Love The "silver Rocket" — This car has great acceleration for a 4 cylinder. Gas mileage seems to be around 21 in town and 25 or so on the open roads. It's fun to drive, has never let me down in the nearly 2 1/2 years I've owned it. Transmission shifts hard into reverse every now and then, but has not failed me. I use 100% synthetic transmission and motor oil and have since I purchased it with 88,0000 miles. Only had to do normal maintenance, but had to replace the heater core shortly after I purchased it. Planning to add tinted windows in the near future. An awesome buy for $1500.

Best For And Average Citizen With A Creative Mind ... — The car is just a car, it depend on what you expectations are for me it's a good car for the money.it is really good to customize and makes a great bachlr's car, the 3.0 kicks pretty well and despite the cheap plastic consoles that breacks overtime, it's a cheap easy to drive and resurcefull little car, I call it mighty "G" :-)

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Galant...mommy's Big Red Car — hoping i am not going to jinx myself...my car has been super reliable and is holding up really well in the ohio seasons. Its a comfortable and roomy red four door that can fit a childs wagon in the trunk.

U Betta Recognize — i love my car because it handles very well. the acceleration isnt very good but from 30 to 60 mph it is pretty good. it has needed prepairs once cause i rear ended someone but other than that it has been very reliable. this car cost me 5,000 dollars which i think is pretty good. it has 103,000 miles on it but it hasnt had any engine problems. i think this car is very fun to drive and u will find me happiest cruisin down the highway with the music cranked!!

Great Car! — Great car, I would buy a V6 next time. We have traveled to south without any problems. We can get in it and ride at any time. The base model is just that, base. We added a few options to ours, but overall..great ride.

It's mine, and it's red.

If you're looking for a hot shot car, this isn't it.

She's My Little Red Car. I Love Her. — My acceleration is alright. It's good compared to some cars, but it's not great. When it starts, it sounds like a Matchbox car would sound if it started. The brakes squeak, and the back doors are heavy and tough to close. But the exterior looks brand new, and the interior does as well. It wasn't too expensive, and I needed something to get me to college and work. Despite her flaws, I love her.
