Here is what i dont quite fancy about the Lancer:

1. Switching to Aux everytime i start the car.
2. How the avg fuel and speed data resets. I prefer to monitor my fuel usage by the tankful.
3. lack of lumbar support for the back on the ES seats. Anyone selling their RA/VRX seats? LOL
4. Handbrake position, but i got used to it now.
5. Small glove box. The owner's manual itself takes up so much of space in there.

I would have never thought of that. . . good advice there

I'd have to say i dont like the thin paint is my major problem. having a black car and white undercoat its really noticable but hey.

I don't like that you have to hold the power window buttons for the other windows instead of it going up automatically like the driver's side.

Has been said before but:

Uncomfortable seats in the ES. Just something about them isn't right and I find it really hard to get a comfortable position.
Sportback... because everything sexy needs an ass!

No wrong with the shocks. Get them pretty often. Never had them that bad with a car.

Yay! Other people find the ES seats crappy too! As well as small glove box and middle compartment. Nothing for the passenger to rest their arm on.
