Michael if you think the standard Lancer handles well you should feel how one handles with a few mods like thicker sway bars, lowered and braces.

Honestly.....my wipers are on manual....my lights are on manual and the auto climate im sure is just a temp sticker over the hot/cold one,,,the auto stuff novelty wears off pretty damn quick....the auto wipers is annoying actually....they come on for no reason...but its a shock sensor not water afterall...and anoying thing when i bought my ralliart is i wanted leather and sunroof and the only way to get leather was to get all the audio stuff and a 2 mth wait and still no sunroof.But i bought it for Performance,AWD and its gearbox and I absolutely love it. The gizmos do wear off....would actually rather a six stacker over my MMCS

Also the sx its missing small things like [s:9696664086]map readers at the front[/s:9696664086], fog lights, stereo tweeters, more chrome, side skirts (I could be wrong so please correct me if so) Personally the automatic lights and wipers are one of the favourite things about the car for me, it makes me feel like Im driving a more advance car, and its extremely convenient for me. I cant say much for the climate control as we havent really hit summer yet (bought my second hand so its a little bit of a different situation). You can also get the rockford system is an optional extra on the vr and not on the sx. When it comes down to it, it is how deep your pockets are.
I dont have maplights Might be the 2011 up that have them

I have a lot of hairy corners here to worry about and the standard SX corners like it's on rails. It's one of the best we've ever had where handling is concerned (we've leased 24 new cars in 24 years so it's not like I've only ever driven a few cars in my lifetime).
