That couldn't be much further from the truth. The company has had endless faults with their vehicles and sooooo many recalls. It's common for ford and GM to recall stuff, not common for toyota to do it. Mitsi is well known world wide for producing substandard products. This is not limited to the 4g63. The one that made it famous was the ABS systems on the gaydm galants that prevented the brake pedal from being pressed, that caused a number of crashes in NZ, and no doubt more in japan. The media thought the manager of the company was going to kill himself (jap culture to do so when you have been shamed) because it was uncovered that they knew about the fault and didn't do the recall, further investigations revealed lots of similar situations. Moral of the story, NEVER buy a mitsi. EVER. Period. The evo is the exception in a good way if anything...
