[@UltraHossBoss]

I love how every video review of the Ralliart, the reviewer says "I'm not gonna compare this to the Evo" and then continuously does it haha! It's great!

[@Mr.M1STER]

Do the brakes work? Well yes.....

[@Kaijiro____93]

Evo X GSR vs Evo X MR would be a better comparison to WRX vs WRX STI, Auto vs Manual transmission. I would classify Ralliart a baby version of the Evo X rather than comparing to a WRX alone

[@MrGovenator1]

In my opinion its not quite what the WRX is to the STI when being compared to a Evo, but its defiantly a cool alternative. As some one once told me "The WRX can hold its own when being compared to the STI, but the Lancer Ralliart is more of a warm Lancer." Not trying to be a Subaru fanboy here, I actually considered a Ralliart for quite some time. I just didn't see to many positive things said about it. It really does have that look people look for in the Evo, so its got that going for it.

[@MrGovenator1]

bubbinator88 Well... It has been on the market forever now.

[@joelor7810]

MrGovenator1 i always thought of the wrx to the gsr and the sti to the mr. i really like the ralliart but i wished it had a manual option.

[@MrGovenator1]

Joe Lor The GSR and MR are both Evolution trims though. The WRX is its own trim.

[@AlDim000]

Joe Lor The only big performance difference between a GSR and an MR is the 5-speed manual on the GSR vs 6-speed TC-SST on the MR. While its engine performance is decent, WRX is missing all the essential performance parts on the STI - diffs, big brakes, suspension, so your comparison is really far off. On the other hand the Ralliart is also down on brakes and suspension compared to the Evo, but it does have a near identical drivetrain with front and rear diffs, same TC-SST as the MR, and same engine with different turbo system.

[@joelor7810]

AlDim000 MrGovenator1 bubbinator88 Sorry about my comment. I was just saying it as my own opinion. But yes the difference between the gsr and wrx is huge.

[@giantranga414]

thanks for the review mclovin

[@charlesbettis2102]

You were not doing his SST any justice being in just Sport mode and hammering it. If the owner flashed S-Sport into it, you would feel an even better response. These cars have so much potential and are often under estimated. While its no EVO, it can be a contender if built right.

[@kissmeblindful]

You just got yourself a new subber! =) Found out about you through Evan's videos. I've only seen a couple of yours but I like it so far. I had a Lancer, then upgraded to the Ralliart, and now have the Evo. I loved my Ralliart, but it's definitely not an Evo like you said. Lol still a beast though. I ended up going with the Evo MR.. same trans as the Ralliart. ^_^ anyway!!! Keep the videos coming! I've got a lot of catching up to do! =)

[@granddaddyHerps]

you dont seem to amused driving this. i feel like you are saying nice things cuz dude is sitting next to you.

[@granddaddyHerps]

Scott Brixey it was an opinion based off visual observation. not once did i say this car was slow or slower than his brz. im sure its a great car but you can clearly see on his first pull he wasn't too thrilled. watch the review of the wrx hatch or the supercharged brz. TJ nearly creams his pants. you will then understand my logic. fuckin hater, maybe next time you wont be such an asshole when the internet voices an opinion you don't quite understand.

[@scottbrixey6284]

granddaddyHerps lol well the thing about those two cars, first, they are both manual, secondly, they are both pushing at least 75 more hp? which makes a huge difference lol. I have watched both reviews.

[@scottbrixey6284]

granddaddyHerps maybe he wasn't as amused because he's used to that kind of power from his brz? I'm not saying you're wrong in your observation, while I agree, you're hinting at the fact that the car was slow and that he didn't like the car, which defiantly wasn't the case...

[@DazdnCofuzd]

granddaddyHerps He might be a little bias towards to brz as he has one, plus the wrx has more power anyways than the RA. He needs to drive more than 20min's to really have an idea of the car, he was a tad off on power numbers. He needed to put it in Sport Mode/Auto from a dead stop and see how he likes it then. Plus the reason he really didn't hear the turbo spool is two reasons, it's a small turbo, and he had it in Sport Mode and the engine drone is pretty loud.

[@mowcee1]

I gave the Ralliart a try, test drove it... and for it being about 10k less than an Evo X... thats not too bad. Down the line, you can always put $$ into it to make it just as fast as an Evo X (stock). I guess it all depends on preference... The Evo X is far superior when it comes to the complete package right from the dealer, and your paying $10k more for it. I enjoyed the test drive, it was very comfortable, a nice daily... and the twin clutch transmission is the same as what's in the MR i believe...

[@ogpurp6198]

found a ralliart for $20,000 at a local car dealer but I'll low ball them since car been sitting there for a while

[@Mykok810]

the one im looking at has the rockford sound system with the recaro seats. Now this is where im unsure, can you get those as an option or do they only come on the sport package? i only ask because the description they have doesn't mention the projectors.

isnt the only real difference between this and the evo is basically the ralliart has a smaller turbo? i think swap out the turbo, and exhaust from the evo, and u basically have a tamer looking evo.

[@tristiansavoye6979]

I think the suspension is different and the seats too but yeah. I am considering to get a ralliart tho

[@audilicous]

NO. Quite a few differences. The Ralliart is the lancer body, suspension, etc. with the engine and drivetrain from the Evo MR. It has a different turbo, different header, and a few other things. I have a 2010 GTS and a 2014 Ralliart and I love them both.

[@letsroll2463]

dont see why Mitsubishi focused only on the lancers instead of the eclipse or GTO, putting all their eggs in one basket was a huge failure on their part.

[@digitalsaint2040]

I never understood why ralliart is not more badged on the Evolution. since its kinda strange all the technologies are from ralliart international. I don't get the connection for the name Evolution since it not always used in the Ralliart's race cars. IMHO the evolution starts with the lancer and ends with the ralliart...since its the name of the source rally car homologation. not to mention the name of said R&D. I have googled and looked though translated sites and can find nothing that explains the name evolution's roots. it boils down to this word. Ransâeboryúshon (ランサーエボリューション) which was a prototype name for a car Mitsubishi used many times, and once in the movie FF Tokyo drift car. I cant find out why or where the evolution name came from.

I dont understand why Ralliart is not popular like WRX, still they are in same class so you have Lancer Ralliart vs Impeza WRX and you have Lancer EVOLUTION vs Impreza WRX STI ! Still WRX is more popular then Ralliart but why?

[@xankriegor3018]

Milos M Power Because the Ralliart doesn't come with a MT, is slower (0-60=5.5 vs 4.8 and 1/4 mile=14.3 vs 13.8), gets worse MPG (25 vs 28) and doesn't hold it's value as well. (info taken from caranddriver.com)

Manual Transmission.

decent review man..thanks I was interested in the Lancer and Impreza when i was looking for a new car I test drove WRX and then went to Mitsubishi to test drive this. After I was done I sped back to Subaru to finalize paperwork on my 2013-14 WRX last gen model.( i hate the look and feel of the 2015 model and its whiny 2.0l dit engine. Dont get me wrong the interior is way nicer and its built better but its fugly looks turned me away also any vehicle with a new engine model i will stay clear of for a few yrs until proven reliable. Anyway. The last gen WRX just feels plain stronger and more aggresive than the Ralliart's Also the seat destroy the raliarts in comfort and bolstering. . Still, the Ralliart is not bad at all, I just felt the WRX edged it out in most categories so i got it $26k out the door for an outgoing model is not bad at all either =)
