I feel left out, ha. In fact I feel so left out that I had to quote myeslf.
I'll have to contact my dealer and ask if this is normal. I never heard a car with that noise in 1st and 2nd gear.

my brand new IX has a whining noise (not real loud, but noticable) under acceleration. sounds like a supercharger whine.

Its not the turning radius is just the steering ratio.

I agree the only thing that really bugs me sometimes is the notchy shift gate. The other stuff doesn't really bug me to much.

the turning radius is found from hitting the stops on the rack and turning. the steering ratio has nothing to do with the turning radius.



and yes, the steering ratio kicks ***, but the turning radius sucks.

I have 35k miles on my 03, still have the stock clutch. The throw out bearing does rattle every so often. I know the clutch is on its way out because it's starting to engage pretty high.

My car seems to be picky with gas. It drives well and makes better power on Shell. I've tried 76, Chevron and AMPM. Never will do AMPM again. 76 fairly good, kind of weak on Chevron.

Other than that, I don't have any complaints about the car.

+1 for me too on the bad drivers. People seem to think that EVOs were made to do 6k clutch drops. Retards.

There's actually a TSB on that. It's super easy to do at home, just pull off the a pillar and put felt on the edge of the inside, problem solved.
