 Just traded in a Pontiac Grand Am for my '05 Lancer ES two weeks ago.  The Lancer is such a better car.  I like the look and the engine is peppy for only 120 hp.  The MPG has been far better then my Grand AM wich was also a 4-cyl. engine but doesn't feel like I'm sacrificing power even though the lancer does have less then the Grand Am.  Excellent warranty and 3 years free scheduled maintenence helped sell me on the car.
