Suspension makes popping noise but it will be fixed soon under warranty. Sunroof creaks. window whistlest above 80mph. Clutch is weak. 2nd and 5th gear synchros don't perform well, often resulting in grinding. paint is chipped to bare metal in some places, no optional mud guards available from mitsubishi. Accelerates quickly, handles well. Rough ride but that's to be expected. Fun car, but mine needs debugging and a better clutch.

The only people I have known with trans problems are those who drive incorrectly. Face it, it has a lot of torque (not to mention AWD) and minor driving errors calculate into major problems. This isn't a very forgiving Honda transmission or drag racing transmission... it is a performance driving transmission. As for squeeks I have had more problems with the STi, M3, WRX, and many others.

The most amazing car Ive ever tuned/driven!While the interior is cool to look at its even better to drive in with performance in mind through and through.One might think it is lacking the glitz of the S4 inside but performance is simplicity , lack of performancely useless gimicky devices that just add weight. If you want a car that gets looks this is definitely the car.Ive pulled up with friends driving S4's , IS300's ,STI's and I always end up having a crowd gather around the car while only a few look at theirs. Take one for a drive and see if you dont feel the same!

this car is fun to drive and has good handeling. The engine is other than the clutch and the flywheel. If they were gona put a car out there with that muck horsepower they need a high performance clutch ot they need to put the clutch on warranty.
