The aero kits are installed at the dealer or the port, which is why the side skirts are falling off and the front lip sagging. That's just improper installation. The seats, well yeah the seats are garbage in the car, but you can easily fix the staple issue by taking off the fake carbon pieces and pulling the fabric up and repositioning the staple to prevent it from sagging like that. As far as the clutch is concerned, garbage. That's one thing that mitsu just can never seem to get right is their trannies. Notchy, crunchy, and soggy, under-rated clutches that wear out prematurely only to have mitsu claim abuse and not cover it under warranty. I love my X and have had my quarrels with it, but I try to just focus on the many things that I like about it and forget about what I don't. As far as the headlight thing, well that's just plain ridiculous. Maybe the tech who assembled yur car was drunk or something. Can you say LEMON? What a terrible dealer also... which dealership did you go to?

ok update i hierd a lawyer he told me to get the car and bring it home so i have the car at home now floridas lemon law is 3 attemps to the dealer for the same thing in a 2 year time frame its been 6 weeks its been there 5 times for the clutch and the seats i have all the documents from the dealer that shows it was brought in for the seats and the clutch with nothing done to fix either one of them

the dealer is buzz lenard in panama city florida


the weird thing is i call customer relations yesterday at mitsu and filed a huge complaint numerus problems ive had at the dealership

the sales guy called me yesterday afternoon and asked if i decided to trade for the silver evo or not i sad no i wasnt going to lose 18k on my car then he told me that they dealer transfered all 4 of the evos they have on the floor so they wont have anymore and no plans to get any more

whats up with that?

Florida has a lot of consumer protection laws, but your dealer is just insane for treating you like that. You need to complain to everyone... heck if its really bad, just call a local news station and have them come out for an interview.

My general rule of thumb, NEVER buy a car from florida, ESPECIALLY an exotic or "high performance" car.

hrmmm I think you should let your "boss" know that they just got the worst review in the worst possible place. Maybe if the stars align and the gods allow it... his head will drop out of his *** and they will fix this guys situation...

lol I agree, this is not the place to give a mitsu dealer a bad review.
