I love this car it was my dream car... It was all i expected - fast, stylish, and an eye catcher. I often bumped curbs but other than that it was great - never had a problem brought it at 52000miles. The only thing i had to do is get a new battery at 79000 miles.

Hmm. How can I start.. Within 13,000 miles I had transmission troubles that the dealership had no idea how to fix until 6 months later. At 35,000 miles the transmission had to be replaced completely, since there were massive amounts of metal shards in the fluid. At 45,000 miles the car shook. Took it in for a brake job but the dealer said it was just the rotors so I would be good for a few months before I would need to actually pay for any work.. 2 weeks later I was on interstate 95 and had ZERO brakes. Yeah, I said ZERO. Used "e-brake" to make it to the dealers. Dealer wanted $850 for a new caliper. LOL! PS. if you REALLY want this car, buy a big warranty.

I totaled my first Mistsubishi Spyder GS by flipping over. I believe that it was a miracle that I survived. I really believe that because of the body design and safety features is what saved my life. Since then I have replaced it with a new Spyder GTS, now I have side and front air bags. By the way I was wearing my seatbelt, which I would highly suggest for anyone driving a drop top!

When i bought the car it had 29,000 miles on it. Right off the bat i had problems with it. The radio started going, along with the speakers. I recently took it ion to the dealership for 2 new front tires, and they said i needed four new complete brakes, the whole set. (drums, rotors, calibers and lines) and they said i will soon need a new front suspension. But this car has been treated immaculately.
