The car is simple, not terribly much to look at inside and sportyish styling out, however my 19" wheels, low profile tires, and bright red finish also added to the sportyness. The car is great for the money, it handles exceptionally well with the OZ package and the 19' Kazera wheels make it a beast on on-ramps. The ride is stiff and somewhat harsh with the low profile Yokohamas but that makes the car handle much better. The manual transmission is slick and the steering is responsive. The Interior is rather conservative, however i was impressed to see a padded dashboard top.  The engine is adequate though it seems to run out of steam at the higher RPM. Overall a great find and great fun.

For the price, at the time it was well equiped and cheap.  Good reliable car with no problems and has power everything.  Downside is not even a month after buying it, the 2008 Lancer models were available and those are a much better deal.  Way more options and standard features, overall look is nicer and more agressive, bigger, better fuel economy, bigger engine...overall the 2008's are better.  Don't buy a pre 2008 lancer....
