Fun for your money
 First, this car was quite inexpensive.  A great value, but lacking in some areas.  I don't think it compares to luxury sport vehicles, but it finds its way to the top of the pack for vehicles under $17k.  The 2.5L motor is so torquey you can pull with most v6's off the line (however it's not so tough on the highway).  Handling is for tuned for driving fanatics, with excellent response and minimal roll, but the 17 in. wheels and hardened bushings relay every bump on longer drives.  Adequate interior - love the seats, but the plastics scratch up quite easily.  Exterior was "updated" for '04 to match the base model... Now there's no escaping the ugly "bucktooth"!
