If you change your fluids on time, then the car will be good to you. I have over 22,000 miles, and not a single issue.

On the other hand, the last two Honda/ Acuras I've owned gave me tons of problems. Go figure!

 

i had very bad luck with my evo o3 broken transfer cases ,trany problems,never launched and i know how to drive i have had many cars im shure the later year models are better but o3 are shacky...

 

QFT.

 

absolutely, correct break-in of parts and maintenance is so crucial to long-term reliability.

 

To be totally honest with you I have seen just as many if not more problems with IX's than I have the 03-04 VIII's.

 

i owned a b5 s4. great car to drive but expensive to maintain. it seemed like every month there was something wrong. my evo has 74k on it and has been great. the only real issue i had was the acd pump failing but i was able to get a used on installed.

 

I came from the VW world with various Jettas and lastly a GLI 1.8T. The Evo has been the most reliable car Ive have ever owned and goes like clockwork. Minus 10 degrees outside? No problem, starts and goes every time now at 48,000 miles.

 

I have an '03 I bought new. The battery had to be replaced and I had to replace the plastic levers on the heater box so I could move the knob. Thats it. The OEM clutch now has 54,000 miles on it. The '03 is the best car I have ever owned.

 

Well ever since I got my evo I haven't had any problem so I would say they are pretty reliable...but it all depends on the driver...

 

Just look at this way if you dont abuse it, it wont break.. nothing will ever break if you dont abuse it ....if you abused it and it breaks then it's your own fault.

 

Baby that car and it will last long.

Beat on it and it'll brake.



But again who buys evo to baby it???
