The MR 9s are all-around very nice cars – decent torque and power from the factory – smooth handling – easy to build power with minor mods – etc.
The clutches are weak because Mitsu would prefer blown clutches versus blown transmissions from new owners. I went 42,000 miles with bolt-ons before replacing the clutch. If you drive easy and don’t mod anytime soon your clutch should last for a little while.
Other than that they are very reliable. I'm at 67,000 miles - runs like a Swiss watch.
Oh, my side rear marker light bulb has burnt out!
