More concerning is CSC failure– how many miles on car? Have had to do eventually on all my cars – RX-7 twice. When replaced is it good for the long haul?
The clutch jitter is the biotch of a concern for me as can be really annoying. Reading forum previously, it almost sounds like a particular car is “born w/ it” or not. WTF? IMO a car this sophisticated should not have aftermarketish clutch/plate issues – period. Been there, done that.
So what else? I really want to know about the quality of this machine as I plan on a long relationship.

Even if you get a bimmer or audi you will have problems here and there. CSC failure will be covered under the powertran warranty. Steeling lock issue has bypass fixes. Fuel starvation can be avoided by not leave the gas tank empty. Manuel transmission on this car is not that smooth but you will get used to it. Try auto and see if you like it or not. We don't know what your expectations are. But I am happy with mine. It's a sports car. Noisy, bumpy but fun to drive. My next suggestion would be go out and test drive one see how you like it.
