Agreed ^

Positives:

- can track the car with only pads and fluid and have a blast.  
-AWD is always a plus  
-responds to mods very well  
-4g63 is not anything new, tried and proven motor, lots of big # cars on stock blocks still and driveline.  
-you can pick up a used one for a decent price  
-lots of local support in tuning/modding etc.  
-steering is quick, feel is fantastic, drives very well.  
-Seats are very nice, supportive and good daily.

Negatives:  
-Maintience, can get pricey -drivetain fluids, pads are pricey, belts and etc…  
-Mitsu dealers suck (at least in buffalo).  
-Gas mileage-I average about 20mpg with city/highway mix.  
-Its a firm ride, an aggressive daily driver for sure.  
-Steering is quick, but the lock to lock is only like 2 turns. Not the best car for tight spaces. (drive one you will see…)

Not sure if you have driven one before, but If you would like you can drive mine anytime. Its a lightly modded daily driver.
