History:
Car has been driven responsibly by me, the single owner since new in July 2009
Maintenance records available, car maintained to Severe schedule
Car has participated in one NASA HPDE track day, Group 1. Aproximately 80 minutes of 7/10 driving.
Car has participated in about 15-20 SCCA/ AmericanAuto-X events. Approximately 5-6 minutes of 10/10 driving each.
Car has done about 5 launches, but zero on new clutch.
Car sees about 400 miles/ week of commute driving 5:30am-6:30am and 7pm-8pm.
Original Brembo Rotors, front pads replaced at 40k, rear pads replaced at 60k. Plenty of pads remaining since I do mostly highway driving.
Original rims, sway bar, air filter, antenna, cat-back exhaust available.
Additional OEM Catalytic Converter available with <10k miles on it.
Front license plate has never been installed and there are no holes in the bumper.

The Bad:
Cosmetic damage on hood and bumpers as shown in photographs. It has never been in a collision, but it has an above average amount of dents due to being parked in Downtown Berkeley/ San Francisco.
Car takes 3-4 seconds of cranking or two 1 second intervals of cranking to start, but always starts.

This car has been a blast to drive for the last 5 years, but as I'm now in my 30's I think I need something a little more grown-up. It's also a shame to put so many freeway miles on a car that is meant to be driven enthusiastically. I'd love to sell it to somebody who will continue to take great care of the car and race it once in a while. With some coil-overs and an E85 tune, this will be an absolute track beast. I expect the motor to be good for another 50-60,000 miles, at which point you'll probably want to put in a stroker with a bigger turbo. Even without the wing, this car still gets a large amount of attention, but in the 5 years I've had it I've never been pulled over or cited for a traffic violation- maybe because it has no wing. I have collected about 6 tickets from meter maids for not having a front plate, but it's worth the price to keep the front end looking great. If you have any concerns about the state of the car, I'm happy to put you in touch with my mechanic or take it to your mechanic.

No Test Drives.
If you're serious about buying the car, I'll take you for a drive.
If you bring a cashier's check, you can drive it before we sign documents.

Car is being posted for sale on Craigslist, AutoTrader and EvoXForums.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673

Fri, Apr 9 2021

This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.

Long-serving Mitsubishi president Masuko to step aside

Fri, 31 Jan 2014

Long-struggling Mitsubishi Motors is reportedly preparing for a changing of the guard at home. According to Reuters, Osamu Masuko will step aside in favor of Tesuro Aikawa, currently the company's managing director. Masuko won't be leaving the fold entirely, however - he will take the role of chairman, displacing Takashi Nishioka, who will resign. The shakeup has not been confirmed by Mitsubishi, but word is that the changes will take effect April 1.
Mitsu's US troubles are no secret, but the brand's struggles in its home market haven't been quite so publicized. The company was bailed out by other arms of the Mitsubishi empire, and it just raised $2 billion this month to buy back preferred shares that were issued during the bailout. Masuko served as president for nearly ten years, during which the brand's US efforts utterly stalled out, recalls cropped up in Japan and an alliance with Daimler (which was DaimlerChrysler at the time) disintegrated.
According to Reuters, establishing the kind of alliances that will allow the brand to grow, such as its tie-up with Renault-Nissan, are key to Mitsu's long-term success. The thought is that an alliance will allow the brand to come up with some innovative models that won't be compromised by its lack of production scale. It looks like Aikawa has his work cut out for him.
