We had a xA come out a while ago, he did pretty well in a bone stock one. The shock travel over bumps on our huge x-overs were redicolously long travel though. He even did a lap day too, and that was fun to see. I have a soft spot for these little cars, and if i wasn't racing my wrx all the time, would give the yaris a shot for a full season.

i'll tell you, after driving both an STI and my xA, i still like autocrossing my xA more.. sure, the STI (cobb stage2, APS catback, 275 tires on 17X10 CCW's, KW coilovers) is a rocket.. but the feeling of control isn't nearly as "direct" in the STI.. fun to get the tail out and stomp the pedal in the STI but not so fun in the slaloms where it feels unsettled.

i will definitely not be running the RS2's for autoX very long.. i have two full sets of tires i'll need to purchase, after the sting of the AEM FIC purchase wears away.
