The engine gives you more horsepower and noticeable pep than the 4cyl (212 v 165). But, it is still not a sports car.

Yeah, you said it in that last part: This is not a sports car! I drove the '01 today, and was surprised how much it drove like a minivan. It feels like a much larger car.
It's a little beat up, and the A/C doesn't work; I may try to low-ball this guy on Monday, see if I can pick it up on the cheap.
Thanx!
