Are there any Major 2009 Sedan problems yet?

Exhaust noise?

VVEL Noise?

I'm kinda little sad that 7 speed auto shifting kinda sucks.

The 2009 4dr sedan's 7A transmission really sucks. In fact I've never had a car this difficult to modulate at low speeds (below 50MPH). This is a nightmare at stop-and-go traffic. At some gear changing points, particularly around 36MPH, the RPM is set too low at 1100 or so and the car bogs a lot. It also surges sometimes at low speeds. But the surges don't happen all the time. When they do, however, it's scary.

I have a Coupe but I find it's hard to keep moving without foot on the gas pedal for the red light, I am slowing down a lot faster than my Camry lol.

I would anticipate most the problems to have been worked out between having the 07/08 Sedan remodel and the engine problems worked out with the coupes.

Does 2009 need ECU reprogram?

My guess is that is why you hear a lot of complaints about the transmission. I don't think they had much of a chance to work the bugs out of it yet....

No complaints here. My 6MT is silky smooth, and I addressed my only real complaint. I didn't like the fact that I could not charge my iPhone, but someone pointed out a small Sosche "PassPort" adapter that allows the iPhone to work and charge at the same time. Problem solved. Now, I just wish I could get through the break-in period.

I am wondering if this feeling is normal ......

When slowing down coming to a stop i feels as if the car is pulling back a bit as if its applying the brakes for me. After it drops below a certain speed it feels like it stops applying the "brakes" and sort of lurch forward/flow more freely a bit (nothing drastic or anything) before i come to a full stop.

So i am wondering if this feeling is normal and is a result of the car down shifting to a lower gear/engine breaking
