“1.the clock on the dashboard: the time is running almost 1 minute faster per day. If you dont fix it for 10 days, it would run 10 minutes ahead. 2.the drivers seat: when I purchased this car, I asked for power seats but the dealer didnt have it. I was a little uncomfortable with the manual seat, but the sales person convinced me, so I decided to take the one with manual. Since then, ive felt that the drivers seat is always sinking down so I consistently have to pull up the stick to push up the seat quite often while im driving. …”
