It's too bad mitsubishi has had so many reliablility issues in the past, as i'm sure this has hurt their sales. I was a Snap-on dealer at a multi franchise dealership from 1995-2002 and I would go to the Mitsu service area and see the techs swapping engines and trannies on late model cars, and then go to the Honda/Acura service depts and see brake jobs/ timing belt services and oil changes being done. That showed me what car I wanted to own. I wonder if they have improved, beacuse I really like the Evo, but am afraid to own one.
