One brake light globe had to be replaced at 151,000 km.

General Comments:

This car is very reliable and has never broken down, always getting you from A to B.

It performs well for a 4 cylinder car, and is a good car for the price.

The only negative is that the seats aren't very comfortable.

Faults:

No problems at all.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC SUPERCAR... YES SUPERCAR EATER!

Watch top gear on youtube evo vs lamborghini :)

Brilliant in every respect of performance and comfort.

Corners like there is no tomorrow! Amazing. You can plant your foot down with over 300HP at the tyres on full boost and full revs, and take a sharp corner, and most of the time it doesn't budge, doesn't lose traction. If it does, it corrects itself.

Wound up the boost a little and had the computer flashed ($1000) and now has over 310HP at the tyres :)

NOT one reliability issue and I drive it HARD.

Also have a few friends with them - NO issues.

With these small mods:

0-60mph in less than 4 seconds.

Best 1/4 mile is 12.2 @ 113MPH.

Only things it lacks is: (I have to be honest)

Fuel economy when you put the foot down is more like a modified V8 (but then again, it beats most V8's so that's understandable - can't make HP without fuel!)

But if driving normal, you get 4 cylinder economy.

Due to being all wheel drive, performance tyres don't last very long (around 10,000 kms).

Not the absolute softest ride, but very very good still with fantastic recaro suede/leather seats.

If you really want to have fun and you know how to drive, then a rear wheel drive only is much more fun then this car! This thing has too much grip, even in the wet!

Terrible turning circle (due to 4x4)!!!

Lacks low down torque, but if you're in the correct gear, no problems.

Overall, if you look at it as a whole package and price, it's a crazy car.

To be honest, the only thing I personally don't like about it is too much traction! :)

Nothing so far, and once you sit in it, you are completely assured that nothing is going to wrong in this beautiful piece of Mitsubishi engineering!

General Comments:

The car features an automatic transmission, which is named INVECS-III CVT. It stands for intelligent and innovative vehicle electronic control system and CVT for continuously variable transmission. This car can learn a person's driving style, and then adjust its performance according to that person's driving style. The CVT offers manual-like automatic gearbox with sports mode that also has all 5 gears connected. The gear shifts are so smooth that you can actually never feel a jerk or power loss at any time, no matter how you drive it!

To sum it up, it's a truly remarkable masterpiece and a must buy!!!

Faults:

Nothing so far and I confidently expect that to remain so.

General Comments:

In the UK, new or used this car is seriously cheap, We paid £5000 for a two year vehicle with a years manufacturers warranty remaining. This was around £2.5K cheaper than either of the Focus/Astra Estate competition. Whilst its performance and economy are on a par with those two, the dull fascia design with its fiddly radio/CD controls is well behind the times. Paintwork, panel fit and the rest of the interior are all of a very good standard.

Initially the steering feels disconcertingly light in slow corners, belying the amount of grip on offer, but is otherwise good and commendably light for parking. The ride is supple on bumpy country roads and the handling reassuring. The exceptionally smooth 1.6 engine gets raucous at the upper end of its rev-range, but is only noticeable for a few seconds when overtaking. Likewise cruising can get noisy much beyond 80mph which seems a natural cruising gait as it corresponds to peak torque and will return over 40MPG. Equipment is includes 3x3 point rear belts, Air con' fog-lights ABS and EBD heated mirrors a full size spare and alloys wheels (which I would happily fore-sake for a pair of headlamps washers). Whilst passenger space is good the class, the boot floort is high and the rear seat only folds flat instead of double folding. Most competitor's have substantially bigger boots even allowing for the extra 40 litres found in hidden compartments to the side and floor of the compartment.

In summary then, not the cutting edge of its class, but substantially cheaper, and from a maker with great reputation for reliability, which to me is worth a lot more than a flashy fascia.
