It is fully loaded and cost about $2000.00 less than any of the others except the Neon. I have found no problems at all with this car.The paint job is flawless.

The car handled nicely. It is easy to park. It was also fun to drive. I am about 5'19' and could have used more headroom.Pros: Very comfortable seats, makes driving long distance easier.
Cons: Rear seat entry and exit is slightly difficult.
Advice: The only thing you have to worry about is choosing a color.
Very sensitive, easy to handle. Power is available when needed, but not overwhelming. Small enough to be a real compact car, but doesn't saccrifice interior comfort and space.Pros: Appearance
Cons: Should have got the power drivers seat
Advice: You cant go wrong! I would suggest the manual transmission
I traded in a 1999 mustang for my Z24 and I have to say I dont miss the Stang for a second! Even with a smaller engine, my Z24, 5 sp. has no problem with power and doesnt give me the feeling that its 'struggling' like the Ford gave me. The interior is well put together, no rattles or squeaks and I think it gives a nice ride. I average about 32 mph with a mix of in town and highway driving.
