better fuel economy would be my one thing

with all the tuning shops being able to draw more hp and torque, i hope someone can come out with a tune to stay around current hp but with better fuel economy

Mitsu should have designed a telescopic steering column. I find sometimes I am having a hard time finding a comfortable position in my Recaros. Also bundling up for winter doesn't help either.

thanks for the feedback. I agree with the fuel economy but then again the RA produces a lot of power so I understand why its not as good as a civic.

wouldnt know about the recaros. wasnt able to afford them .

anyone else with opinions?

Def the Teliscopic steering! I'm short 5'7" and still find it too far away for comfort in Recaros with the seat fairly far forward. and no my arms are not short . A height adjustable seat option would be too much to ask I think
Gas mileage of course. But otherwise the car is everything I wanted and nothing I can't make better with aftermarket

We didn't get leather Recaros (heated) or heated mirrors. I can live w/o the leather Recaros...But I would have liked to have heated side view mirrors!

Never cared about fuel economy , I always had and probs will always have a lead foot... but telescopic would be nice, or height adjustments on the recaro...

mine has Heated Mirrors and Sunroof. Maybe its part of a package - for mine it was the premium package.

I would also like launch control, but I"m aware its gonna strain the transmission.
I would've liked to see different rims on the car as opposed to the GTS ones

Most of the things that bug me about it will be taken care of with mods. But S Sport mode/launch control would be nice. I'm told launch control is better on the tranny than say us just launching at 6k.

Telescoping wheel for sure, but how about some nicer wheels? EVO wheels rock but we got stuck with stock gts wheel? Gay
