Not a big fan of the 5spd manual tranny. It is hard to shift to reverse, most times needing to double clutch to avoid grinding the gear. Are we back in the 1940's? The shifting in most gears is not smooth.
Plastic interior scratches very easily.
Crap standard radio.
MPG is not meeting EPA guidelines even after installing a KandN air filter. The less restrictive air flow with this filter has been a boon to the overall performance in a good way. I can "zoom, zoom" in it.
Low impact frontal collision with another SUV (not my fault) resulted in $2300 repair bill. Bumper was scratched but had to be replaced because the black plastic around the fog light is part and parcel of the bumper. Headlight was $385 for the assembly.
First windshield cracked at 3200 miles. In 42 years of driving, 29 cars, this is the first time I've had a crack in the windshield or replace a windshield. $400 for heated windshield.
