Can I see a Pic of this Warping???

Here is a link to a thread here, or just do a search on "trim" or wind noise and you will find lots of stuff.

thanks for all the help guys... still strongly considering. I have alot of $$ in the ES and don't know if I'll be better off, money-wise, getting the GS. But... it's still in the air. Thanks for all the pics guys, definitely some bad rides.

I know a tiny bit about these vehicles so don't think i'm a complete noob. The biggest reason i'm looking into them is RWD. Front wheel drive is just not my bag of chips.

have any of you had any serious problems with your rides? (ex. motor, tranny)

As far as the drivetrain goes-no problems at all. Just routine and scheduled maintenance and away it goes! Knock Wood!

For the money, one of the best used cars you can lay hands on really.

well, it may still be 6-8 months before i decide... but i'll be browsing these forums to get ideas

Thanks for all the help once again

My tranny question is only based on the fact that i've put one in my ES already... and i got ripped
