I test drove it and thought it was awesome esp for the bucks but that being said, with the most recent Rexxy pumping out decent power I'd go with that option as it's got a better value proposition before you need to resort to DIY/modding. However since you don't really want a manual, the Ralliart is probably the best choice. Save some $$ for better wheels/tyres, maybe stiffen the suspension, and then do the power stuff. Power isn't really an issue unless you're trying to gun it or are used to hipo machines- but based on everything you've said, I don't think it's your number one concern since you seem to want handling/AWD more.

yeah, suspension is a must imo, especially when a good tuner adds on 30% more KWATW and u hit the twisties. and in the RA your going to want to hit the twisties, its fun to drive.

so thats the first mod.

whiteline HD swaybars $700 fitted
king springs $350 diy
tight as a tourniquet :)

also viktor we are serious about going to see Nick at preston motors, he WILL look after u if your a member.

Nice, you'll enjoy it, especially if you get the sportback - practical and power ;) first mods would need to be new tires, springs, exhaust and tune
we are fascinated by that which can destroy us...

Looks like I'm basically sold the Ralliart, Nick, I've seem the blue PMR Ralliart that was for sell few months ago, looks good. Now, do a couple more Subaru runs and it's for sell. You guys sure know how to tempted a reformed modder back to the darkside ;)

Having tested the RA a few weeks ago, I have to say it was really stunning. The acceleration was mind-boggling even in stock form. It will leave everything for dead bar the XR6 Turbo and the like, but having read how much tuning potential it has for just a few more K, even those cars can be taken cared of.

The SST seems to be friendly at city driving as well. It shifts really quickly in normal mode and I didn't find it jerky unlike what other reviews said. It may not be ultimately as smooth as a real automatic, but how it teams up with the engine when needed is just world-class.

Ride isn't much firmer compared to normal Lancers, so it's still bearable in spite of Melbourne's road conditions.

The only downsides, as in all Lancers in the range, are the usual acres of plastic inside and the lack of telescopic steering. The boot has also shrunk to cater to the 4WD system. There's likewise the issue of some warning signs coming on if you're running with the space saver spare. Putting a full size wheel may practically leave you with no more trunk space. I do find it ridiculous to fit a performance car with an extra tyre that's a lot narrower and shorter in diameter.

But in the end, all the positives far outweigh the negatives. If you don't mind such problems, then go ahead and fork out the money for it.
