I've had my 2008 MR since 2012, it had a couple of years off the road waiting for an engine rebuild but I've always daily driven it, it's had baby seats, boosters etc, and it's generally been a great family car. It's now back on the road, and other than the timing chain failure at 290,000km it's been virtually problem free. Best car I've ever owned by a long shot.

Mine is nearly at 300,000km, and has been making 400hp and 550nm for around half that. The only major problem I've had was a timing chain failure at around 290,000km that could have been avoided if Mitsubishi had thought to program in a specific warning (instead of an exclamation mark in a triangle that told me that something needed attention, but not what exactly). Still, it was a good excuse to do a complete engine rebuild. I've been religious about servicing it every 10,000km, and I'd recommend changing the SST fluid every 30,000km, more often if you can afford it. Mine is a 2008 model, and it's still on its original clutches. Like Jackson says, look after it and it should look after you. Happy motoring!

Hi yeah I've heard those ohlins are the best too, if they were comfy before you changed tyres then I'd say it's down to that. You could always adjust the coils to a softer setting when you're just cruising around and thr tighten them for hard driving. What size wheels are you running on that tyre and what tyres are they?

As the evos get older and mitsu looks more and more like it’s going to stop building cars in america…I wonder if it’s a good idea to buy one after I finish college in 3-4 years.

I think they will definitely hold their value or continue to go up over time so buying is a good idea, parts can be found as lots of them built so many cars being parted out.
