I have had the same DSM, since day one of being a DSMer. I have had the urge to sell and switch car manufactures more than once, but I’m glad that I have my 1G. I do plenty of preventive maintenance and every summer it has been a reliable “daily” driver. Not to say that it doesn’t brake, but anything I drive, will brake because I will beat on it sometimes. But for the cost of the car and what it is, I still have fun and still can beat up on other performance cars. I know I don’t have the fastest car in the DSM community, but I like to balance reliability with power. And for a DSM I think I have done O.K.
So I say keep the car, make it fast but keep it reliable, YES it is possible for a DSM to be reliable. I think we all know that. DSMs break because they are pushed to hard and because most are getting old, so put a lot of new parts in them and don’t drive it like you stole it when you are just going to the store for milk.
