Faults:

The transmission went out at 57,000 miles and was replaced for $1900.

Intake became clogged and leaking in which that repair also included a new EGR valve due to build up at 65,000 miles at a cost of $320. 90% of all this work was covered by the extended warranty, thankfully.

Front dash speakers blew and *nobody* makes a 2.5 inch full range speaker replacement. These were custom made by Infinity for Mitsubishi and are non existent except through Chrysler or Mitsubishi if you want to pay almost $100 a piece! The problem is the 2 inch speakers cone suspension breaks down due to the direct sunlight. And the 6.5 inch door speakers didn't last any longer.

General Comments:

This car has no power whatsoever. 163 horsepower is not enough to make this even average for a car of this size.

Very expensive maintenance and the 50,000 mile transmission problem seems to be common.

Drivers seat does no have enough leg room for a 6' driver to extend their legs.

Faults:

Paint peeled on front fender. Had to get Chrysler to repaint.

Transmission blew at 54000 miles.

General Comments:

I loved this car when I bought it. However, very disappointed that the transmission has blown, and I am being quoted 2500.00 to repair it.

Faults:

When I was looking to buy the car, my father who is a mechanic saw that the underside of the car was covered in oil. When then got the car for $2,800 less. The problem was the oil dip stick was leaking. After he put some O-Rings in it stop and no more oil leaks.

I've had to replace the brakes, but I know I'm a power braker (driving fast then slam on brakes).

I've had some problems with the CD player, but all you have to do to reset it is disconnect the battery. It now works great. It plays CD's that my old car's player wouldn't.

General Comments:

I love my car. It has great power. The day I bought it I very easily passed a 2002 Grand Prix. I really took pride in it.

I love the way it corners. I feel like I could race with NASCAR.

I also love the moon roof. I never had a problem with leaking or any unnecessary noises.

Faults:

Car horn stopped working after 100,000km. Defect is caused by positioning of horn which rusts when driven in wet weather. Avoid by reversing horn position. Reduces horn sound, but it won't rust.

17 inch Rims bend easily, and are expensive to replace. Avoid potholes at all costs.

Warning light for engine was on and off for first 60,000 km, then turned off and hasn't come back.

Electrical problems with lighting behind climate control consistent and doesn't go away.

Interior light above drivers seat stopped working at 128,000 km.

Factory tires are poor and wear quickly. Replaced with better low profile hard rubber tires, no problems since.

General Comments:

No major problems with a car that looks incredibly hot and handles amazingly.

I've spun out on the highway at very high speeds, and have to say the low profile and aggressive stance saved my life. This car simply doesn't flip.

The cars engine is built by Mitsubishi not Chrysler.

This is a car you'll fall in love with.
