 I've put about 4000 miles on my Lancer
so far.  It was a bit of an impulse buy,
but I'm happy and I have no regrets;
I'll cover the few things I don't like.
 After driving stickshifts for years, I
decided to go for an automatic.  I knew
I'd lose some power and efficiency.  The
car is not particularly fast and I'm OK
with that, but for a slow car I'm
disappointed with the fuel economy.  I
expected high 20's or low 30's for MPG;
I get low-mid 20's.  
 One other complaint about the automatic
is that it's not decisive on its shifts.
 The shifts are not firm (sort of mushy)
and if you mash the pedal down, the car
has to think about it a bit longer than
I care to wait for the downshift to occur.
