MSP questions

[JADE-D-M]

i'm looking to get a new car and one that caught my eyes is the MSP.

how much money do u normally spend on gas for MSP every week?
When u have to repair the car would it cost more than other?
How does it drive in the winter?


thats basically all i wanna know for now...lol thank in advance

umm if you want to make power this really isn't the car for you unless you want to dump alot of money into it. i use about 35 bucks to fill up the tank depending on gas prices and i get about 30-32 mpg. depending on what breaks it can be pricey if the turbo or lsd goes. its one of the best handling fwd cars out right now and its not bad on the eyes either.

it,s a "you can't leave stock" car.. no way around it.. even if it's not powwer you're after, you're still gonna have to changed broken parts by aftermarket ones to get the car more reliable..

gas: 45-60 (Cad. Which I lived in the US sometimes...) /tank
maintenance: basic maintenance is not so bad (breaks, oil,etc...), other things can be pricey like stated above, but that makes it a good platform to learn how to do things on your own...or deal with stealership warranties, your choice
