 I test drove several Mitsubishi cars and liked the way the car felt.After driving the car for a week I was able to find a number of short comings.The automatic transmission is unresponsive, traction control never engages in slippery conditions, loud road noise, and the car itself feels unrefined.V6 engine has 224 hp at 6250 rpm, but power to weight ratio is 0.045 hp/lb.The car is a bit too heavy at 5005 pounds.My previous car was lighter at 4001 pounds and you can feel the difference.This is my first Mitsubishi car, but I have been looking at them for 15 years.A number of my friends owned Mitsubishi cars and were happy with them.
