| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
i went in with set price and style i wanted, i got it. insurance was cheap on it. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The car in base model is very resonably priced in my opinion. Even my LX (ps, ac, am/fm cd) was a great deal. The dealership gave the max. on my trade in (110%) and I drove away with a payment $50 less per month and 2 years less! |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 110-horsepower 1.6L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
$14K for a car like this is pretty good. |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 96-horsepower 1.5L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
It came with AM/FM/CD, power steering and air conditioning for $6995 for a new car. |

| 2012 | 2dr Coupe 305-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Less than $25k out the door w/ all taxes & other BS ain't bad for a 300hp car that drives this well and this fast. |
| 2011 | 2dr Coupe 412-horsepower 5.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
2 thousand dollars less than its competitors. |
| 2010 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
The 2010 in December was a great price! Even though this is my fun vehicle ( I have eight others, I can easily afford the payments and insurance. Actually, adding this to the "fleet" only added an addition $53 to my six-month premiums. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
I can't believe how reasonably priced this car was. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
Alot of car "fun to drive" for a really good price. |
| 2005 | 2dr Coupe 300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD |
Cheap for the performance level, and cheap to own long term. |
| 2002 | 2dr Coupe 190-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed manual RWD |
Very cheap car for the performance and styling even in the 6 cylinder model. |
