I have a couple of annoying problems in my '03 WRX

My windshield wipers don't work at all over 120 and even at 95ish just sort of smear the water over the windshield.

There is this freakish whine comming from the mirrors, also around 130.

Even though I have aftermarket suspension, handling over 130 is very "floaty" and that makes it a little scary.

Why is the second cup holder so weak?

Anyone elses extended arm rest clip come off?

I find the rubber floor mat under the driver doesn't last a year, but of course you need to order all 4 for around $50.

Does the car come with RE-92's so you can experiance drifting?

All JDM cups are carbon fiber.....and JDM water weighs less than USDM water, so thats why they have weak cup holders.
