If someone had a gun to my head and I had to choose I would get the 250t RS FOUR V HICAS with black leather & sunroofs in Dark blue pearl <BW6>

The one with the different ride height is the AR-X which is a "All road X(cross) over vehicle" (like a outback is to a liberty)

it is 35mm longer, 30mm wider & 40mm higher than the rest of them..

it has 40mm more clearance than standard. advantages? meh

There are differences in dimensions as mention the biggest difference being the clearance, 180mm v non ARX models being 140mm.

The biggest difference is not in the dimensions of the car but in the other benifits; ARX has standard;

• Limited slip rear diff
  
• HICAS
  
• Leather interior
  
• Electric seats
  
• Heated front seats
  
• 18 inch wheels
  

All the above are standard.

I don't think the handeling is any better on the ARX model and infact most people have found it too soft. A few people now have fitted the Bilstein shocks and springs which lowers the car around 40mm and reduces body roll significantly.

Stiffer sway bars are also a great benifit in reducing body roll on this car.

Hope this helps.
