We've all seen the magazine 1 year test updates; all of which have no problems to report, so lets see yours! All of you who have about a year of ownership, any problems and nit picks, or no problems at all? Lets get your milage too.

After test driving an EVO about a month ago, I can't stop thinking about it. I currently drive a 97 Z28 6spd hardtop and am ready for something totally different and the EVO fits the bill. I must admit though, after reading all of the complaints I am getting a little uneasy about pulling the trigger and buying one.

 

No one has had their EVO a year yet. I've had mine 6-7 mos and no problems here.

10,000 miles
Stock clutch
No squeaks, rattles, or decel noise.
Just replaced the stock tires for winter.

 

No problems at 4mos 4,200 mi.

 

slt- I love your car! I have your sig pic as my desktop picture.

I had a 96 z28 6 speed traded it in 4 my evo(in june), night and day,miles apart,not even in the same class..........MY evo rattles a lil bit,Stock clutch but dead(drove hard). But I love this car as much as you should love a car maybee more=).Wish they came out years ago.

 

had my car for ~ 8 months

11,4xx miles as of today
stock clutch dead at 6k
A/C went out @ 10k (warrentied)
nail in tire last week

those are maintainence issues... aside from the normal

this car is lots of fun, love it every time i take it out

 

Bought in March
Current Miles: 29K
Had a bad Throwout Bearing replaced @ 6K (Warranty Covered)
Oil changes and Tire roataions every 4K
Still on stock tires with about 1/3 tread left.
Still hate to get out of it everyday.
I beat it but I don't drag it!

 

Not mine, This was my background for a while too. I used it b/c I have a white Evo but no pics of it.

 

Damn Redcloud and I thought I put some miles on my car, great to see you driving your investment, I bought mine to drive not to display as a model in my garage, but yeah I picked mine up on March 11th, currently have 17,200 miles on it, have had to get some of the seat clips fixed, the No. 3 LJ joint replaced because the seal blew out on it but I seem to be the only one that has had this freak occurance happen to them, seems as though factory alignment has been eating the inner most tread of my tires even though they are rotated about every 3,500 miles, and the little bit of rust behind my back bumper supports.

 

Do you miss the low end torque at all? I mean aside from doing a 5000rpm clutch drop in the EVO, both cars taking off normal is a decent difference.

 

Miles: ~8000

Only problem so far is the paint. The paint is very high maintenance and is forcing me to really learn how to detail the car right. I haven't had any clutch problems, no rattles, no tranny issues, nothing. I love the car. It's like driving a F-16 on the road. There is no way to truely describe the experience other than driving it yourself. This car is amazing, and I'm still stock. Can't wait to put a few upgrades on and really open her up.

Crappy interrior, lots of squakes

 

Crappy interior compared to what?

"Squakes"- never heard of those. I have however. heard a few people mention some minor "squeaks".

 

Just under 11000 miles...Bought EVO in March. No problems. Still get butterflies in my stomach every time I get behind the wheel. Awesome car.
