Hmm, the US Lancer isnt anything more than a sedan with a bad crash rating in a already flooded sedan car market. If I was looking for a good sedan for the daily drive I would rather get an Accord. IMHO, they actually look nice, have a v6, and Honda makes some long *** lasting products.

Well. Several of you are off base. The OZ rally has a different suspension than the ES and LS. It does have a standard rear sway bar and don't forget upgraded rally wheels. That being said, it will go off road. Look at RMR taking 1st place with 2 races left, they've got 25 more horses in tha car than standard, but a **** load of suspension, body welds, interior treatment. The OZ will hold up quite well in auto-x and rally-cross, I would actually like to see something better than it for the price.
Got mine cause of financing.

Well for the price, I could always go used, get an old *** Audi or somthing. If I was going to rally Id rather get a used any way, sort of follow the SCC way with 510 Rally Beater or somthing like that. For sedan/daily driver purposes Id also rather get a used Accord, Hondas last forever, and the newer models have a v6. From a performance standpoint, 1320 or circut, a better buy would be another used, perferably RWD or AWD, car, import or domestic. Frankly, IMHO, I dont think US Lancers are that great

refering to the original question I'm gonna have to say Rally. If it was a hatchback or a coupe I would say rice but its a sedan...IMO sedans dont look good when they have been "riced." Theres my 2 cents anyways.

sorry, yes I know it's not the ****, but I wasn't thinking used cars, I meant in the current class of new model cars, what would be better than it at or below the cost??

I'm going to have to agree with Pimpson on this one, you got a heck of a car for less than $17000. Sure it's slow out of the box, but that's the fun in modding a car. I love mine.

1. Rodney King deserved to have his *** beat for driving drunk and being grown in a Hyundai.

Slow????? 2.0l 120hp? Ok not that great, but with mine being a MT OZ I would have to say it has pretty good pick up. I only have 600 miles on my car, so I havent really pushed it yet, but I am happy so far.
