I can't complain yet, she turns over no prob and warms up like a champ. The handling in the snow is "ok" ... but thats due to my all seasons ... as for sounds... none, I can't say I hear anything different. I due wish there was a windshiel wiper light tho, I travel so much on a daily bases I just top it off when I get home from work now.

speaking of tires, 4 season tires are the worst to drive in, manufacturers, to save a few bucks they put it all in one package resulting garbage.
not alot of ppl konw this, but it is HIGHLY recommended to have 2 sets of tires. 1 set of winter tires and 1 set of summer tires, thats the optimal performance/safety way.
like i said, all season/ 4 season tires are the worst u can get.

I agree 100%..but then I've preached the snow tire thing a few times now *L*. I have a set of 15" steelies with dedicated snow tires - car handles great in the snow.

plus side= it turns really well even under -25c compared to my 03Galant w/c makes a grinding noise in the motor.
-minus side is = too stiff ride (oh well I guess its RA) LOL I'm getting too old for this.

Extreme 571 yeah I get the cracking too it's sumthing like the roof is too cold and lost a litlle flexibility in the plastic material I think.
And yes 4-season tires are the worse I keep sliding all the time and I've already visited 2 snow banks since the beginning of the winter because the handling just doesnt compare with my 94 cavalier with winter tires. Yes i guess it's hard to believe.

The interior seems to make noise, not a real issue. It is a car. However, the rear bushings are horrible when it is cold. They squeek, I mean squeek alot really loud Mitsu is looking into a fix at the moment and will release something shortly they said.
