New RA Owner in Ohio
Hello all.
I just picked up a 2010 Ralliart Sportsback in Octane Blue late last week, so I thought i would introduce myself. My name is Bryson and i have moved back to ohio after spending the past 5 and half year doing my undergrad and masters in Aquatic ecology and conservation (marine biology) in Wales. After 8 years or driving (or not driving) my 2002 Mazda Miata and only putting 26,000 miles on it for a total of 34,000 miles, I figured i would upgrade into something that can hold more then just two humans.
I am loving it so far! Way more comfortable and way more fun to drive daily. The car came with front and rear rally armor flap on the front and rear, as well as a horribly butchered front bumper from mounting the licence plate in two separate places (already have plans to sort that out).
See you round!

Welcome, and Yeah if I wasn't so worried about weight and gas mileage, I would have grabbed the wagon as well... we get a lot of front plate issues with the intercooler setups we have, bummer on that part..

Welcome, post some pix when you can.
And rallinurse, the SBs were always a bit rare, I almost got one but was worried about the extra weight and loss of gas mileage.. Otherwise i always like having a wagon over sedan.. Just not with a gas guzzling turbo such as mine..
