Hi all ... got the car yesterday .... and loving it! I manage a company here in Tassie, and a vehicle is supplied as part of my package ... I'm an "older" guy (50), but enjoy driving and owning a nice car.
I'll post some pics soon, it's pouring with rain down here in Tassie right now, so will wait until it fines up to take some decent pics.
Cheers ....... Dan

It doesn't seem to be too bad ... certainly no noisier than the Mazda6 MPS which had Bridgestone tires ...
Weather still crap here today, so no pics yet.
Cheers ....... Dan

sick, post pics when you get a chance! remember to go easy on her (if you can) till at least 3000KM's. break in for the Evo's are 3000Miles... but most people trash it even past 1000 miles...
get everything lubricated well till the 1st 1000KM service, then give it some occasional juice at all revs. not too much though

Hey All ...
Sorry it's taken to long to post these photos ... weather and festive season all conspired to delay my good intentions!
The Ralliart goes in for first service tomorrow (Monday 29th Dec) ... will be getting a reversing camera fitted ... and some questions regarding the MMCS and Bluetooth (Satnav voice is too quiet and I can neither be heard clearly nor hear my callers using my Samsung Blackjack phone). The only other anomoly is the satnav calculates time to destination at an average speed of 60 kmh!
The Rockford Fosgate system is great ... burned a dual layer DVD with 8.7GB of MP3's ... it reads the DVD with no problems and sounds excellent!
I also have trouble coming to grips with the positionong of the armrests and the centre console ... the console is too far back and the door armrests are too low ... guess it helps to keep your hands on the wheel!
Apart from all that, love the car ... it's heaps of fun to drive and comfortable ... albeit a little noisy on coarse surfaced roads (suspect the Advan tyres are the issue).
On with the photos .....

Looks great mate. Can they link the reverse comera to the MMCS? If so this will also be on my wish list.
Your issue with the sat nav voice - it can be altered although how is not logical. You need to press the menu button under Dest and then you can raise it or lower it between 0 and 7. Same can be done with the bluetooth but like you can never get it quite loud enough.

Yep ... the camera is linked to the MMCS ... as soon as you engage reverse, the video displays on the screen ... so much better than reverse sensors! The cost was $580 fitted
Got the volume turned up to 7 but it's sill muffled ... going in thursdaty so they can check it out.
Cheers ....... Dan
