But we still have the baby and the trunk onthe MR was not going to cut it for our family. I love this acr and even though its down in HP and TQ from its rival I feel its a winner in my book. We took it for a long ride this past weekend and had some fun at the stop lights and am really looking forward to my first track day. Its weird the way this trans is set up, The car drives great on the highway but you know right away in stop and go traffic and city driving that this is not like our Audi trans with the triptonic. The car has 2 automatic modes and the car in sport mode shift points are crazy and keeps the turbo in the sweet spot constantly. But first time out its like this trans is going to explode at these revs and the paddle shifters are quick and you can skip shift . I love my sticks shifts and there are some draw backs to this tranny, but given my current health status this car delivers a big grin ear to ear. ---

Thanks to that link would of never guessed the body structure was so much diffrent from the evo to the ralliart. I do stand by my purchase. With a family the car is very pratical and does fit the bill as a WRX competitor with better gizzmos for just a bit more money. I will say though what he did miss was the fact is the brakes are from the Mitsu outlander and are very well balanced and have good stopping power,but there no brembros. I was surprised at the diffrent rear subframe config on the two cars. I will prob mod with a tune when available since we share cars to be pratical and could not afford both and a DP with a cut out. The car is noisy enough on the highway and I would just rather have it wide open exhaust when I want to fool around. But what in the hell are the secret unlocks. Must research and find out. Has anyone else purchased this car. ---
