2011 STI sedan vs. Lancer Ralliart vs. GC

[yuichi]

Available yang 3 sa mga dealers. Ibang models like EvoX available din both sa casa at gray market, mas mura pero alang warranty. Kung magmomodify ka lang din naman maybe warranty is not an issue.

Hi Kian2X,

We are of the same age and if you may i will share to you my 5-cent opinion:

My friend has an old 323i BMW that he sold to buy the Subaru STi (2.6Million). This guy is well verse on car's acceleration, speed, etc and when he had test drive a Subaru STi di na sya nagdadalawang isip to sell his BMW. So i guess you have to seat on an STI to fell what he fells - sabi nga din ng iba dito.

For me too i like the Subaru STi more than the Evo. Although if you watch Top Gear, Evo wins on performance but STi for the looks and for daily driving. Mas matagtag ang Evo for daily driving compared sa STi. At mas powerful ang hatak ng Sti compared sa Evo when at low speed. This is carried out on WRX and Ralliart variant also. Furthermore Evo design is bad halos walang kaibahan sa normal na Lancer (dapat lang medyo iba kasi Evo nga eh). Parang compare BMW 3series to an M3 makita mo talaga ang difference.

So clearly my choice is Subaru STi (2.6M).

But if budget is not an issue i'll buy an M3 (8Million) or BMW135i (5Million). For the looks i'll buy Porsche 911. Sorry OT.

+1. Dali gayahin ng mga bodykit makers diyan. Lancer EX to EVO X transformation.

Though sa exterior lang naman. Sa engine, di kaya gayahin yan. hahaha

yup it is available, STi A-line ang tawag nila don. i think it will only be limited kaya order na habang available pa. but feedback from other people, medyo mas mabagal daw ang a-line compared to the manual STi.

[renzo_d10]

If I were to buy an STi, Id pick the manual ... ;)

not sure kung nasa website ng MI, i haven't checked MI's website for a while now. i think same specs, the differenece lang is the A-line doesn't react as fast as the STi manual para bang may delay ang reaction.

The TS is comparing not the Evo version but, rather, it's younger brother -- the Ralliart. IMO, Mitsu's pricing on the Evo is very very weird indeed. They're practically aiming at the Evo-fanboy niche.

Although +1 ako sa mabilis lang gayahin look ng Evo. More-so for the Ralliart. Pero yun talaga masasabi natin is.. walang gaya gaya sa engine at transmission

But there's also the Impreza 2.0 into STi look either.. so I won't discredit points for the Evo on that. It's rarer to see them compared to fake Evos, but it's pretty doable. Especially the hood scoop (pinakamabilis ata gayahin) followed by the exhausts and springs.

The fact still remains that you can ask here in Tsikot. But the best decision to be made is out in the field... drive them all off for a test run.

OT: Teka, magkano na ba yun EX to Evo look na yan? Natandaan ko tuloy curiousity ko yun may nakita akong EX sa MoA dati... akala ko at least Ralliart. Not bad pa: hood scoop, black yun grill, name plate nasa right.. problema lang.. di pa ata nakakabili ng new set of wheels. Ever seen an EvoX or a Ralliart sporting stock 16"?

[renzo_d10]

That's the most stupid thing I saw on an EX.

Plates on the side.

I think just drop by MI at as long as the testdrive unit is available, you can drive it.

Also test the 2010 Legacy GT. It is the best of both worlds, luxury,comfort and power (265hp) tunable like the WRX and STI. 330-350 hp is within reach with remap and TBE. Many say that it runs like a WRX or say Ralliart, but very comfy and cheaper (P2.05M). Check it out! It might be the one for you.. If I am to buy another Subaru, it will be this car.

Or another option would be Honda S2000, yung AP2 para medyo sariwa pa.
