7,000km in Australia. sorted the low volume on the bluetooth with a secret screen on the mmcs that mitsubishi australia took 8 weeks to find. also took similar time to sort uploading the phone list of numbers. can't get rid of the internal beeping in reverse gear on the twin clutch system, but....typical great japanese quality. it works. this is in comparison to my 2005 BMW M5 where my wife thought i was having an affair with the service people as i was there every month!

YOu can't really feel anything. It still drives fine. I think I heard a clunk like it seized up or something. It happened pretty quick. I can't choose between driving modes on the AWC and a message comes up on the computer saying it needs service. The warranty claim for the first time I brought in to repair it was about $3000. It only lasted a month.

11K and perfect; very pleased with car. That said, Advans A13c are very soft and very expensive for DD; they can and will be replaced. I did have to fix "OEM" tune. Fuel dilution appears to be significantly reduced AFTER >10K mi although have not tested mine yet; will do so post converison to AMSOIL 0-30W Signature.

Let's face it; this car handles like a Mini Copper, has a shorter braking distance but yet can achieve ~325WHP&TQW with a tune and some simple bolt-ons. Then you add the AWD system adjusted to surface conditions on the fly ... just cannot be matched by any other car in this price range. The only complaint I have is the lack of a six spd; makes hwy driving/long trips more strain on engine and more fuel consumption; Mitsu needs to address this short coming IMHO.

Later, Ken

The rough ride comes due to the worn out tires. After I changed to winters (Michelin PA3), the ride has considerably softened down. There is even more lean-in on turns with these tires.

I have 17,800 miles. I had an oil leak at about 7k, got it fixed by the dealer. Idle issue has gone away, and I've had no other issues. I've had none of the problems people have reported which include, rubber on the front lip falling off. My clutch is still good so I can't complain.

Might want to check the oil leak issue. I had the same issue with mine as well. The dealership supposedly fixed the problem. I changed my oil 3 days ago and noticed oil leaking again. I'm going to take the car in Tuesday to have them look at it again.

I've checked it numerous times after that and it's definately gone. I'll be checking it again soon since I have to change my oil.
