"Reliable, but no comfortable at all"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had to replace the inner tierod on the front passengers side and I need a left front wheel bearing. I have also had some problems with the transmission. Third gear makes a little scraping noise ever since I acquired the car.

General comments?

This car is nice and sporty looking, but it could use some help. I can hardly walk after a long trip in this car and that is no joke. The car is very uncomfortable for everyone who rides in it. The engine is also quite loud. The car is pretty quick though and handles descent. Overall I would say that for the money this car is pretty reliable, but nothing I would want again.

Yes I agree fully. I'm 6 ft tall 140lbs. the seats are designed for "fat americans" as top gear would say.

Solve the problem yourself. 93-96 mazda mx3percida gs/rs have the exact same floor plan. take those and put em in a zx2. best decision I've made yet. back hasn't hurt since.
