.... and some more. " ... magnesium shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel". The shift paddles are mounted on the steering column not on the steering wheel. There is a difference between the two setups.

I you have any concerns in this respect, it drives and works very well in every day situations. No kidding. Testimonials from tens of owners are on this and other forums....
Even though I drive one every day, I still read the reviews and check the forums daily.... Let the blog begin...

Finally, there is a review by expert in MSN Auto.
 
But I think it is more like a specification introduction.
 
Pros and cons are like jokes. And this guy still seems to be suspicious about Mitsu's cars. And probably that is the reason he only gave 7.0, while RAV4 and Mazda CX-7 are 8.4 and 8.3.

Those guys are lucky to be paid reviewing cars; don't know how anyone can call that a review, it's more like writing down the specifications. Anyone with a "C" in English 101 can do a better job! And for whatever reason, he came to the conclusion of giving it a 7 out 10 without pointing to any deficiency or what he felt justify giving it that score.
 
I am off to do my own expert review tomorrow when I take one for test drive . It's always interesting to see experts giving something a low score yet real owners give it a far better score (maybe the owners don't know what they are experiencing - )

"experts" are paid to do reviews, either by Mitsu or the competition. And they have their own biases too. You can tell, especially if the review starts with how Mitsu is financially struggling in the US, that alone tells you right away it's a crap review. Why can't they just review the vehicle, and not the company? Owners on the other hand will give high ratings because they are happy with their purchase, and the vehicle performs far better than they expected. I always go by an owner's opinion, because they own the car, they'll tell you right away when the product is crap.

A quote from the MSN review:
 
"But thick windshield posts partly obstruct visibility when taking corners"
 
That's why they are called EXPERT Reviews.....

I most likely drove the car for longer than this "EXPERT" and the A-pillar never obstructed the visibility for me.
Go figure.
