Well it is really, REALLY nice to not feel like you are going to lose control every time you go on a ramp, pass on the highway, turn a corner or do anything else that does not involve going in a straight line! The Lancer even with the 2 ltr could have kicked my FRS but from a dead stop but again you have to turn sometime!
Don't miss the reduction in space and I am pretty much the only person that ever goes in my car.
Do miss the auto climate and keyless entry/ignition and that could have been taken care of if I had got a Monogram but I didn't want to have to shop around and got a great deal on my FRS.
Like I said before the SE/GT (Canadian) Lancer is a very nice little econ sedan if that is what you need but does not come close to the FRS (although the GTS or Ralliart does start to approach it).
