Some minor squeaks in the console.
The stock stereo is average.
OEM tires (Bridgestone) a weakness in what is otherwise a sports wagon.
Fabulous car. Solid, smooth, quiet and plenty of power from the turbo. Very comfortable seats (firm and supportive). Handling is sure footed and inspires confidence especially in poor weather thanks to advanced AWD. The 40/60 front/back power split gives this car a sporty feel.
I bought this car new well after the model year so I got a very good price. For about the price of a 4 cyl accord I got this car which is no comparison. FW drive is so "economy" (I still can't understand why people will shell out 36k for a FW drive car like the Acura TL). I added a 6 year extended warranty just to be safe.
I also like the fact that this car is not too common (especially in the south). I have seen only one other like it in nearly a year.
Update from original poster: not sure how it turned out "2004" but this is a review of a "2005" model.
