Pros:

Agree with above and would like to add....

smooth 5spd

Cons:

I want more torque. Im just used to driving a 6 cylinder and i miss the "throw your head back" action when u stomp on the gas. I have to say though, it isnt bad for a 4banger.

Theres a freakin squeek and i cant identify where its coming from...i think its where my driverside seatbelt connects to the rails of the seat or whatever- who knows....

thats about all i can think of...other than that this car kicks ***. it has tons of potential and is amazing right outa the factory.

I will have to agree with you guys on this one. There is to much plastic in the engine bay, but i painted almost all the plastic a gloss black so it looks better. the gearing could have been done a bit different so that 2nd gear wasnt to slow and to where we could actually benefit by using the 4th gear in auto-stick mode. Everything else about the car is great though
