Needs new tires, but that is not the car's fault.
Atenna makes an odd noise when retracting and raising.
The speakers in the rear deck are blown, but they were going to be replaced anyways.
I love this car.
I started looking for one to modify sometime ago. It took some time to locate one because they are not often seen for sale.
The stock paint job has stayed in very good condition.
The seats are very comfortable. Back seat is real small when the driver is 6'2 like myself, but, most people that buy sport coupes aren't looking for seating capacity.
Out performs stock Civic and Accords.
I drive the same car as you, and my antenna makes an awful noise when it goes up or down as well. After some deliberation, we decided to unplug it. It wasn't difficult, the plug is directly behind the jack in the trunk. I still get perfect reception with it unplugged, but that may just be the new CD player.
