A nice alternative to the all too common civic or corolla. I would describe the acceleration as adequate (hence 3 stars for performance). Handling has a definite sporty feel. Understeers quite predictably. Easy to drive at the limit. Smooth clutch operation, but shifter lacks the precision of a Honda’s. It shifts smoothly, but just not perfectly. Nice brake feel, easy to modulate. ABS really not necessary since the brakes have a very direct feel. So, this is a fun little car! Great mileage- 30+ on the highway. Just as with other small sedans, cost of ownership is very low. This is a practical, everyday car that has a bit of a sports car feel. If you are in the market for a civic, corolla, etc- don't forget to check out the lancer.

good handling car, doesn't go fast, doesn't look very good, has good gas mileage. Can beat any car with a V8 or lower, in any race with turns

Engine not powerful enough for my taste. Good economy car though.

Great car, Love it! I have only owned it for a short while but its great! I can't wait to put custom parts into it. and yes my car is a manual...no other way to go then a manual. Bought my car used with 38,000 miles on it. I absolutely love speeding in this car and its easy to do so! lol Its a quick little car and will be quicker when I get done with it....
