2.4L Manual gear box and im sure you'll be very happy. The Lancer is the prettiest car BY FAR :)


This man said it. 2.4L coupled with a manual is the best combo for the base lancer.  I'll go against RX-8's in my city , their to scared to push those little rotaries to hard anyway.

^^^^This  :D i looooveee my 2.4l manual, it defends its self really well on the street and kills on the corners.

the new Scion tc pushing 180hp...ive always had a soft spot for them, and it was this or the lancer for me, but if you think the lancer interior is cheap(to me its far from cheap) then you will vomit at the Tc's interior.....

As far as Mazdas go, my sister has an 06 2.0 mazda auto, we havent had any problems with it, bulletproof so far.

Honestly I might save up a little, and wait for the new scion to come out.  It's RWD and should be in about the same price range (slightly higher, but not as much as a ralliart), but it looks like a fun car to drive, and the aftermarket world is just waiting to get their hands on it because it's being overengineered to handle turbo kits and extra torque from other modifications.  It should be a lot lighter than any of the cars you mentioned and a blast to drive.  If you test drive it and decide it's not for you, or if the final product is not your flavor then you'll have the extra money to get a ralliart, or mazdaspeed... Or you could just put a lot down on an even cheaper GTS... Mazda 3 is a chick car, and the new cheeser smiley face ones are just bad.
