125 mi. and going strong! On time oil & transmission fluid changes, 3rd battery since purchase Aug 2003. 1 owner vehicle....seats are hard front & back & 1 door hinge doesn't stay open but that is my only dissatisfaction with this vehicle. I use the auto transmission but it also came with a switch over to manuel transmission feature which I have not seen anywhere else yet but I know they do exists. I am looking for a truck now because of free range horse/cattle in my area. I will miss this car forever. Held up well in & out. I had avalanche truck -entire dash board circuitry went out-thanks for not letting me know chevy co! I will buy my new truck elsewhere! not like U couldn't find me duh!
Sooo much fun !

I bought this car from Fremont Mitsubishi, CA. The sales staff was TERRABLE !!! No one knew anything!!! I had to research all options, trims, and any questions I had, I had to find out on my own. NO ONE in that dealership helped at all. In the end through dealing only with the New General manager did I finally get my car. (everyone else we had delt with had vanished)

Traded a V6 Accord coupe with all options. Biggest mistake ever! This car is affordable, but no fun. If I could do it all over again I'd get aGTS 5- speed, and then maybe I could get decent acceleration and around town drivability. I have to drive my GS with the manumatic constantly revving to 6,000RPM and I still think it is slow. Build quality is okay, and the interior has too many cheap plastics. I had to buy an aluminum dash kit just to dress it up. I'm going to keep the car, so I plan to add headers, a new exhaust, new intake and throttle body, and either a turbocharger or performance chip. It's the only way the car will be tolerable.
Oh my Gosh!!!

Worst car in the world!! Bought it with 62,000 miles and it is the worst. So uncomfortable, so noisy, so many rattle, make horrible grinding noises, engine is ok, but not powerful enough, all of these cars have cracked dashes that make all sorts of noises. IT IS SO TERRIBLE!!!!! Never buy this car. OH YA and it LEAKES Water From Stupid A/C. Worst car ever!!!!!!! I can not express this enough!! DONT BUY!

I bought this car back in March and was initially happy with it, but as time went on I became more and more frustrated with the very poor low-end HP and torque. Sure, once ya get the thing about 4000 rpm, it pulls fairly well, but getting to that point is torture. Mash the accelerator anything under 4000 rpm and the thing just dogs. The car handles corners very well and is fun to drive in that aspect. Another compliant is the awful turning radius. By far the worst in that aspect of any car I have driven. Any U-turn is impossible without having to backup at least once.
