Used 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Consumer Reviews
A Phenominal Value for the $ (tempered)
This is an amazing car for what it is. Value and character. For one of the few AWD cars on the market with a straight 4 and the turbo provides amazing power from 20-120+mph and is a dead accurate vehicle. Shifts are precise, engine is solid, turbo is ample. Just a true joy to drive when you are in the mood. However, it's not a great highway cruiser or Sunday driver, it's a harsh and loud ride with little insulation and driver amenities. I use this car for a 65 mile commute daily (round trip) and it has its downfalls. Noise, moderate fuel mileage, VERY SMALL GAS TANK and loud overall with performance tires. But it is what it is: performance car with power to spare & character to match!
miss the 09' Ralliart
i got the 09' Ralliart new after 03' Evo VIII needed an engine & stuff. decided to just switch up. very fun for a "budget Evo" type thing I'm glad Mitsu made. I wish they still made them especially since they dropped the Evo, at least keep the Ralliart turbo lancer, & add a stick option gosh! anyways I wish could have kept it. payments were high even tho I got a demo heavily discounted. but neg equity from trade in didn't help, & work situation changed. I'm open to getting a Lancer GTS,ES or another Ralliart if could find it. & they are much cheaper used now. The Evo nostalgia puts all of their used car prices in ridiculous territory for the age & mechanical wear. sub-10k for these other trims is reasonable, likely gonna throw it away in 5-10yrs anyway.
