The air conditioner drain clogged, causing the passenger side rug to get soaked. After reading other reviews here, I am glad to know it is a common problem and will not be an expensive fix.
The rear driver's side window slipped out of the track, making it inoperable with the power controls. The dealer re-seated it and it hasn't happened again.
The fuel pump fuse blew a couple of times in the 15,000 mile range. The dealer couldn't find a problem causing it and just gave me some spare fuses. It has not happened again in the 30,000 miles since.
Never having owned a "performance" car before, I still enjoy the power and handling that comes with it. It doesn't get the greatest pickup from a stop, but once you're moving 30 miles per hour or so, you'll be leaving all those ricers in the dust.
Other than the minor problems mentioned above, I have had to do nothing other than regular oil changes (about every 5,000 miles.) Again, since I've never owned a performance car before, I was not expecting the tires to be worn out by 40,000 miles, and they were not cheap (~$135 per tire) to replace.
Depending on one's driving record and location, the car bay be a bit pricey to insure. Well worth the extra cost, however.
After almost four years, I have no major complaints about the car at all. Highly recommended.
Well, this seems like the best place to update my own review. The bad news is the car was totalled in an accident (not my fault, yay!) a few days ago at just under 66,000 miles. The things I had to fix between the original review and then:
Front left tie rod end and hub assembly needed to be replaced. I don't know when they went bad, but it started eating tires like mad. It may have needed some other suspension work too, as the ride was not as smooth as it once was, even after those repairs.
Another window mechanism went out, and needed the whole internal assembly replaced. I never got around to doing this, since for the $400+ the dealer wanted for that was a bit much, so I just put up with the window slipping down a couple inches.
Something went wrong with the windshield washer, causing it not to spray well when I hit the washer button.
The glue holding the inside rear view mirror in place failed during one of the very hot summer days when the heat index was around 110. I replaced it with a regular mirror since the auto-dimming one was garbage - the lights from behind me had to hit the sensor just right for it to darken.
Overall, no major complaints during the 5 years and 66K miles I had it, and I'd still recommend the car.
