Radio has poor function with very low volume.
The air conditioning compressor locked up. Extremely expensive repair cost.
One of the brake lights blew out randomly.
Front Dash has started to crack minimally after 131,000 miles.
Washer fluid system stopped working since I purchased the car.
Bad handling during wet conditions. Back end will swing out from behind you in both stopping quickly and accelerating quickly.
Performes very well in dry conditions. Tight handling, short throw transmission, and all around fun to drive in respectable driving conditions.
I am sorry to inform you that the bad traits you have mentioned go with 1) a 15 year old used car, and 2) the wet pavement syndrome is from owning a short bodied sports car, I recommend learning to feather the clutch when on snow/wet pavement. Unfortuantely I learned that early on with my 86 300. However there is the upside of chewing everything from 5.0 litre mustangs to Z-28 camaros though.
