The Lan Evo is the only mitsubishi I would ever buy.
And Frank was talking about most import 4 cylinders.
Obviously, a domestic V-8 has a big advantage over a new mitsbishi eclipse engine in power. Generally an import would be more reliable than the domestic but in Mitsubishi's case you would throw that to the wind!
Even the Evo has quite a few odd problems. But any performance car requires more in maintenence to run properly, no matter what the make is.
