just blew my transmission on my way into work today. original lasted to 305k. It's been to cali, vegas, florida six times, texas, new york twice, and chicago about 30 times. Regular maintenance did the trick (transmission flushes every 50k) and sucker only burns between half a quart and a whole quart of oil in 5k miles.
I recently bought my mitsubishi just to have as a toy but looks like ill have to start driving it more often.
