I feel vibration when I start the engine. The car is 120K, 2000 2.4L. Its like the steering wheel, dash and passenger seat vibrate about 0.5 inches. Any ideas?

I'm by no means a mechanic but I'd start with the motor mounts.
Does the vibration smooth out or at least diminish when you drive v. being at idle?
(I'm at 146K on my '99 LS V6)

Yes the vibration reduces when driving. I got the wheels balanced yesterday.

I think fushigi is right. Each engine mount is surrounded by a bushing that absorbs the engine vibration. Eventually, those bushings deteriorate and the vibrations appear. It's a common occurance for inline 4 cylinders with more than 100k on the odometer. The cost of replacing them usually isn't worth having it done. I've been down this road before as well. But, it won't hurt to ask a mechanic.

Mike - any idea how much it might cost to get them replaced?

I have no idea of the cost. I just know that labor is the killer. Try searching this site for an answer mitsubishi-forums.com
Good luck. Sorry for the delayed response.

Does any one know if there is a difference between the 2 models? I am trading in my 2005 GTS lease (love the car) and am purchasing the 09 SE V6 with sun/sound package. I'm not sure if there is a difference as they are no longer making the GTS version.

You're correct. There's no difference as the SEV6 replaces the GTS.

I've compared the two here...seems like there are little differences - the engine is the same but no blue panel lights or the lovely taillights. It is basically the same interior. How i will miss my lovely gray color and my GTS tail lights. I hate that change but i am gaining the sat radio and the ipod adapter already installed. Lord, how i love that GTS... How can i feel sad about getting a new car?? LOl
