It's been about 2 months and I've put about 2500 miles of highway and city driving. No tracking done. The vehicle has performed wonderfully. I just transitioned from a 2001 Camry, so my expectations were easily exceeded with this car. I was able to get a test drive at a dealership in Pittsburgh and loved it. The Subaru guys did not let me have one, so I just bought the one I knew I'd like. I also took the 10 year 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty with a 100$ deductible since I do not intend to mod the car much. Its just lovely as it is. I knew before purchasing the car that it was going to be an expensive affair, but I was ready to pay the premium for the enjoyment since I could afford it.

MR Touring 2010

I sold my 2009 Ralliart for the MR Touring. There is no contest in build quality, performance and comfort. I really have wanted this car since it I first saw it in August. The deal was great and so far for the $$$$$ I feel it is the car for the money. Reminds me of my Audi RS4. Not the interior quality but the performance and looks are all there for $38,000. Too bad Mitsubishi does not put this quality into their lesser cars like the Ralliart. I know that this is their signature auto so I do get that and my son's GTS build quality was also better than the Ralliart also. I now have become a Mitsubishi Fan.

Well I got a bad one, and started out on the wrong foot, I still dearly love my car, but at 1143 miles I required a new transmission. My notchy went grinding and then ripping, I got a new tranny, im not grinding as bad now, but still grinding. I love the overall car tho, just wish I had gotten a different one. I realize people have a lot of notchy issues, hopefully this is something that will play out.

Great track car; not so great commuter

Lack of overdrive gear really kills highway mileage (3500-4000rpms); really bogs down below 3k rpms, still has turbo lag between 3-5k then starts to fall flat above 5500 rpm. Redline might as well be 5500 rpm. Handles great but the only way to safely test its limits is at the track. Don't bother buying unless you plan to track the car at least recreationally.

X GSR review

I'm loving this car so far. It's a bit heavier than my IX was, but it makes up for it with a vastly superior chassis and substantially better handling potential. The fit and finish have been improved, the brakes are bigger (since the car is as well), the final drive is a bit shorter, and it now has Mivec on both cam gears with a chain driven system on the new 4B11. No more timing belt! Fueling is just pig rich stock. This car will wake up substantially when an aftermarket ECU solution becomes available to the general public.
