Hey cam, what dealership did you get it from? I'd be willing to make the trip up if they are cool about stuff like that!

Damn Check engine light keeps coming back on. Will be taking it in again. They said if it happens one more time they would look into it really well. So far I can't complain about the service I have been getting. Hope its nothing big.

I'm sure there are much more people with bumper rust. It's just that no one wants to take the bumper off to see.

If you didn't do anything about the bumper, what would eventually happen? I'm guessing it would corrode the whole bumper...

At 1200 miles:

- slight rattle behind glove compartment;
- slightly stiff 2nd to 3rd gear;
- oil level dropped by 1/2 a quart (wow is that normal??)

Everything else appears normal; whatever normal means to an Evo...

I had to have the front rotors replaced at 3500 miles because they were warped. A fair number of people that write into this board have reported a problem with their rotors. No problems other than that....I'm at 7600 miles now.

lots of heavy duty pieces rust on old cars, subframes, control arms, those pieces last forever. i understand its a new car and ideally there shouldn't be rust anywhwere. but unless its a body panel it will probably rust for 20+ years without failure depending on where you live.

12k miles. no problems. clutch still fine SO FAR. don;t ever launch or drag race, but drive like an MFer in the mountains and on dirt roads! the rattle behind the glove box.. guessing its the same thing others had. its the plastic "panel" on the outside at the base of the windshield (cowl??).... it rubs against the glass, squeaking and rattling. Had it on BOTH sides. A little putty (dum dum?) on it, and its fine. no rattle now unless REALLY COLD outside.
