Power is provided by a turbocharged 1.9-liter inline-four mated to a five-speed automatic transaxle and the car is finished in black over Taupe leather upholstery. Factory options included the Climate and Premium packages, which added headlight wipers and washers, a power sunroof, Dynamic Stability Assistance (DSA), heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, woodgrain trim, and an upgraded sound system connected to an AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo. Additional equipment includes 15″ ten-spoke alloy wheels, power-adjustable heated side mirrors, cruise control, and air conditioning.
