09 lancers Options

[jason]

So... ive gone through a ridiculous amount of cars over the past year, through not liking them, stuff breaking (NEVER buy a speed3 EVER!) and other motorists apparently not liking my vehicle and wanting to total it

im currently rockin a charger to drive 92 miles round trip to and from work each day, and the hemi bull**** is killin me with gas.

so... i stumbled upon a descent 09 lancer gts - fully loaded in "wicked white" - 10yr 100k warranty too, with 0% apr and 1500 cash back (cancels out the nav upgrade package)

this is not a ralliart or evo, but it does have the 2.4 168hp 167lb/ft engine - should get ME about 30mpg with my grandma commuting driving

yes i still have the celica, and yes it is/has been undergoing surgery the past while and will be on the road again *hopefully* by summer 2010

so what is everyone's take on the lancer? i like it, which is what matters, but curious about any extra insight anyone may be able to offer (are they gay/girly cars, some maintenance issue i need to worry about, cheap stuff breaking on it, or are they cool cars)

I remember a Car and Driver comparo with one of these in it- observed fuel economy was tied for worst with an Impreza 2.5i at 23 MPG I believe...
