OzOne of the three twins I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace. ** Posted fromhttp://www.teranews.com** Yup, and I live in an area that requires AWD big time. It's a key reason why I chose the Evo over a Cayman S or Exige. I like a car to be a full time toy and an Aston Martin just can't make the grade on these twisty roads in the snow....or even in the dry compared to an Evo X. R. |

BTW I had a small problem on that drive, the AYC went into limp mode and I really noticed the difference before I noticed the warning light. I'd managed to shake a connection loose in the computer. Mitsu sent a guy up from 400kms away to replace the part at my hotel but they only had a part from a demo car. They contacted me later and replaced the part with a new one then a letter arrived saying they had analysed to computer and found that it was a faulty connection...they'd never had the problem with any other car..lucky me!

I'm reading the forums every day and very few owners are having problems. That's even more impressive since many have tuned the engine up to 370 WHP or higher. R. |

You need to get off the Information Super Highway and try a real road trip. |
