I love my car, but I hate that I am afraid to drive it into Philly. Instead, I take the train. People feel for the bumper when they parallel park in Philly and some cars get side swiped... when you're rocking expensive parts it's hard to put your car in iffy situations.

Oh, and my JUN side skirts make me paranoid as hell. Whenever someone is riding in my car I have to remind them EVERY time they open the door to watch out for the side skirt. One person stepped on it once

I have 143k miles on mine. Never had a major problem. I don't consider the clutch going out a problem because we usually cause that. I drive this thing everyday.

Well me and my Evo have a love/hate relationship. Right now it's the hate part lol.. My clutch just went and is slipping so bad i can't even drive her . Today i go to turn her on just to pull her out of the garage and clean her half the lights blow out Just my luck replaced the fuse that blew and it blew again instantly... Now I have to take her apart to find a short...

We've all been there. I remember me losing oil pressure because of a bad oil pan. But once you go 0-60mph, engage 2-step, or really get into boost, you tend to forget those things. Like Most-Wanted- said and I agree, it's a 50/50 love/hate relationship

57k miles, zero issues (aside from peeling momo steering wheel that got replaced under warranty). I guess I got lucky? Most reliable car I've ever owned.

The only secondary ride i use is a scooter and it is equally as fun as my car. Plus you never get looked at by cops, even if you hop on it right after you stumble out of the bar.

Thats how it is with these cars, If you make good power things need to be replaced all the time. If its not one thing its another. It gets even worse if its your DD, I want to pick up another car as a DD but dont want a car payment and i know if I get a cheap beater Im just gonna end up not wanting to drive it and just drive the evo anyway.

No, you just didn't screw-up your car.

i have 129,500 miles and still running strong. ive replaced clutch 2x already only beacuse the first time a shop called (not so) swift motorsports in Norwich ct fuc%$# it up. the employees agreed they intalled it wrong and the owner said he would replace it however he changed his mind and wouldnt release my car until i paid him 1500 hundred dollars. one week later he filed for bankrupsy and sold the place.......your car will last just as long you have the right people working on your car....good luck
