We have now owned our 2008 EVO for four months now. At first, I will say that we were very excited about our purchase. That was until we waxed the vehicle for the fourth time 1 1/2 weeks ago. My husband noticed a massive amount of paint chips above the rear tires on both sides of the car and also on the hood. I searched the web, and found we are not alone! Tons of people have this affliction, and Mitsubishi has done nothing for most of them. Do not buy this vehicle unless you want your paint to chip off, or your windshield to chip with 3000 miles on the car. Very poorly made and will not last. Worst purchase we have ever made as far as quality. Huge regrets.

No test drive, I knew what I was getting into. First time driving it out of the dealer lot...WOW! This monster has torque, seats are supportive but very difficult to adjust when reclining. The interior plastic parts are below average compared to my 06 Civic. The plastics are flimsy and cheap to the touch. The transmission is notchy [esp. upshifting to 2nd gear and when compared to HONDA tranny]. I've had 2003 WRX so this GSR's tranny isn't that much of a complaint to me.

I leased an 08 GSR two weeks ago and can't stop driving it. The car is amazing. Although it could use a 6th gear the car just wants to be driven. I am 6'2" and find the car to be a little tight and probably wouldn't be a wise choice to take on a long trip. The spooling of the turbo and shifting is precise. It's flat out the best car for the money. I'm 32 and owned a lot of fast cars but I would rate this car at the top. Trust when I tell you it won't disappoint the buyer.
One of the best performance cars!

I had this car for 1 year now and still love the drive feel of the car. One of the best performance cars I ever driven. Exterior looks stunning. Handling is fantastic. Not so good on the gas mileage, especially with small tank (means need to fill up more often), but looking performance wise not too bad. Need better quality interior for the price of the car. As for reliability, need to do something for the stone chips problems.
Make sure you want a sports car

Great sports car, but be ready to make some compromises.This thing is a blast to drive. Most fun car I have owned. Just like the last review, I had to replace windshield at 800 miles. BUY the clear 3m paint guard, especially front, and rear rocker in front of rear wheel. Great stock stereo, but no steering wheel control, seats are great, if you fit their ideal size, because they hardly adjust, plus the material is cheap, and wears quick. This isn't my only car, so it fits me perfectly. Personally I could use it as a daily driver. Just be prepared to pay extra for its performance in little items, like tires, windshields, upgrades, you will want to tune. Highly recommended.
