"Love it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The clutch master cylinder needed to be replaced at aprox 60000 miles. The dealer asked USD 180 for the part and USD 260 for labor. I considered that a joke, bought the part myself from another dealer ($87) and paid 70 bucks for an independent mechanic to replace it. Nothing else has gone bad so far.

General comments?

I love how the car handles. The stock Michelin tires are expensive garbage. I replaced my four tires with Fuzion ZRI and now the car is like glued to the road even on wet road. The audio system is a joke so I replaced mine with a pioneer head unit, polk speakers and a bazooka sub.

I think the car is the best value for the money, I wouldn't recommend it for people looking for a comfortable ride. It's a sports car, not a "boat".

Just wanted to add that my AC compressor went bad at only 66000 miles. The dealer charges around 1000 for that kind of job. I bought a used compressor from on 06 RSX for 150 and paid another 150 to install it.
