Fun - If You Get the Right One

Definitely an absolute blast to drive on a twisty road as long as it is equipped with the 5speed manual. The auto is sluggish and jerky. Looks are great, aftermarket is phenomenal. Cheap fun. Rear seats are useless, but look nice none the less. Hard to see out of rear window and over little hood hump, but boy does it look nice. Interior hugs you - like a glove. So nice. Acoustics are outstanding.

Have owned for less than a year but feel this car is the most fun I've ever had on 4 wheels. Plenty of power, very responsive and handles like a dream. Stock stereo (Infinity) is great sounding and the AWD is all it's cracked up to be.

I bought it new in 97 and 108k miles later I have had to replace the thermostat and that's it. It is just as fun to drive as the day I bought it with the superb handling and jump off the line in the lower gears. Still average around 32 miles per gallon.
