7000 miles on my IX MR. Very fun to drive. My only complaints would be some minor interior rattles, and there is more interior noise than I would like at highway speeds.

Only one of the rear seatbelt stop working but was replaced under warranty. The tires wear out uneven, perhaps the car needs an alignment but again 13500 miles on the tires and there is still some rubber left.

Other than the two issues listed not a single proble.

Almost 11,000 miles on my IX MR. No Problems here. Buschur exhaust, MBC and Dynoflash. Very fast, very fun and would not trade for any other car to use as daily driver and plenty able to stomp most anything that rolls up next to you. Wonderful car. A++++ Mitsu! Also nothing beats it for the money!!!

Get your car's alignment ASAP, because the inside part of the front will start wearing fast........Mitsubishi should do it for you free as they did mine.....but I already had the uneven wear that can be seen at 5000 miles....don't know if they would do it if there's no visible wear.

so far i added an MBC, induction box, TBE, Tune, and i am 309whp... absolutely love it..

had an 00 eclipse GT.. with all the mods you can get.. stage III supercharger, with meth injection, full under body stiffining kit.. changed the dash, ligthing in the car.. full body kit.. suspension, rims, tires..

i was like doing 350 on the wheels, doing 23PSI...

did i mention the car was an automatic, and front wheel drive?

+1!
15,000 miles - and not a single problem. The car is looked after, washed/cleaned/maintenance from the manual NOT the dealership. I've launched a few times, got some clutch stink once. Haven't been beyone 120/130mph.
Driven for more than 8 hours non-stop, four or five times, fully loaded.
Brake late, and power through corners.

I love my MR.

Because any traffic LEO worth his automotive salt should know what his prey are. An Evo out of the showroom is a formidable weapon as it is. Much more than a Rustang or the Craparo twins.

LEOs are regular folks too and they have internet access and computers and such. They come to this forums and read up on stuff.

Like I said I don't agree with it but I understand. Whenever I need to get somewhere in a hurry I take my Wifes Minivan and haul ***. Most LEOs won't even look at your way.

6100 miles. Some slight cabin rattle. My only regret is not being able to get the FQ330 version here in the U.S. haha

Other than the above, I love my IX.
