I love the fact is has bluetooth and can pair multiple phones to be saved, the sound system like the bass is nice but it seems quiet like I turn it up to 20 and barely hear it qnd only goes up to 45 but you can feel the bass, the car handles extremely well I got it for the All wheel drive which can be used in the winter months if needed, the seat warmers is a nice touch as well, its low to the ground but not stupid low, the power this thing has is awesome it can get up and go if needed, it is kinda loud in the cab because of it but not unbearable I would definetely recommend this car to anyone looking for a good gas saver and stylish.Jun 06, 2022

My Ralliart is the perfect combination of style performance and comfort! It's great for all driving conditions from long road trips to snow conditions to everyday driving. My wife and I always get compliments on its sharp sporty muted appearance! This my second ralliart and I am still having so much fun driving it!Jan 20, 2013
