The prices at the bottom are a bit harsh

Interesting review, look out for RA fakes...

I'm very bloody happy at the price I picked up mine for then!!!

The other thing to watch for is a car purporting to be a Ralliart but is actually a Lancer with a body kit and the correct decals and badges.

Again, plenty of cooking-model Lancers have been turned into Evo clones over the years and while the practice is widespread, it should also be pretty easy to spot.

Compare the Ralliart spec sheet with the car on offer and you’ll soon know whether it’s a real one or a fake.

Even a Ralliart, of course, can be the victim of the fiddlers and any car that has had its engine output boosted should be treated with extreme caution.

Some tuners can get it right, but they’re not all created equal – and any mods will naturally go stressing components that maybe weren’t engineered for such duties. Don’t buy a ticking time-bomb by accident.

Dislikes:

Some have been butchered in the name of performance.
Many have a dubious past.
10-year driveline cover doesn’t extend beyond first owner.
Will always live in the shadow of the Evo 10.
Auto transmission could be clunky around town.

Thats hilarious.... Only two VALID points are the 10-year driveline and the transmission being clunky.
