Hey Noodles,

I'm definitely LOVING my Lancer Sportback. Mine is the GTS model (mid-range model... boasts a bigger, naturally aspirated motor), and there's nothing I don't like about it. It's got decent gas mileage, a nice aggressive look, a clean non-rice sound for a 4-cylinder motor (you can hear it when you stomp on it), and unexpectedly great handling and pickup when you need it. It's no 10-second car, but it doesn't disappoint when trying to merge onto a busy highway.

The only thing I would recommend changing is the front tires... the lancers come with mediocre dunlop tires that are functional, but could definitely do better. I was able to get up every hill in the snow, but not as easily as it could be. They also break loose too easily in 1st gear.

Anyway, I'm rambling a bit. I've been lurking on projectlancer.net and there is a ton of information on them there.

I test drove quite a few different makes and models of cars before jumping into it, and I don't regret one bit my decision on my purchase.
