I wanted the '11 but the selection on colors and models was outrageously slim. They say it's due to the earthquakes, which I don't doubt, but I think it's mostly because they have SO many '10 models left. MSRP was 24k, bought it for 19K (excluding tax and license)+ tint + 4 yrs free oil change. The car handles really well, the look is what sold me, storage space is ample, leather seats are a minus, the paddle shifters are fun but I think the GTS should be comparable to the SI and SPEC-V. Overall, what I got for the price is more than I could have asked for. It has the sporty but classy look I was looking for.

I've never heard of a bad Mitsubishi. I'm looking for one for my friend and maybe myself but here's what I know. The Up sides: Beautiful interior, 5 gear transmissions, usually fuel efficient and cheap, pretty sporty with 146 horsepower and decent brakes. Downsides: Not meant for big people, headlights aren't bright with stock bulbs and like all Japanese cars, don't take hits nicely. The main reason to get one is because they are cheap, reliable vehicles. The reason not to get one is if you have ADHD, Pronouncing the name of the brand will drive you crazy. Another car you cant go wrong with. Im Sue, and I'm learning Mechanics and I already know a Mitsubishi is a amazing vehicle, especially these ones.

I Would NEVER Buy it Again

The ride is awful - it’s the worst I have ever experienced in any car I’ve driven in the last 40 years. Very small bumps are okay and smooth roads great. But any other size bumps are bad jolts and very uncomfortable. Road noise is pronounced because poor insulation. The rear view is awful - obstructed by low hatchback, head rests in the back seats, and if people sit in the back seat, it's hard to see anything. And this causes problems parking and backing up and can cause the car to be accident prone. The stability control is not perfected as it doesn't always stop straight. Fuel economy is well below competitors, Toyota, Honda, Kia, etc. The cheap plastics on the dashboard cause easy scratches.
