I like how stiff it feels.. I use to drive a truck and that thing felt like floating in a cloud compared to my car with it's suspension mods..

I guess having to brace myself for little bumps makes me feel like I'm in some kinda crazy track car and I love it.

I hate how the pedals are placed. If I adjust the seat so that my left foot presses the clutch in like it should, the accelerator pedal is then too close to me. It's so uncomfortable I hate it. Does anyone else have that problem?

I wish I had a power seat in mine, OR better yet, a telescoping wheel. The "slots" in the track aren't spaced "just right" for me. I either feel like I'm too far away from the pedals or that I'm crowding the steering wheel. It's tough for me to find a "happy medium."

im gonna have to agree w/ the guys that say the 2.0 boxer sound. it is sweet especially up in the RPM range w/ an exhaust & a BOV. sweet isnt the word for it! but the frameless windows kinda suck. my driver side window is gettin off track. worrying me a lil bit. late

I like how when I hit 100+mph I get an automatic alert from my passengers side window seal telling me to slow down with a loud whistle noise


hahaha


I like the traction in everyday driving, and passing all the slow pokes when it's wet out.

I have that issue too. If I sit in the recommended position where I can fully depress the clutch pedal while having my leg still slightly bent at the knee, the brake and throttle pedals feel too close. If I adjust my seating position so the brake/throttle feel comfortable, it feels like I almost have to shift myself forward in the seat and then extend my leg all the way out to get the clutch to the floor.

I've gone with the former for now. I'd rather have good leverage and control of the clutch and just deal with the occasional sore right ankle. Maybe our right legs are a bit longer than the left?

All you guys are wrong, your favorite thing about your car (mostly the wrx's and sti's) is the peolple who ask you dumb stuff like "why is your radiator on top of your engine" or my personal favorite "hell ya spin the tires". Just thought i'd add my two cents.

The most common question I've been asked is, "Have you caught any birds in that thing?"

I've fooled around with the DCCD a little bit in my car and I didn't really notice any changes in performance.

I like the fact that when I push hard into a corner I am not afraid of lossing control.
