Very reliable! If you have any questions you can reach us by email. We have a lot of customers daily driving them and a few in the 400-500 hp range on 93 pump gas with zero issues.

We have a few customers around 70-80 k, and we have a couple with less than 10k. None have had any major isses with anything. We did have one car blow the rear diff but that was due to a leaking seal and Mitsubishi covered it under warranty. They are very reliable I would say. Just keep up on the scheduled maintanance and you will be fine.

Another question what mods void your warranty? for example i plan to have cold air intake BOV and Catback within the the first 5K miles on the car and what is the max amount of boost the stock turbo can put out?

Warranty varies dealer by dealer... some are cool, and some void you on the smallest stuff. You might want to search on your regional forums here to find good dealers. My X is my DD with full bolt ons, no problems. Personally, I gave up on the warranty when I drove it off the lot. Good luck to you!

The x is a blast to drive everyday. At the end of a rough day of work, I find a twisty back road to put me in a good mood again. The X is one of those cars that you get out what you put into it. I don't meant what additional parts on it, but the driving experiences that you put the car in.
