I'm looking into the car in title... it's a 5 speed, with only 54k on it.

My question is - are these cars generally good? I'm thinking of just trading in my car for said Mitsubishi as our friend has it at his dealership. I'm looking for something more reliable with less miles (than my 158k) and that gets better gas mileage.

Any known problems to watch out for with these cars?

And, most importantly, does this car have any power whatsoever? I know it only has 135hp but I'm thinking since it's light and 5 speed might help it out a little bit? My car has enough power for me now (weighs 3300lbs, 190hp@200ft-lb with a turbo) and I don't want to go into anything too much slower.

Thanks guys. This is the car in question:







As you can see, car is very clean
