Is the tranmission , engine gd? the FC of lancer atc.. thanks alot

Someone from one of the car forums commented that the auto transmission or throttle body easily breakdown. Its repair cost can be as high as $1.2-1.3k. It's running on SOHC engine and personally, I don't think it's good. But if you need it from point A to point B, then I guess it's ok.
My friend got a lancer auto and he comments that the brake is pretty "spongy" and not much power when going up the slope. His FC is 12-15km/l.
Other than that, it's a good and affordable Jap made saloon car.
Anyway, no car is perfect and perfect car doesn't come with affordable price. So sometimes, got to give and take.
Buy a car that as long as you're happy with it, meet your needs and within your budget. What others say may not be really important to you.
