Pros: fixed overheating issue, aluminum construction

I've been running a Mishimoto in the racecar for 3 years now with 0 issues and their lifetime warranty including damage during use is hard to beat.
Pros: zero issues, lifetime warranty

I bought the Mishimoto one about 20k miles ago and have had zero issues with overheating or leakage.
Pros: no overheating issues, no leakage
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Mileage: 32187 km
With that taken care of reliability concerns would be pretty minimal and the core itself should be an improvement. I even confirmed with Mishimoto, in writing, that modifying the quick connects would NOT void my lifetime warranty with them.
Pros: improves cooling
Cons: gamble, core leaks
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat B6
I got a bad mishimoto thermostat with similar results.
Cons: faulty unit

2012 Golf R (FSI) and just recently had a Mishimoto radiator installed. Car behaves normally on the road but the first track event after having it installed it got very warm (about halfway between normal and red zone on factory gauge) and actually spit out some coolant under the hood I found once back in the paddock. Shop has checked everything out, re-bled the system and found no air but does start to get hot under sustained boost. Funny thing is I track the car heavily and never had this issue on the OEM radiator, also the water pump was recently changed with timing service and has less than 1000 miles on it.
Cons: got very warm, spit coolant
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
