i beat the piss out of a 2003 Mitsu Diamante, it was pretty peppy inline or V6 i think, great handling. I had it up in Northern Maine on the back roads and got the tires to squeal at 80 going through some turns

Although for a FF car i couldn't get it to break free from a stand still w/o turning the wheel, but alas it was an auto. I liked the look of it almost like a new 5 series but inside it was a little small.
