agsoldier]

He Needs To Button Yp His Shirt...Its Like A Big Grey Bush...

[@Rome1017Lights]

i personally think lancers without wings look ugly

[@josef959]

This is a poor man's evo, otherwise known as my evo :3

[@Vaultex2045]

I wouldn't have mine without the rear spoiler i can tell you. Tosser.

[@triton302]

Wrong, this car does 0-60 in just over 5 seconds, not 5.8. I would know, I own this car.

[@PantstofryPWNZ]

WTF? So your first car was $30,000 plus twin turbos, and you paid for that all yourself? Rrrrright....

[@sgtcojonez]

How is the review crap? Is it because he didn't go ape shit saying how much he loved the car? I mean, he pretty much said that it is an excellent drive; so I don't really get what is your issue with this review.

[@mistersmacky]

A 5 minute "car review" where the first 2 minutes is about the stereo....and he finally starts driving it at around the 4 minute mark. Don't waste your time if you are looking for a serious review.
