Powertrain Options and Availability
In 2000, RS and GS models used a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that produced 145 horsepower with a 4-speed automatic, or 154 hp with 5-speed manual shift. The GT edition got a 3.0-liter V6, rated 200 horsepower with an automatic transmission or 205 hp with the manual gearbox. When equipped with automatic, the GT had a separate gate for manual gear changes. Subtle changes to the four-cylinder in subsequent years lowered horsepower ratings to 147 with manual, 140 with automatic.
