Not sure if that is the new body style that year but a friend of mine purchased a new one last year for his daughter and so far its been a great car with no problems.

To me it's a FWD version of a V6 mustang.

Looks good until you really push on it.

If you're looking for a good handling FWD car, check out an integra, SE-R or a mazdaspeed protege (or an MP3 if you can find one).

One just crashed into me in my silverado. It was a hard side swipe because he was out of control. That little car bounced off of me like a ping-pong ball.
All of his air bags went off EXCEPT the drivers and he was the only passenger. BTW, I got about 2000 bucks in damage and he was totaled.

Default Bought 2004

I bought my son an Black 04 with sunroof, some very nice aftermarket rims and low profile tires. It's a 5 sped but only the 4 cyl because he wanted the gas milage. The car looks really nice and has been perfect for him. So far no problems.

Great little car, pretty reliable, fun to drive and don't look half bad. The v6's are pretty peppy. The 4 cyl one is actually a stronger motor though. There are also some good boost setups for both but inthe end the 4 cyl will actually out-perform the v6 suprisingly.
