Faults:

Exterior paint and finish are cracking. I am mostly seeing this on the panels that have a direct 'sky view' (Hood, Sunroof, Roof, and Trunk Lid). A top of line paint job for this car with a six year warranty will run you about $500-$700.

The distributor assembly was replaced to correct stumbling and poor performance.

Check engine light comes on intermittently... nothing found when retrieving codes from the computer.

The passenger side window is off track slightly.

General Comments:

Extremely strong engine. No leaks. Lots of power between 4000 and 5000rpm.

Short throw shift kit makes a huge difference over OEM.

Lightweight flywheel install (9 lbs) helps tremendously in overall performance over OEM (22 lbs).

No rust on this car at all.

Faults:

02 oxygen sensor

General Comments:

This car is quick in the 3000-4000 RPM range. However, it's a bit sluggish in the 1000-3000 RPM range.

I would like to install a performance chip. If anyone could help me on this, I would be very grateful.

Faults:

My gearbox started to suck at about 110,000 miles and it's very expensive to fix.

I had to change the water pump.

That's about all the problems I had with it.

General Comments:

I really enjoy riding in it.

Handles very good, but it tends to lose stability on poor roads.

I really like that the boot is big and I can fit 2 30cm subs in it.

In Romania it's still turning heads wherever I go with it.

Faults:

I received the car in near mint condition. I let my little cousin borrow it and he drove right through a huge puddle sucking up massive amounts of water into my ram air intake. Needless to say I'm getting a new engine. Clutch is beginning to slip (129,000 miles) and the rotors have begun to warp.

General Comments:

The car is extremely quick. Although that is fun my favorite part is the handling. There is virtually no body sway, it sticks to the road like glue. Though it's going to be a little costly to get fixed it's worth it.

General Comments:

The body of the car looks great and it is very sporty.

However, it is in the shop more than it is on the road.

The repairs are very expensive and so are the parts.

The car has no pickup, but does well at high speeds.

This car has given me more problems than any care I have ever owned in my life!
