PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FILLS WITH WATER (OVER ONE INCH!) IN HEAVY RAINS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I DETERMINED (MECHANICAL ENGINEER) THAT WHEEL SPRAY FROM REAR TIRE PENETRATED POORLY SEALED BODY SEAMS ON PASSENGER SIDE. TOOK DEALER FOUR TIMES TO FIX EVEN THOUGH I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM. I SHOWED APPROXIMATE AREA OF LEAKING AT FOOT LEVEL ON RIGHT LOWER BODY AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDOW! NEXT TIME THEY SEALED THE FIREWALL AND FINALLY TWO SEALANT PATCHES WERE MADE IN THE AREA OF ACTUAL LEAKAGE. TOTAL OF FOUR TRIPS TO HAVE FIXED. STILL SLIGHTLY LEAKS IN THE HEAVIEST RAINS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS.*AK

THE SEATBELT STRAP EXSTENSION IS VERY LONG WHILE CLOSING THE DOOR THE STRAP WILL GET CAUGHT UP INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *AK
- Power train › Manual transmission
TRANSMISSION RATTLES IF IN NEUTRAL, WITH CLUTCH PEDAL NOT DEPRESSED. WHEN IN FIRST GEAR, WILL OFTEN POP OUT OF GEAT WITH A LOUD SOUND. DIFFICULT TO CHANGE GEARS FROM 5 TO 4 AFTER DRIVING FOR MORE THEN 30 MIN IN 5TH GEAR. PLEASE NOTE THAT I'M IN ONTARIO, CANADA, POSTAL CODE K1N 9M5, SO STATE AND ZIP INFOR IN THE FORM ARE NOT CORRECT.*AK
