How do you view the Mitsubishi Lancer?

I'm an 18 year old male. I'm a pretty new driver, and am looking to buy my first car. I'm willing to spend around $17,000 and not too much more, although I'm keeping my options open. A few weeks ago I stumbled into a Mitsubishi dealership and the salesman directed me straight to a 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer. I immediately rejected it based off it only having 4 cylinders, but after spending some time actually going around and seeing cars in my price range, the Mitsubishi is a very viable contender. My only drawback is that speed and power are important to me and the Lancer only cranks out around 148 hp with its 4 cylinders. I rode in one today and although it cornered and drifted well, I really didn't get a chance to see how much "pep" or get up and go power it really has. Are they known for being slow cars? Are they reliable, and would you consider one in my shoes? What are some other contenders in the same class that you would recommend? Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
