it's the same car as the mitsu eclipse/plymouth laser. if it's a tsi (turbo model) it has the 4g63, which is a great engine to mod. the tsi comes in fwd and awd. hmm what else... the transmissions take a crap often on modded dsm's. if you do the mods yourself, you will probably become a half decent mechanic with ur car. all around great car and cheap to go fast. if it's not a turbo, it's not worth the buy. that is unless you dont care for speed and just want a stock car to dd. just get on google. there are some good dsm forums and you will find TONS of info.
