The paint is terrible.
The car grinds occasionally in second and fifth.
Small annoying noise in cold weather, maybe dome light wire bouncing inside roof of car.(?)
Overall great car for the money though.

Standard Evo things...and yes, the paint is terrible with how easily it chips....I bought the Mitsu bra for the front to help save it.

38,000 (completely stock) miles and not a single problem. It is stiff, noisy, has notchy gears, rattles, squeaks, gets less than stellar mileage, is not cheap to own, is tempermental on cold mornings, and delivers pure, unadulterated bliss every time I turn the key.

45,000 miles with 315whp since 10,000 miles besides my engine spinning a bearing at 3000 miles which was a factory defect and was covered under warrenty i haven't had any other problems besides basic wear like brake pads and tires, great daily driver.
40,000 miles and no problems. Only time I ever took it to the dealer was for the fan recall. I work as a tech at another dealer so before the warranty went up, I brought the car in the shop to look it all over to try to find anything I could get fixed and couldnt find one thing. Not even a drop of fluid leaking anywhere. Nothing worn. Its been a great car.
81,000 miles. Clutch at 50k miles. Transfer case at 55k miles. Need to get my 3rd set of brakes, brake calipers peeling like crazy, tail needs a clear coat or something, sunroof stuck sometimes... I think thats it. It drives like a champ, will not go down without a good fight!
36k miles. decently modified at around 300 awhp. no problems. just wear and tear. just wax the wing every so often and your cf wont start to look like clouds. other than that, great car. my brother's rsx-s has had more problems than mine. then again, i have 0 problems and hes had a lot considering its a honda. oh yeah, still stock clutch holding strong 
i too was worried at first about reliability of this car before purchasing it. But runs way better than i expected.
