Had an Evo come into the shop for some work after a collision. red one. Had the single WORST paint I have ever seen from facotry. It had so much orange peel that it looked like the whole car had been coated in rockguard.

As to the clutch comment earlier, the guys at our Mitsi dealership tell me that they put a lot of clutches in these things. Average is 10k miles. It is so bad that rumour has it they're considering loosening the warranty restrictions on em. It would follow in line with Nissan admitting that the front ends on 350z's are horribly designed and eat tires constantly.

Personally, I wouldn't touch a new Mitsi of any type. They're unreliable, have shite paint, and uninspired design. I would happily jump on a 1st gen DSM AWD turbo as they're great fun to tune. The 4g63 is one of the all-time great mills, and is easily the SBC of the import world.
