Faults:

Engine light came on, it was the mass air sensor. ($450)

Horn went ($20), but I got it for free.

My car suddenly turned off and never started (electrical problem) ($250).

Car rattles a little, most likely because of my sound system I have, because it shakes me whole car, but I tuned it down.

Parts take forever to get shipped, if something goes wrong.

General Comments:

Overall this cars really quick for a 4 cylinder, I'm used to my dads GS400 which is still much faster.

Women love this car, looks really nice.

Its fun to drive because, it handles really well, it glues to the road, but don't make turns at like 60 MPH, no car can handle that in the snow or rain, even though it has all wheel drive.

Braking is also pretty impressive, but if you're driving high speeds and you brake really hard, there will be brake fade, which isn't good (get cross drilled rotors).

Front two seats are comfortable, the rears are a little small, but they're also comfortable.

Faults:

The crankshaft moves too much in the engine at 75,000 miles. The repair requires a complete engine rebuild, and the problem may have also affected the clutch.

General Comments:

The car handles well with a little understeer, but still solid cornering.

A comfortable driver cockpit with all the controls within easy reach.

Not worth the risk as a used car. I have found out that this engine failure is relatively common with model years 1995 and up.

Faults:

My timing belt slipped at 70000 miles. The timing belt was replaced at 50000 miles by the previous owner.

Crank angle sensor replaced 4 times, by myself and the previous owner.

Transmission will not go into reverse unless I go into 1st gear first.

Clutch pressure drops when I make left hand turns. I have to pick up the clutch pedal with my foot to shift when this happens.

Windows rattle badly.

Replaced the wheel bearing.

Paint chipped off the hood.

Paint fading off the ground effects.

Car cannot be aligned properly.

Brake light, coolant light, and SRS light flash on and off randomly.

Both driver's side and passenger side door do not close properly.

Turbo was replaced under warranty.

Dome light does not work for the driver's side door.

After my timing belt slipped, I had the car towed to Marong Chrysler stealer-ship. They replaced the belt under warranty. They reassembled the belts wrong. The balance shaft belt was 180 degrees out of phase. They could not figure out what the problem was so they sent my car to West Herr Mitsu dealership after 1 and 1/2 months of diagnosing. Mitsu figured out the problem in under an hour. Somehow in transit between dealerships, my taillight was busted. Neither dealership would own up to it.

General Comments:

This car is fast. It responds well to modifications. The all wheel drive gives great handling through turns, expecially coming out of them! Drifting in this car is a lot of fun. There is a wealth of information on the Internet about these cars. Good luck.
