well besides brake pads im at 39k miles and its great, ive had it since 33k and it drives just like teh 02 es my local dealer had that only had 11k miles on it, so im pretty happy about it.

about 73k on mine. no problems on mine at all. but i don't do drops higher than 3k. gotta change the timing belt soon though. still got stock brake pads since i always downshift to slow down. personal preference.

You got to be joking me right? I have 50k on mine, and it runs just as strong as the day I got it man. I think these cars have great quality.

our cars are solid! The only things you are gonna end up replacing are: Oil, Clutch, break pads and maybe windshield.

Its the Evo's that have been having reports of breaking moreso than the normal Lancers! :P

All of you who responded somewhere along the lines of: "MY CAR HAS x AMOUNT OF MILES AND IT'S STILL RUNNING AS GOOD AS THE DAY I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT" better go knock on wood. I would find that quite hysterical if your guys' cars started breaking down within the next couple of weeks

So far I have almost 8,500 miles on my RA, still runnin strong
