Great fun to drive, corners well. As my son says, it's not that you go any faster, you just never have to slow down. The low visor sometimes is in the way when blocking low sun. Mileage good with Mobil 1, over 23mpg in city.
Can't Wait to Get Rid of This Car!

I bought this car as my third convertible. I had two Sebring Convertibles prior to this one. I have to say that they never gave me the type of trouble this car has given me. The car has cost me so much money in repairs it's ridiculous. So far I have had a rear differential pressure sensor short which cost about $500 to replace, a center speaker blow, a total new set of rims because they bend so easily (they are cheap and the new ones have already begun to bend at the edges), an instrument panel and center stack light burn out, and a fog lamp replaced. To add injury to insult, the rear differential pressure sensor blew because of a Mitsubiahi dealer mechanic leaving off the radiator hose!

Poor Quality, lots of recalls and TSB's

The car is riddled with design defects, such as: Had to put bushings on rear axle do to crackling noise Problems with front brakes causing loud popping sounds. RIMS cracking even though haven't hit anything and Mitsu won't admit to it. Hoping NHTSA will live up to it responsibility and require a recall. Just look at number of recalls and TSB's on NHTSA site to see the quality of this car is horrendous. and last is the DEPRECIATION. This car took a big drop in depreciation last year and now I know why. Won't buy Mitsu again because of all of the above
BIG BANG! (for the buck)

The Spyder handles great, picks up quick, is easy on the eyes and not too costly (to purchase or drive). My very first car was "66 Mustang GT w/ a 3 speed 289. Since then I've driven tons of musle cars: Chargers,Road Runners,Cobras,Novas,Cudas GTOs and many others over my 25 years+ and I gotta say, the Spyder while not as powerfully built as those past bangers it is just plain more fun! It's almost too easy to drive At 5' 10" the cock- pit fits me well. It's very comfortable with the controls easily accessable. Finally, while there's nothing overly fancy about the cock-pit,if you keep it clean it'll still impress your girlfriend(s)
