General comments?

Great performance and fun to drive is about the only plus about this piece of junk. Multiple rear end problems caused it to go out of alignment and wear tires. Even rotated every 5000 miles. Paid big money and expected to get over 100,000 miles, but the car is falling apart. I would have been better off purchasing a Hyundai for half the money. I my opinion Mitsubishi blew it with this car. Probably why they stopped making it.

I've had the same car for almost 6 years and have only had a problem with the driver's power window. Otherwise I've been extremely happy (and I guess, fortunate) with the quality and reliability.
