I do like the car very much. However, I do have a few issues. My complaints about it are the shitty milage, lack of power, and the monsoon stereo sucks. My 03 got 27+ mpg. The 04 gets 20. The 03 did sub 15 sec qtr miles before any mods; the 04 may be just under 16 sec if I'm lucky. And the Monsoon stereo is just aweful; starts distorting at half power. The Bose could go to the max with the bass all the way up. The headlight issue is actually funny to me. I brought my 03 in 5 different times just because of the headlights. They were absolutly useless, wouldn't shine on the street, were uneven, and the bright shined strait up
. The 04's lights do shake, and people still flash me their brights because they think I'm flashing them, BUT, holy cow, I can see at night now
. I'm not going to fix them because I'm too paranoid that they won't work right afterwards.
What I like: the handling is phenominal, as well as the brakes. The looks (the outside more than inside). Fold down rear seats are great; the 03 didn't have them. XM stereo is very cool. The tap shift is a neat toy although I hardly ever use it.
