[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 13250467, member: 40530"] I've had (2) 2nd gens and (2) 1st gens. Daily drove both my 2nd gens over 40-50k each. They're as reliable as their owners or previous owners. The car in question though is a 3rd gen, which shares nothing in common with the dsm platform. I've known many avid dsmers go to 3rd gens when they wanted a reliable daily driver, not because their current dsm was unreliable due to maintenance or design but due to having too much power/mods to daily drive in comfort. I've heard nothing negative about the 3rd gens for reliability, I even know a coworker put 260k on a gts spyder and finally after my recommendation changed the timing belt, plugs, etc. He was original owner and after warranty went out he was gonna drive it till the wheels fell off. They're still on, and he hit 300k a few weeks ago. Most the bad rap the 1st/2nd gens got was due to shit noob owners who learned how to mod on that platform, then blamed mitsu for their shortcomings in the maintenance/modification fit n finish department(ie ghetto rigging). Most these guys when they moved up to other brands/models stopped ghetto rigging shit and imagine that, they have reliable fast modded cars. Cause and effect Imo. [/QUOTE]
