TweetAs long as your not looking for speed then that will be the right vehicle for you. If handling is your thing then this will be an excellent buy. It's not as fast as most make it out to be though. It does 0-60 in the low 7 second range and a mid 15 second 1/4 mile (varies from test to test). It would definetely lose to a Neon SRT 4, Sentra SE R Spec V, VW GTI, Subaru WRX, Nissan 350z, Mazda RX8 and the list goes on and on. Even my Silverado has faster times than it, but it would lose me in the turns as if I wasn't moving.
I guess my point to all of this is that it is a cool looking car, but for the price there are so many other options out there that would mop the floor with it. All the cars I mentioned are within the same price range or under so do some homework before you take the leap.
Hope this helps.
