The headliner above my head (drivers side!) squeaks and when you push it it really squeaks. Does anyone else have this problem?:confused: Please don't say "don't push it", it squeaks on its own as well.

Haven't noticed mine doing that, but I'll certainly give it the push test next time I'm in the car.

Mine is developing an under-dash rattle on the passenger side, though. Sort of a bummer. I'm hoping this car doesn't turn into the rattle-trap that my '97 TBird sport was. :rolleyes:

I have also started to notice several little rattles. Mostly from the center console I think.

My only complaint so far is excessive understeer at 100mph. :)

Well, I haven't, uh, done much cornering at 100 MPH, so I can't say. Last weekend, though, I was downtown dropping a friend off at his place when I saw a bunch of cop cars leaving the main office. I guess a meeting let out and everybody was late for their coffee shop appointment as they all took off like bats out of hell. No lights or sirens, but clearly they were racing each other and having fun.

Anway, there's an on-ramp to I-15 from downtown Salt Lake City that has a fairly sharp corner but is still two lanes wide. I ended up racing this unmarked cop car up that onramp and around the curve. This was early AM hours and nobody else was around. The officer seemed like he wanted to play so I risked it.

We flew up that onramp and around the corner. I took the corner doing about 85 MPH with his poor Corsica way the hell back there.

Once we got onto the highway I throttled back and let him pass me as I didn't need a ticket for doing 100 in a 65 zone. As he passed me he had a big grin on his face and gave me a little wave before he took off to catch up with his buddies in the marked police cars.

I didn't go WOT up the onramp, didn't turn over 5K because the engine is still pretty new, but the big car felt pretty nimble cornering at those speeds.

It's a fun car!
