Performance - Acceleration is pretty good. For a 4 cylinder 2.0 engine with no upgrades, it does a decent job. It being over a 10 year old car, it can keep up with some of the newer cars, which is surprising. The brakes are fantastic. The handling is also great. It can take bends very well. I took a bend at 60 mph and barely skidded tires. Build Quality - Only thing big that it needed since I got it was a clutch($700) and new rotors/brakes($900). Other than that, this car is solid! Appearance - The interior is kinda cheap in my model. Since it is the base model, I didn't expect much. Even it being a 10 year old car, the interior is still in great shape. The exterior is starting to fade. The paint is starting to peal and have blemishes. Other than that, everything is looking good. Cost - The gas mileage is fantastic. I can run all week to work and not fill up, while my family is filling up 2-3 times. I also only put it $40, while they are putting in $70. Other than what I said up top, this car has maintained itself very well. Fun Factor - This car is a blast to drive. I have the 5 speed and I love driving it. I am not sure I could say the same about an Automatic, but I come home from school some weekends just to drive it around.

I have lowered it on Intrax spring with GR-2's, Slotted and cross drilled rotors, EBC pads, Stainless steel braided brake lines. Full cat back exhaust. Center force dual friction clutch. Other than that, the car has ran wonderfully for 168k No complaints. I do have a worry about the differential. I may have burner it out getting unstuck out of a sand trap. But that was my fault.
