I've spoken to insurance people before...and they said that cars such as our Lancers, commondores, falcons etc cost more because (especially for P platers) they are one of the most commonly crashed cars

im sure i have already said this on the thread but ill repeat myself
the god damn height of the car
its like 200mm off the ground from the front
and as my mates say
dat wheel gap
now the rear is okay, simple lower and your good but the front omg
the wheel gap was the main reason i bought coils

Again...
- lack of rear window wiper....
- lack of front (map?) Interior lights in earlier models.
- lack of capped price servicing for earlier models (I guess that applies to a lot of other cars out there)
- lack of bluetooth in earlier models
- power (yes...of course it could do with more power..so can many cars but the cj seems a bit down compared to many other 4 cylinder cars)
also....113kw? Yeh right....
- air con lag is the worst in this car out of any that ive driven/sat in
- lack of centre arm rest
-

I love the Evo, in my eyes its near perfect but here a some common complaints I hear from whinging owners expecting the ride & comfort of a Porsche

- Turning circle of the moon. Need 3 lanes to complete a U-Turn
- Fuel economy of a medium sized aircraft carrier
- Factory HID's are a disgrace (agree with this one). Seen better light out of a hand held torch
- Bland interior
- Suspension which rattles your fillings out
- Bucket seats are too firm (whut u srs m8?!)
- Brake squeal, brake wear and clear coat on the Brembos flakes off
- Maintenance costs
- Boost solenoid is too noisy
- Road noise

The only thing I don't like about my car is the fact that I let my wife talk me into getting an auto instead of the manual "just in case I have to drive it"........ which she has done ONCE!

Hmmmm.... not sure if that is a problem with the car or me lol ;)
