Slow as piss. Motor has decent longevity.

If your gonna buy a Mitsubishi, you buy a GSX/GS-T/3000GT... not one of those. wink1.gif The fit and finish on all their cars from that era is average, you buy them to mod the shit out of them and go fast.

This should deter you from it:

It has the Neon DOHC 420A motor in it. Yes, from a Dodge Neon. Don't get me wrong, but if you want to go 4G63T, you gotta do some cutting & welding.

Dude I'm not saying this just to talk smack, but those cars are slow as sh!t. I've driver a few and it just made me want my tib so bad (and that's when the tib was still stock!). You going to have to sink alot of $$ to get it "up to speed".
