I have a mishimoto radiator. At idle the highest I get to is 196 F then it drops down to about 185 F. While driving I’m usually averaging about 178 - 190 F if I’m not in stop and go traffic.
Pros: stable low temperatures

I do have the Mishimoto triple pass rad but it was similar with the stock one.
Cons: performance similar to stock
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza WRX STi
Two months ago I installed a Mishimoto radiator. Now im consistently mid 190's, temp goes to 205 regularly, and then fans come on and cools back down.
Cons: higher operating temperature
Mine bolted right in, no issues, and works spectacularly.
Pros: easy installation, spectacular performance
I have a mishimoto radiator and it never gets up to operating temperature, so the engine runs too cold (really bad). I had to put in an air dam to get it to warm up in 15 minutes.
Cons: engine runs too cold, never warms up
Vehicle:
Acura RSX
Replaced with a mishimoto and never looked back...
Pros: no issues since
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mishimoto is okay but it's fucking massive and requires more disassembly of the front end of the car to stuff it in there.
Pros: acceptable performance
Cons: massive size, difficult installation
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
I put a Mishimoto rad in the R53 on the same terms as you @whalemingo - and only learned of Mishi's QC decline after I put it in the car. So far, it's been just fine.
Pros: so far, it's fine
Cons: QC decline
Vehicle:
MINI
