Definitely the undercarriage design. You think you'll clear a speed hump, but there's a bolt on the manifold that protrudes a litttle underneath and bingo! You hear the horrible scrape.
I have acrually been stuck a few times n had to get help to lift me out. I am waiting for the manifold to full apart. I'll just have to get out and measure the clearance at each hump. I've learned to live with constantly adjusting the seat, cuz if it's not right, it squeaks.

It's what's important to you that makes them "fit" who you are and what you feel is important. My G is WAY more quiet than my Eclipse was. But the Acura TL I drove was quieter and smoother. But SLOW! So what is important, and what are you willing to sacrifice (a little) to get it?
Couldn't agree more. My 04 coupe *** import (to Australia) is great. Lets face it - no car is perfect.We've also got a BMW but give me the 35 anyday. (Trunk could be bigger tho, then there's the rattles, the seats...........) it still turns heads n is reliable.

I hate: The clicking and noises from the sway end links, the rattles inside the car, the gas tank and how I cant fill up to full sometimes, the two tone interior in my car (black seats and carpet with tan headliner etc), the dipstick for the oil, the bose stereo system, and lastly the fact that my leather seats are starting to crack and rip from lifting the seat forward...

That comes from using coarse towels when you dry your vehicle and not waxing often

The one thing I hate about the G, and I think it's something you don't quite realise when you first buy it, is the centre console... If only you could get an aftermarket replacement in aluminium, or leather, or something.
