Default What is the biggest flaw with your ITR to date?

The one flaw that comes to my mind is the stock brake fluid, it does not hold up very well- one HPDE and it was done. Honda R&D should have used a better fluid.

Whats your <U>one</U> Flaw you found?

I noticed that too.

As for a flaw... The stock alarm sucks and was a waste of money.

Sheetmetal is too thin, it dings too easily. Other than that it's the perfect FWD car

Single biggest flaw: Being associated (by old people, police, peers, neighbors, etc) with all those motherfuggin ricers that give everyone with a honda bad name.

Paint and sheet metal thickness are on my list. No big deal really.

Paint and body thickness are not a problem for me.. Welcome to the world of mass production ( less material thickness is less money times all those cars ).

I hate the stereo system.. Big time... For such a loud car it should have got a stereo with punch..

Better motor mounts would not be under appreciated either..

I hated that the black plastic on the dash and the interior scratched to damn easily. Finding a new scratch on the dash would drive me crazy! Yeah, I know I'm **** The worn armrest thing bothered me t00.

the biggest flaw on the car is not tangible (ooh big word ). i'd say that the biggest flaw is the added stress added to your life by owning this car...paranoia galore!!!

kepani-who thinks the tangible part of the itr is just right!

not really a flaw, but an absence...i'm surprised nobody has mentioned the jdm only front-end yet...along with jdm recaros, my R would've been "perfect" out of the box- even if they held back on the 16 in wheels and the other 'jdm only' goodies

Exhaust manifold too heavy and a bit restrictive
Pain gets easily scratched
Emblems are theive magnets
16x7 wheels should of been offered

i don't care that much that we got jipped on appearance thing such as the front end -- the fact that we have a crappy exhaust manifold and a few other performance parts irrates me though.
