There is rattle present while idling with the air conditioning running. Noise disappears when clutch is depressed. I have an appointment to check that out.
There is a slight tinny sound present at a certain RPM range (same sound as when the heat shield came loose on my older car).
Car is a lot of fun around the corners.
Acceleration is excellent, especially at higher RPM.
Ride can be too choppy at times if you're not into the stiff suspension.
Gearbox feels better than any I have ever experienced!
Sexy looking car.
Sheet metal seems thin (feels like this car may be susceptible to rust as it ages).
Seats are comfortable and stylish.
Assembly quality and plastic pieces are of average quality. There is a gap at the top of the CD deck that is large enough to peek into.
The white background on the gauges looks grey when driving at night in a well light area and does not provide enough contrast to the orange lights in those conditions.
The 140 Watt sound system on my car is adequate, but I recommend the 300 Watt system if you are really into sound (you have to order it as part of a "sun and sound" package which includes a sunroof as well).
I got the "sun and sound" option on my ralliart and I love it. I also love the way my car drives. I hope there will be more after market parts for it very soon!
Heat shield, eh? What is that, the Starship Enterprise?
