A fun and good looking car. Just beware, if you get the V6 model, be prepared to put premium in it. Being a Japanese car, well, you know it's gonna need some good gas, even says so in the Car Manual. Other then that, get ready for crappy performance and mysterious noises from under the hood, including engine tapping. Accel- 4 out of 5 - Slow take off, hit 4,000-4,500 RPMs, it'll sit your ass flat against the seat. Braking- 3 out of 5 - Sucks, I think tey should have put bigger discs on the front and rear, but then again, that's with my style of driving. Handling- 5 out of 5 - Very smooth, quick and responsive handling. Appearance- 5 out of 5 - A very sexy looking car for the year. Actually, the model I have has everything on the outside except a spoiler. Other than paying for more expensive gas, and the cost of foreign parts when needed, its wonderful. Great gas mileage for a small V6 engine. I suggest you keep up on the maintenance and you'll have no problems. A VERY fun car to drive. Sporty looking and fast for the highway. A 2.5 Liter V6 under the hood with 167HP is a good combination for the weight of the vehicle. Very responsive handling, and a quicker car for being a family sedan, yet good on gas to boot.
