my car is only a week old, but i have some opinions already. im a pessimist so let's start with the bad...

BAD:
1) cracked leather on new seats
2) stained leather on new seats
3) 14.3 mpg
4) lack of real low end torque
5) pixelated navigation screen

GOOD:
1) technology
2) power/exhaust
3) styling
4) LED taillights
5) AWD traction

i could go on with more positives, but ill follow the guidelines.

Coming from an Acura, I think the paint quality is pretty decent. In fact I forgot to put my baby in the garage last night and apparently a freakin' cat clawed it's way to the top of my car. There were claw scratches on my rear quarter on the driver side, but luckily they were just on the surface and I was able to get them out. Something similar happened with my CL and it wore those faint scratches forever.

^^ a cat used to walk all over my acura tsx, but there were never any claw marks, just the dusty prints it left. maybe your car is so silky smooth it needed to use claws?

Like:
1. Exterior and interior styling
2. The sport suspension that handles amazing but also soaks up bumps with ease
3. The stubby, short throw shifter
4. Price
5. The fact that it is still a luxury car when you want it to be

Dislikes:
1. Unrefined 6MT compared to other cars in the price range
2. Doesn't have the same prestige/respect of the German brands (if that matters to you)
3. Could use another 30 lb/ft of torque
4. Wish there were more tire selection in the stock size
5. A little more back seat/trunk room

The "likes" outweigh the "dislikes" by a factor or 10 to 1 for me... I LOVE THIS CAR!!

Either your seats are defective or you are REALLY hard on them

-Interior design
-Exterior design
-Modding potential
-Technology
-RWD



-Squeaky breaks in reverse
-Not enough torque (SC will fix that)
-Small trunk space (not really an issue though)
-08 aluminum door cap scratch easy (got 09 washi door cap to fix that)

This car is awesome the the dislikes are so minor that don't even matter.
