Acceleration is horrible but it does the job. Test out the brakes on a track and they'll fail quickly. Build quality is good but still plastic. After 6 years there's lots of rattles. It can look fantastic if you look after it and are tactful with any options. Its great on fuel if you know how to drive and after 120,000 km it still feels like new. Revs out very nicely and still can put a smile on your face.

This car is definately a value car. It has descent performance, descent room in the front (the back is a different story) I'm 6' 1" and can comfortably drive this car. Build quality is alright. It is not the most solid feeling car out there but it requires little maintanence (clutch has 185,000 miles on it and doesn't need replaced yet)

Performance: its pretty quick right off the line. I just bought it less than a week ago and am waiting to register it so i haven't touched 5th gear yet. I wish it was a little quicker, that way reviews could stop saying it cant compete with leaders in its class(Jetta and Golf) but i bought this at a fraction of one of those. Quality: Fairly well build. Everything is smooth looking.. Definately fun to drive. I bought the 5 speed with a sun roof and its perfect. Like i said, i wish it could blow the doors off the VW's but eventually ill get it there.

this car has great acceleration but lacks on top speed. The braking and handling are amazing. this car is well bulit and functions great. needs very little repairs. the outside looks good and so dose the inside but i dont like the upholstery. this car gets about 30 mpg. this car is very fun to drive on back roads and at stop lights. if u get it. this car is mildly modified though it has a full 4-2-1 2.5" racing exhaust, weapon-r intake, adjustable fuel press reg., high press vacuum hoses. and 2x12 w0 jl with a 250 watt amp. soon the entire outside will be fully redone. also stage 2 cam and cam gear and a reprogrammed ecu.
