You got that right, Carlos.
We gripe about trouble finding a good mechanic and a poorly designed cup holder;
they gripe about . . . well, just check their forums. I think you'll be REAL happy.
A few thoughts:
1. Make sure your rubber is good. Stock Michelins are good, but if you have the stock Conti's, you could do much better.
2. If you are over 15K miles, the steering stabilizer may need replaced; this is cheap and easy, and will tighten up the handling.
3. You can get rid of some door rattle, and clean up the sound of the stock stereo with a pair of cheap capacitors. This makes a filter that prevents the midrange door speakers from trying to reproduce low freq's that they were not designed to handle.
