% of evo owners who have had problems?
1785miles and no problems
Hard Driving from time to time, no drag racing I only floor it in 1st gear at around 5mph and powershift and hear a strange noise 1st --> 2nd then the car starts to pull really hard
Has anyone noticed that the shifting is very smooth when powershifting ?

Ok, got a problem. THE MOST ANNOYING PROBLEM EVER. That damn spring that releases the gas cap has broken AGAIN, i have to put something in the lever to hold it up and pry it open with a key or ask for someone's help. Its the most annoying thing ever and i want to throw my poo all orangutang style at people...then i drive it and everything's ok.

2005 EVO RS with 1862 miles and already had the rear differential replaced. Problem still there, car still at dealership. Only got to drive it for 2 weeks. White spots on hood and an oil temperature gauge that doesn't always want to work.
No drag racing, no street racing, no racing of any kind. No mods. Followed recommended break-in procedure. Should have beat'n the cr@p out of it instead.

03 EVO, very good car. Have had to have the front rotors replaced due to warping. Mitsu turned them the first time and replaced them the second time under warrenty.
Love the car, wish I had more money to put in it.

they saw my Turbo Timer..and didn't give me issues....(not like it would throw my ride out of alignment, ha ha) covered under warranty.....

11.8K miles and the rotors warped. No particular hard baking sessions so I was quite surprised (car not driven any where near as hard as it would have been if I still lived in the UK...). Pads were screwed as well as a result. All replaced under warranty (although there was a discussion about covering the pads at first) so that's OK. I understand that the Evo rotors are pretty poor quality so I guess I shouldn't be surprised...
8k miles on my 04 and no problems besides rattling throw out bearing, but its done that since the day I got it. I figure i'll probably do a clutch soon enough so not really worried about it. I beat the **** out of my car too and it just keeps on kickin.
