Hi guys i need advice, i just bought a 2012 lancer gt my question/s are if its a good car to start with? I know i cant turn it into evo but if its worth at least putting some money into the car. Im 20 years old about to turn 21 next month so basically this is my first car i can call my own i used to drive my moms 98 corolla LE so i can really tell the difference

Any advice is welcome from modding the car to cleaning etc...
Also i want my engine to sound louder how do i go about doing that?? Sorry dont have much experience in all that. Thank you.
