Fed up with my evo

I am fed up with my evo. I really didn’t want to take the hit, but I feel I must get out while I still can. I have had nothing but trouble with this car in the 1500 miles I have owned it, and am going to trade it in this week. I really enjoyed participating on this board, and have learned many things in my short time here. I will most likely go to carmax. Any suggestions on how to "jazz up" the car before I take her in? Anyway, just though I'd let you guys know that this evo fan has finally had enough

Man that 1500 miles is going to cost you about 5-6k. What is so wrong and why can they not fix it? Take is somewhere else, call mitsu, go lemon.

1st, 2nd, and 5th gear grinds
mild piston slap
noisy tob
steering wheel shake
decel noise and clunk
9 DIFFERENT INTERIOR RATTLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (THEY ARE THERE EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR)

and to top it all off my car is SIGNIFICANTLY slower than other stock evos I've driven

They just blow me off. If I try to get something fixed they play the "abuse" card. I just don't have time for it anymore.

Sounds like a lemon. I am surprised that you can not do anything through mistu to get your money back or at least a new car

Clearly you got a lemon. For someone who is so ****, I'm surprised you won't pursue it. Drive someone elses Evo, you'll see what you are missing.
