that is the soul of the IX and before it. the interior looks "rubbish" but nobody complained because they saw beyond it, a race car with legendary pedigree-true and evolution fans who petitioned mitsubishi to bring the evo in the states.

 

I really don't see the fuss over crappy Evo interiors... I guess the old Evos were pretty bad but the new one is definitely a decent interior. I thought it was pretty well accepted that when you're buying an Evo, you're paying $20,000 for a Lancer, plus $15,000 for performance upgrades...

I guess they could add an upgraded trim level or an interior package for $2,000 with leather seats, carbon trim, upgraded plastics, etc. but that's not what I look for when I buy a Mitsubishi anyway.

 

Now I'm a bigger guy and my instructor was no lightweight either.

And after some spirited driving on the track, the staples had come out. So to those of you high mileage guys, have to done anything on the track with lots of G's? It seems that the lateral force of the occupant helps to tug out the staples.

Here's my take: If the only thing wrong with my (first year of a redesign, Mitsubishi) Evo is the two rattles in the dash and the staples in the seat come out -- I'm as happy as a clam.

ETA: I've got a little over 3,000 miles on the car now. The staples were first seen at around 800 miles on the ODO.

 

just take it back its covered under warrenty

 

Really? I did not know that

 

are you sure about that? what do they do?

 

I have "heard" that it is covered under warrant also and that they will replace your seats

 

Be lovely if someone can comfired that it covered under warranty. Doesn't sound like mitsu to meh.

 

my seats had staples coming off, so i took it in and the guy said that it was under warranty and they just re-staple everything, so at least now i don't see any stables.

they won't replace the seats though, they just need to re-staple lol

 

Like others have mentioned, just take it back to the dealership because it is covered under warranty. I just brought mine back about a week ago and they had put new staples in (and I believe they even told me they added some high-strength glue along the inside to keep it from popping out).

 

yeah im am going to bring mine back, about how long did it take for them to fix it??

 

I would like to know more about the leathers and if they are going to have the same faux design in the middle, or if they even have a color or fabric combo.

Does anyone have more information on the leathers?

I absolutely loved the leather i had in my IX, except those really hot days when you couldn't really sit down till the a/c was on for a bit.

 

I took mine back and they replaced the top half of the seats.

 

my seats are doing the same

 

Well, I had it back at the dealership for a few other issues (squeaky windows, stiff hood latch cable and a reflash) but they told me the seats were fixed within an hour.
