Okay I know there has to be a fix for this thing. I have a couple of issues:

1. Cold Start STILL happening in the middle of summer. Someone said this is the VTCS Controller or something?? Well okay but I don't like listening to that go awful noise, and the dealership's response is to just reset the ECU <???> And check customers response.. 9 months later.. Still rattling like hell :-(.

2. Second thing is alignment. Took it in once at 3,000, Said car was still new couldn't make adjustments. Went in again at like 7 or 8k, they said Nothing is wrong.. Well BS.. Car still pulls right. So now we are at 18k, and 20k. I'm scared to take it again because 12k is the top they take for alignement :(

3. Gas Mileage. I'm curious. What is top mileage you are all getting per tank.. How many miles per tank?

Sorry, I dont have any answers for your first two questions, but as for your third, I get about 28-29 miles per gallon (about 345 per tank). Of course Im not totally stock, so YMMV (your mileage may vary).

Hmmm Well that makes me feel a little better, but the thing is.. They quote is like at 450 per tank on highway, Why are we only hitting 350?

that 450 is on the hwy only probly, you have to factor in city driving too..
