The car seems great, the only think i can think of that i dont like it is the steering. dont get me wrong the car handles like a champ but a tighter steering ratio like the evo or sti would have been nice. everything else is great so far. im completely happy!

Whats with all the rattling complaintsmine is like a rock!

My biggest complaint is the GEAR-BOX/TRANNY. Look at what the GTI and what the new Cobalt SS get! In my opinion it is geared wrong too, I find 1st pretty much useless.

 

[CX-7owner]

They definitly need wider gear ratio's, the engine is all mid-range, not up in the higher revs, I have this same complaint about the CX-7, coming out of a turn at 25mph in second is pathetic.

 

[numbnuts22715]

I agree with the thing about the tranny, longer gears would be nice.Also, the throttle plate kinda bugs me.

paint. It's thin and weak.

 

[Sierra117]

Wrong wheel drive=FTL.

Otherwise, I love it! If I didn't love it, I wouldn't have bought it.

 

[CX-7owner]

I don't like the fact that it owns all the other hatches in it's class, it's an overachiever and I'm quite sick of it.

Don't hate on the FWD. Why didn't you get the the MS6? Besides, FWD's take talent to drive right.

The rattles are what bugs me the most, windshield and seat are really the most annoying. I've had a few issues with strange fuel-cut times but I found out if you control your throttle better (i.e. if you start out easy on the accelerator, stay easy. Start out hard, stay hard) you have better solutions. Other than that, I still love it.

I didn't want something that big. I buy a car, I don't buy an engine. If it was die hard desperate for me to get RWD or AWD then I would have nutted up on the payments, cut back on my entertainment spending, and picked up a Z or Evo IX. However, as far as overall package/price was concerned, the Speed3 won. It was in my price range, it looked good, I wanted something smaller than the Speed6, and really, the only sacrifice I had to make was FWD.
