Default EVO owners: Quality problems?

I've never owned an Mitsu but many friends and family members have, and the mixed praises and curses I've heard over the years are enough to confuse me about Mitsubishi's build quality. EVO owners: what is your opinion so far?

I think it's a bit too early to determine the Evo's reliability. That said, previous Mitsubishi's have made some of GM/Ford/Chrysler products look pretty good.

One look inside an EVO will tell you they are garbage, regardless of performance.

hey Joe.... I guess you are basically saying that one look inside the S2000 and they are garbage! Not all of us need to be swathed in newbuck leather........... not too many enthusist look to Mercedes for their cars..... Just a bunch of old guys with a few $.


My Evo has no problems so far. It has 1600 miles on it now.

I dont want to be a dick...but I agree. The seats are nice and so is the wheel. Everything else felt like a geo inside to me

IMO, they put the money where it was needed. They made the car fun, fast, and good for the driver. Piss on the rest, I don't care. I would be concerned about Mitsu's overall quality though. Still if the car can hold up to Scot I might buy one.
