Performance for the money
Overt exterior styling
Sharp, communicative steering
Reasonably roomy backseat
Dislikes
Lots of road noise inside
On-a-budget interior feel
Hesitation from dual-clutch gearbox in gentle driving
The 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart is a well-honed sporty sedan with a tuner-car look and feel--and an appearance that closely resembles that of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, which has been benched for the 2009 model year. The Ralliart is based heavily on the sportier GTS version of the economical Mitsubishi Lancer sedan, which is covered by a different review. While the Evolution made its debut last year, the Ralliart is new this year, and it lands between the sportiest standard Lancer sedan, the GTS, and the high-performance Evo in demeanor.
