Ralli!: 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart

www.edmunds.com When you line up the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart next to its street-bred competitors, it might seem slow and expensive. But that’s how a bean counter would make his purchase decision. A guy like that draws a line (with a straightedge) down the center of a sheet of graph paper to put pluses on one side and minuses on the other. He’d never be able to get his pointy head around the visceral experience the rally-inspired Ralliart supplies. But he might just have another point to make here. As they now exist, a front-wheel-drive Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with its naturally aspirated 168-horsepower engine is priced at 665, while the twin-scroll turbocharged 291-hp all-wheel-drive Evolution GSR starts at 665. If we were to follow the accountant’s rigid method of finding the average of these two cars, it’d be a three-wheel-drive Lancer with a single-scroll turbo making 229 hp and costing 165. And if we would add the 00 price of the Evo mr’s state-of-the-art dual-clutch six-speed transmission with its shift paddles on the steering wheel, our dream car’s price would rise to 665. And wouldn’t you know it? That’s almost exactly the price of the 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart. As a bonus, it has four-wheel drive (not three) and 237 hp at no extra cost.

Street Fight: WRX v Lancer Ralliart v Mazdaspeed 3

CHECK OUT THE SPORT COMPACT COMPARISON: www.edmunds.com Thanks to three turbochargers, 724 horsepower and five limited-slip differentials, comparing the 2008 Mazdaspeed 3, 2008 Subaru Impreza WRX and 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart should be more entertaining than a cage match between Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and New Kids on the Block. Imagine the fun! Donny and Danny hangin’ tough from the walls of the cage while Joey, Jordan and Jonathan get tossed into the crowd. The way we see it, our Rampage vs. New Kids bout is no different from pitting the Mazdaspeed 3 — the current champ of the sport compact world — against the Lancer Ralliart and Subaru WRX. On the track, an epic ass-kicking is bound to ensue. But comparison tests aren’t always won on the track. Since these cars all share a focus on real-world driving for enthusiasts, we weighted performance as 25 percent of this test’s scoring total, leaving the remaining points to price (20 percent), feature content (20 percent), fuel economy (15 percent), our subjective evaluation (15 percent) and personal and recommended picks (5 percent). So performance is important, but in the end, the most well-rounded car wins.
