And the cig lighter doesn't work. Other than that the car is awesome!!! Anything I need to look for? the cars got 50k miles I paid 16900. Its all stock. And one more thing after driving it I didn't warm it up so much and my dad drove it but sucks at stick. the car was real shaky like jumping back and forth when he tried to drive it. So I said get out and I drove it home but i did notice that the car shakes when it's on like u can feel it shake inside of the car. That was only after his attempt of driving it.

The lighter not working could be because this is a popular point to get power for add-ons. So, while you have the counsel out for the sprayer switch, check the lighter wiring.

As for the jerkiness, this is probably normal. The car was designed to go fast, not for great drive-ability.

not starting an arguement just my opinion:

i drive my car everyday and my car rides absolutely perfect and smooth. i would say your statement is pretty incorrect, the evo is perfect for great drive-ability... it depends on the driver more than anything... im on the ACT HD 6 puck also and its still pretty smooth after i figured out its grabbing point...
