Hey all,
I still have my 2001 1.7 EL in mint condition, but the handling on the front end just is poor.
1. Sure they replaced 4 sets of struts because they kept failing due to the COLD winter weather in Winnipeg, CANADA (imagine -50°C with wind-chill).
2. The control arm bushings & stabilizer bushings replaced as part of the extended warranty.:icon4a:
3. The new tires (Michelin Pilot® Exalto® A/S) made an improvement in the overall handling, but the front end just is mushy.:icon24:
End result is my handling is horrid.
:icon15: I love my car & know it could perform much better!!!
:wrench: Comments welcome!
P.S.
The combustion hasn't been too hot either.
Fouled Denso plugs (air filter clean always & ALL the basics, etc)
