Just curious how many issues people have with their tibs.. So let's hear it, what annoys you/what do you hate about the tib?
I'll start:
- random interior rattles
- most interior trim panels don't mount too well
- a lot of parts and bolts on the car rust like crap
- noisy (esp. road noise)
- windows rattle when not fully up
- how the rear wheels are too much to the inside (need some spacers)
- clutch operates in the top few millimeters of pedal movement
- shifting gears not smooth
- trunk latch rattles after a while
- mud somehow gets inside behind the fender liners

hmm you hit a few good ones, lets see
at least for me the brake systems have been shitty
may be because i have rims, but the car seems to rattle like crazy while going over bumps
how i cant use my cup holders, every time i shift to 1st, 3rd or 5th i hit my drank
wheel bearings... enough said
lack of aftermarket parts, theres some but not enough in my opinion
how loud my room mate chews and drinks.... sorry that has nothing to do with my tib but i figured id just let you guys know what else is bothering me
thats all i can think of right now, but im sure i can find more

The damn automatic transmission.
The ECU.
Paint is w/e.
Not many complaints really lol. The tranny is the only big issue I have, but that's going to be swapped soon so w/e.

most of this stuff you guys mention only takes troubleshooting time.
my car was loud after the apexi...i dampened the shit out of my interior
driver's side door rattled, i tightened the teflon guides cause they were loose.
but then again, my oil changed take four hours to do cause i check every bolt i can get to.

I don't have any of the above problems other than the paint.
Rattles and interior panels are all stuff you can easily fix yourself.
The other issue I have is the seats, the sheet metal frames that hold the foam SUCK BAD, and break easily.
Other than that...
Nothing really. My car isn't any noiser inside than it was when I bought it. Quieting it wouldn't be too hard if I wanted to, but I like how it is.

- crappy interior panels. rattles are easy to fix, but the plastic cracking is not.
- rear parking brake cables. replaced mine two years ago due to rust, and the boots are torn again. hopefully they don't give me problems this winter.
- window rattle

Yeah, my last ones cracked, but I'm good so far this time. Just in that one spot!
What window rattle, when opening or closing the doors? You can adust that!
