 I love this car but... I have one 
MAJOR complaint.the rims on this car 
are very susceptible to even the 
slightest potholes. i have had this 
car for less than a DAY, and already 
need to replace a dented/cracked rim 
from a minor pothole i hit. NHTSA has 
had a number of complaints about these 
rims. Mitsubishi is not willing to 
recall these rims, stating it isn't a 
problem, but the interesting thing is, 
why did they change the suspension and 
rims for the 2003 model if the 2002 
was fine? so my advice, is get the 
2003 if you have a choice and save 
yourself from needing to buy $350 rims 
the first time you hit a pothole, 
railroad tracks etc.
