Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear November 14, 2009 Share November 14, 2009 special pre-launch price was at $119,988...now since it's launched, i can't confirm the pricing... that said, at such prices, you could get a EVO X RS (stripped bare version of the EVO) from PI... liddat competing with STI A-Line leh...

Picanto 3rd Gear November 14, 2009 Author Share November 14, 2009 the WRX Sti is a better buy at this type of pricing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xspace 1st Gear November 14, 2009 Share November 14, 2009 the WRX Sti is a better buy at this type of pricing. Looks wise, EX still wins against the current Rex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear November 14, 2009 Share November 14, 2009 but i called up the salesman from Subaru he say STI A-Line only 265bhp, same as Legacy 2.5GT... JDM units put 300bhp leh...he say Japan has 105Octane petrol...singapore only max 98Oct so performance will be affected...but so badly meh?? that's a lost of 35 horses leh...??? but Impreza really cramp...rear legroom is useless, boot space for the hatch is almost non-existent... i think if really only have 265bhp, might as well get the Legacy GT wagon??

Sky_vinz Clutched May 30, 2010 Share May 30, 2010 So.. Anyone interested in getting one of these, now that they're already here? Good for people like me who cant afford an Evo yet. Anyone knows its current price? Worth the money? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky_vinz Clutched May 30, 2010 Share May 30, 2010 Zangetsu77: And the Type R used to be only $108,000.. Too late for regrets now. Haha! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesgetz 4th Gear May 30, 2010 Share May 30, 2010 sorry to be a wet blanket but my advice is to save for the real thing ie. Evo. the lancer ralliart neither here nor there. if you get this, my suspicion is you will mod it to make it like an Evo. u can tune it up, install brembos, Evo bodykit/spoiler, Evo rims but there are still some electronic suspension gadgetry which I don't think you can do up. and if you do it all up, it will cost more than an Evo. end of the day, it's still not an Evo and you will feel like a small bro to other Evo owners. hope u don't take it the wrong way. coming from someone who used to own a WRX and aspired to make it run faster than a STi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesgetz 4th Gear May 30, 2010 Share May 30, 2010 this car is not targeted at the evo crowd in the 1st place. but the people who would buy this car are also those aspire to get the evo... the thread starter is one of them as stated in one of his earlier posts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zangetsu77 Clutched May 30, 2010 Share May 30, 2010 Zangetsu77: And the Type R used to be only $108,000.. Too late for regrets now. Haha! Haha, no regrets bro. I got the SST when it first launched in 2008, literally S$30K cheaper back then when it was very hard to tune and hence much less popular, PI could bring in at S$130+K in 2008. Nevertheless detractors proven wrong as SSTs getting more and more aggressively tuned. Why i bring up the CTR is bcos when my SST was stock, used to find the CTR a formidable challenge, esp. the tuned ones, can be really hard to shrug off on an SST. Only after stage II tune did the Evo become significantly faster and more nimble. I suspect the CTR throttle response must be very good, unlike the Evos (and hence the Lancer Ralliart) which has substantial e-throttle lag. This is not 100% correctable even with tuning somehow.

This is not 100% correctable even with tuning somehow. hmm, i thought with tuning or using devices like the pivot e-drive can help reduced the lag as the throttle can be opened faster and with lesser on the pedal depress? or is it that it is still incomparable with throttle controlled by cable?

Nope, somehow it feels like there's still a fraction of a second delay from flooring the throttle to the first revs. For GTR/Mercs i don't get that. Then factor in some turbo lag and you will be left feeling vulnerable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourth 2nd Gear May 30, 2010 Share May 30, 2010 What is the ralliart noise level? Closer to Evo or GL? If it is quieter, noisy only when driven aggressively, then there may be market for people who likes car that is reasonably fast yet quiet. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
