My second car was a 1998 Mitsubishi Galant ES, which I loved, but I had to part with it because it had 75,000 miles and I didn't feel like dropping any more money into it. I didn't have a warranty, so everything was out of pocket. I have since bought a 2003 Lancer ES, which I have had for a year, and I bought it because I planned on modifying it when school was over. Since I am in Auto School, I don't care about the warranty and all, I plan on doing all the work when I graduate anyway. The car cost me $11,500 with 5000 miles. I have never been happier about a car. I just wish it a) had more stock power, B) had a better stock sound system, and c) had a bigger gas tank. My Galant had a 17 gallon, and going to a 13 gallon sucked.
Ok, now that it's been well over a year since I've said that, let me gripe about the car.
It's SLOW. That doesn't bother me. The suspension from stock SUCKED. Fixed. Car was too quiet. Fixed. Stock 14" steel wheels were ugly. Fixed. Car is an automatic. Stopped modifying car and will get rid of when the timing is right.
