Yep good thread.

05 with 9.5k in 6months.

Rippling windscreen seal (not leaking) about to be replaced under warranty.

Only problem I've had is with the right hand pedal -

I find if I press it the car just goes faster and faster.

Anyone else had this?

Dealer says he can't cure it but if I press middle pedal occasionally it will

reduce the effect.

GT MY04 7000miles Mugen CAI, Manifold, Exhaust and Oil cap.

Recently did a fast tour of NE Scotland with a bunch of Caterhams, Westfields, etc. Car was driven very hard. Did the same in Northern France last Sept.

No problems whatsoever. Really excellent car.

Seriously considering putting on grippy tyres such as Yoko A048 Rs.

Only gripe is that the 12 volt socket is behind the driver so I have to have a lead trailing along the transmission tunnel and up the face of the dashboard to power my TomTom GO (great piece of kit).

Seriously good car. Much more character than the new and extremely competent Boxster S I drove recently.

My only problem is that I don't get to drive it often enough

In the first 3 years I had a few issues which were resolved under warranty.

In the next 2.75 (coming upto 3) years since then, no major issues, so I am well pleased

a BIG to Honda - to think, I nearly bought a Mazda MX-5.

04, Berlina, done 3k since March, car now on 15k.

Occasionally pops out of first gear first thing in the morning. Only ever does it after I've backed out of the drive. Will get dealer to investigate.

Otherwise - BRILLIANT! I've even had 300 miles out of a tank of fuel AND I kept ahead of an M3 (E39) convertible yesterday.



I still go out to the garage at night just to look at it.




(I'll get me coat!)
