My wife had a 2-door 1998 Saturn that was getting a little hard to get in/out of (our age). She liked the sporty look and the small car feel but the small back seat of the 2-door made it difficult for her to transport her friends to the weekly domino ...

Pros: sleek styling and excellent 20 mpg
Cons: not much room for passengers in the back seats

so far i have had my lancer for about 4 months and i cant honestly say that i havent had any problems with it. It has very good pick up it saves gas and it turns corners on the drop of a dime. There are however a few things about the car that i think you should look into spending a few dollars on. In the winter time i noticed that the windshield wipers that come with the car are not very durable with the ice / snow id recommend getting them replaced. The rear breaks also have a little bit of a sqweak to them after a few months of a use i noticed that i needed to get them checked out. The sleek styling of the car makes for an excellent ride and i would recommend buying one.
