agreed on the bad driver.
but i think ur looking for like...clutch goes out quickly, stock rotors on early models were prone to warp, paint chipping or rear doors.
maybe others will keep it going!

-Paint chips easily, especially in fender wells and the rear door sills near the bottom
-Clearcoat on wing fades, spots, and peels
-Paint on Brembro brakes fades, and peels
-Clutch doesn't hold up well to 6k+ clutch dumps (nor should it)
-Transfer case also does not like clutch dumps (nor should it)
-Synchros are prone to going bad on 03 models
-Typical DSM lifter tick
-Stock Throw Out Bearing chatters (this may or may not be due to launching )
-Some models tend to throw p0300 misfire codes for no apparent reason
-Stock Yokohama tires wear out very quickly (atleast if you're driving right they do)
That's all I can think of, off the top of my head atm.

i hate the turning radius, I cant even do a full u-e without have to put it in reverse and brake dust gets really annoying. but ive only had my car for a couple of months so i really dont have n e other problems with it. but i love my car and all that crap is worth the it.

I am 200 miles away from 30k miles on my 2003 EVO with no problems whatsoever. Clutch isn't slipping, no tranfer case whine, and no gear grinds. I treat my car like a baby, but i have launched it multiple times and it keeps holding strong.

Again, those problems are mostly casued by bad drivers. Of course, there are chances where some Evo's are made out of the factory spec just like every other things.
