I love checking to see if my doors are locked before walking away because it gives me yet another chance to checkout my beloved car! No armrest for me. Prefer not to have it ... Power locks and windows, radio, adjustable intermittent wipers, sound deadening on the floor and firewall, carpet-lined trunk, ABS, power side view mirrors, thicker steel trunk lid ... Who needs all that **** when in return we RS owners get that trunk bar! *joking*

I love my RS! Perfect Evo for me. Has sooooo much character and charm, a breath of fresh air, amongst all the boring cars that the masses drive.

I drive an 04 Rs daily.... At first it took some getting use to cranking the windows up and down..... Like others have said, the fact that your checking to make sure the passengers locked the back doors can be a pain in the ***, but all you have to do is get a nice alarm.....


I recently just got some 05 Mr door pannels and all the motors and such to convert everything to power, but i couldnt pass the deal up($400 for everything).. If it bothers you that much, you can find someone whose going full drag, and buy their interior, they practially give it away....


As far as the cd player, thats usually the first thing you change in a car anyway, so whats the big deal... I did however find it interesting that Mitsubishi ran all the speaker wires from the dash to where the speakers would be... Same thing with the power windows, and door locks.... All the harnesses are there, their just not hooked up to anything.... Its really a matter of just plugging the misc. power acc in.....



And another score for the rs, no shopping cart wing, and when those fully loaded guys take it off, they get those lovely holes in their truck that have to be plugged......


Go buy it, its WELL worth the investment...

i drove my buddies rs for a week and i missed some things from my gsr but it reminded me a lot of my old vdubs...just remember crank windows are more reliable and don't need power to close them in the rain.
