Its my first car and i love it. It is a quality car that has not broken down on me yet, and it probably wont any time soon. It is a four cylinder manual with twin overhead cams and just short of a vtech motor. :) Awsome to drive.

Pros: Good Gas Milage
Cons: Its small and low to the ground, if you dont like that...tho i do

this car was really cool, i got it with an exhaust system on it, a superchip, new headers, and it had lowered suspension which is a good and a bad thing... Oh and it was a stick shift so whenever i felt like being liberal with the throttle i could burn the tires as long as i wanted:D i ended up putting 2 1000 watt speakers in the back but i never bought an amplifier so it didnt sound much better but thats ok because the stock sound on the radio was actually pretty good:D

Pros: fast, good lookin, good radio
Cons: bumpy for long car trips because of the lowered suspension

Dad bought it for me for 1000 dollars being all cheap... motor blew so he took a loan out and put a h23 vtec from the SiR wagon in Japan. It pushes about 220 hp and 190 tq, but becuase of swap issues I am having to get money for fixes. It has been lowered 2 or so inches with skunk 2 spings sitting on Kyb struts. I'm rolling on 17 inch ICW Fusion rims wrapeed in 205*40/17 Kumho tires. Obx header and test pipe, ebay cat, autozone carbon fiber mufferler... haha s

Pros: H23 Vtec... It will be fast when i get issues worked out
Cons: Fiberglass fenders... having to fix the riduculous mods the previous owner did
