I had my car since july and have no problems. I have 2 friends around here with 08's they got right when they came out and I don't think either has even had a warranty issue yet. I've had a honda and a gm before the gts and has gave me the best service and been the most helpful out of any car company I've dealt with.

I have 09 GTS with 12,000kms and im happy with it. Could use a little more power though.
I do love the looks of the car especially after being lowered and changing the rims.
I threw on a magnaflow catback as well and that helped a bit

i still love my GTS, u obviously will get used to its speed and limitations, but I dont think there is any car out there that looks as good as one of these for the money. i really dont see many in my area either, so people are always asking "wow what kinda car is that, is that like a spin off of the Evo, wow nice ride man"... Just keep it clean and take care of it and you will be happy for quite some time. Not many new cars out now for this price that will get heads to turn

09_GTS_MITSU I will suggest one thing for you. If you can, get to throw in or buy yourself the 3M clear bra kit for the front and 3M kit for the side skirts. Went on a 800km trip(both ways) last week and when I came back I counted 87 rock chips on my hood , side skirts and doors. Before the trip I know for a fact I had only 2 on my hood. said basically sh** happens and they won't fix it or actually put a clear coat on my car. My car now looks like I got a polka-dot paint job. I ended up finding out doesn't use a clear coat. They use an all-in-one epoxy type paint. It's way cheaper for them. I took it to 2 autobody shops and they both said the same thing. Other than the crap paint job it's a good car though.

I dont know how some are disappointed, yeah its no ralliart or evo but this is more of an econ car. the only thing that sucked for me is, they (Mitsubishi) came out with projectors about two months after i got the car and then about month and a half or two they came out with the ralliart.

Im happy with what I got, there are small things Id like to improve on sure
