no matter how careful you are, the middle of the wing is bound to smack into the antenna - then the wing gets all jacked up then you get mad at the fact that you spent over $27000 on a new car and this crap is happening.
then you get in and blitz away and forget about the jacked up paint, the wing anomaly, the windshield wiper metal discoloration (it's a garaged '06!!!!), some intermittent creaking sound deep behind the dash, the super cheapo factory floor mats, super duper car without a turbo gauge, center console lights dont match the instrument cluster lights, momo steering wheel wrapping is incomplete at the inferior aspect, keyless entry??? wtf is that crap???, no xenons - huge disappointment Mitsubishchi!!! , okay i'll stop here...for now...

Scratched front bumper (pulling into a parking garage I scraped the driver's side front lip)!!! Rock chips in the front (not too many and not too bad). Freaking steering wheel vibration from pad deposits on the front rotors (I've bedded the pads and I still get this...had the rotors shaved once by the dealership...gonna have to have it done again).

As of today: Boost leak. Front lip loose. Rattle from DP hitting crossbar. Don't know when, but sometimes my exhaust hit the driveshaft joint, grinding the piping. Rock chips on hood and front bumper. Rock chip in windshield (thanks to lving in the desert full of tiny rocks and construction on main street on the way to work), windshield is only 14 months old since I replaced it last. Scratched rear bumper with a "bulge" in it from TWO hit and runs. 2 dings in doors, one on roof, one clearoat "mar" I need buffed out on driver side door from ANOTHER "tap and run" last night but at least no ding this time. Fading ****ty paint on wing and mirrors. Tranny and/or T Case whine a little, not sure if it's normal. Heater knobs all jacked (aren't they all?) CEL from test pipe, P0300, and EGR.

And finally, NEEDS A REALLY LONG LIST OF UPGRADES

That enough for you?

EDIT: I forgot to mention the peeling Brembo's and one curbed wheel, others chipped, need to change springs, possibly blown front pass. side strut, AND NOT EVEN CLOSE TO PAID OFF!

Mine grinded the same when I first got my car. I always had to granny shift into 5th. I took it back to the dealer and they found the synchros were off and some gears were bad. Also, they had to flush the transmission fluid because it had a bunch of chippings in it. Well, they rebuilt my transmission (covered under warranty) and it drives REALLY SMOOTH now!

I can only think of one thing wrong and I'll fix it soon. Brake squeal due to the idiots that installed my brakes not putting new shims on. Easy fix - gonna do it myself this time.

Other then that 57000 miles, stock clutch, and nothing else but love for it.

Edit: oh yeah - forgot the uneven pad transfer on rotor shake. I blame the stock rotors, which will be replaced with 2-piece RBs soon.
