Mitsubishi Lancer
I've got a Lancer ES, and it's no 2700Kg, it's 1300 Kg, and 120 Hp is enough to get me into enough trouble without even the extra 40 Hp of the ralliart.
We've never had a problem with ours, only 17,000 on it so far, but a nice car, with lots of room inside, and lots of options for the trunk. On the downside, it's a PITA to get power wire through it.

sorry DW, you did say pounds. still how much power do you need? 120 HP in that car is good enough for 200 KM/H on the highway. Do you own one? have you driven one? or are you looking solely at power and weight as it's defining feature? you'd jump all over someone for doing that with car audio gear, but apparently it's ok for you to do that with an actual car worth much, much more.
Having owned a Civic, and a Lancer, the lancer feels much less cheaply made than the civic, and the construction is very nice.

my buddy was in the market for a car in that class and on paper the lancer seemed the best choice but when he drove it he said it seemed cheap and was very underpowered.
he tried a few cars , lancer, civic, corolla, sentra, focus and a couple others I can't remember
he said the mazda 3 was the best of all the ones he drove, he said it was the peppiest and it handled the best
so after all that test driving and shopping the dumbass turns around and buys a used grand cherokee
I mean wtf he says he's lookin to replace his accent with a 4 door economy car and he doesn't want a domestic cause they're unreliable and then he comes home with a domestic suv
but anyways just what he was telling me.........

yeah, i dont know yet, i'm going to go check out the dealers up here, we have a ford, chev, dodge and toyota dealers. I dont want to be stuck with a broken down car 5 hours from edmonton. I also don't like the idea of driving 5 hours for an oil change or any sort of service
My sister has a 2005 Lancer Ralliart. I would say it is the smoothest and best handling car I have ever drove. The OZ model has 120 hp, but the Ralliart has the bigger 2.4L with 160 hp. It will slam you back in the seat no problem, but of course just about every new car will now a days. No problems with it yet 20,000 km, and Mitsu has one of the best warrenties out there.
