you found him, ive had my car for almost a year and havent had any issues with anything. and yes you are right, its the owner that will determine what will go wrong with a car.

What he said. As soon as I left the dealer throwing it into 5th gear it would grind a bit, happened every time. 5 days later I took it to the dealer and had it covered under my extended warranty but it was a b!tch and a half to get it approved.

I'm not 100% positive but I believe the only leather seats you could get with an Evo came with the SSL package. Otherwise they were cloth/suede/vinyl. Though I could be wrong.

buy a 9 with lower mileage.

A LOT of things can go wrong with a car in that milage... age bracket.(03 is 8yrs old) japan paint sucks. mite aswell not even be there (this coming from an 06)
