speaking of broken shocks, during one of the many visits i had with the dealer last year about this very issue, they informed me that one of my shocks was leaking and they went ahead and replaced it under warranty. mind you this was after only having the car for 3000 miles! i'm wondering if...

I was having this same problem all last winter anytime the temps would drop below 15-20F. After what must have been 3 or 4 trips to the dealer, and them not being able to hear the sound because the car was fully warmed up by the time I got there, or the temps were too warm on nights I left it...

Alright.. So there is a blinking light, but no beep? It seems some people are saying there is a beep as well.. I can probably handle a blinking light, or throw some black tape over it, but a constant beep is going to drive me mad. At this point I may just shell out the extra cash and get the...

So I'm planning on picking up a new set of cheap wheels along with some decent winter tires. In pricing things out at tirerack, I'm wondering if I can get away without the TPS sensors. Has anyone went this route? What are the major drawbacks of simply leaving the sensors off my new wheels...

Alright.. A little update.. Since I last posted I've probably been through three tanks of gas, and I'm on my fourth as we speak. I've been going to only "Brand Name" stations and I've been getting around 300+ to a tank, and driving the car pretty hard.. A few days ago, the temps here in jersey...

Alright here's my dilemma.. I've got my speed with about 4000 miles on it now, and for the most part I've been babying 'er, with your occasional bout of 'speed'. Anyway, I read this forum quite frequently and I get the feeling a lot of you guys out there are really stomping on it, and driving...

i'm not complaining about mileage, but simply making an observation that my mileage decreased quite a bit and now has seemed to go back up with a different brand of gas... if i can get more bang for my buck by going with a different blend of gas, i'm all for it..

Alright... I've got a bit of a tricky question for you guys, with a lot of variables involved. I'm looking for some general feedback and any opinions on the situation you might have.. Here's the situation: I recently through a roofrack on my Speed and it seemed my gas mileage dropped quite a...

I have about 700 miles on my speed3, and I've been trying to do my best to baby her, and let me tell you, it's a battle! I'm curious if anyone has any specific advice for breaking in the engine. I've searched the forum quite a bit and haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. What I'm...

I just got my speed3 last week in Black.. I've gotta say it's amazing, and I'm so thrilled to get in and drive it everyday. I took it to the tint shop yesterday, and I must say with 20% on the back and 35% on the front windows, it looks absolutely amazing.. I'll try and post some pics if I get...
