Evos do have horrible crash ratings. Other than that I can't really think of any reason why it would get a bad review. Unless you have extensive mods and are not doing things properly then you'll run into problems as with any car.

the evo is not for everybody now. LOL if you put somebody thats used to driving BMW porsches and Audis in a evo the may not like it because of the interior alone and that starts the bad taste in the mouth just depends on your frame of mind really.

"Last year was not a good year for Mitsubishi, but the Evo continues to be the one must-have product in the lackluster lineup."

Yeah, pretty harsh!

I also love my 03 evo. While the ride isnt as smooth as bmws etc (which it shouldnt even be compaired too) I absoluetly love the raw feeling of it.
