are these cars so bad they break down on the freeway? i was going to buy one but after reading all the problems everyone is having with warranties, parts, and then seeing a brand new one on the side of the freeway ( it didnt even have plates yet, they were still paper ) i have to wonder if mitsu didnt just build a ****ty car and over price it... subaru... here i come

 

Read my signature dude

 

maybe they blew a tire. were on the phone.? was the car abandoned?

And dont let the negative stuff on this board get to you. YES SOME PEOPLE have legit complaints/problems. BUT ALOT OF US have not had 1 PROBLEM not 1

Get your EVO.........heck wait and get the 2005 MR !

 

warped brake rotors - thats the only prob i've ever had with my car, and i admit it was my fault. i drove it like crazy for the first few months i've had it. i already have 15k miles.

 

Must have ran out of GAS

 

nice grammar in the subject title.

If you're not buying an Evo simply due to "seeing one on the side of the freeway", then that's pretty ignorant. I mean seriously dude.....that's pretty lame.

Secondly, if you're going to buy an STi or something else, why post on here? Just go.

 

Maybe the driver had a warrant out for his arrest, got pulled over and got arrested-the car left on the side of the road-for example. A lot of maybes come into play. I doubt anything was wrong with the EVO!

 

all i can say is... the people who have zero or little problem will be quiet.. the loud ones are the very few who received lemons.. even the toughest hondas can have lemons...do an intelligent research instead

 

this is obviously a flamebait and you guys fell for it

Obviously? They guy has been here for 8 months and supposedly owns an ES. Doesn't seem like troll material to me.

If the car was abandoned without plates, I'd bet it was the dealer joyriding the car and running out of gas. Dealers typically don't fill tanks up, so it'd be pretty easy to run out in the Evo. If there were people still in it, maybe just on a test drive and the salesman was going over some things.

 

for one, i do own a 2002 lancer es, i've looked into and test drove evo's at dealerships... and the price tag they stick on them is insane. Sure i've seen WRX's on the side of the road, but this car wasnt a dealer on a test drive, we were like 40+ miles from the nearest dealership.... if i was trolling i'd whine about how i so wanted an evo and how im SOO gettin a WRX now, but im just saying for all the hype this car has gotten i've seen little bang from it in the market..... maybe the 05's will change my mind but after driving an 04 and seeing the price and acutally seeing one broke down im not so sure mitsu is on the right track in making a sports car.. better leave it to the big dogs or something

 

how about no gas? blown tire? you're not 100% sure what happened.....bbbbbbb sell your evo guys, and please dont buy them they r garbage

 

just because it's park on the side of the road, you guys ASSUME it's broken and evos are garbage

you guys need to stop making stupid assumptions

-joe

 

*werd*

did you even stop by to figure out what really happened or it was just an assumption

 

Blew a hose of under boost... I have done that...
