What I do notice however is that in a extremely hot day or after driving it for a couple hours continuously, it shift much more smooth. The shifting doesn't seem very consistant as far as the "harshness" goes. When I test drove 2003, the car was normal like any other car... but of course it might be because it is brand new...
the vibration is another thing... hot day vibrates less than cold days, in cold days if I step on the break and give it just a little bit of gas (within 100 rpm difference), the car becomes really smooth. I had my injectors cleaned w/ new air filter and it still vibrates, then I check my motor mounts, they seems to be in working order, my next move is going to try a new fuel filter... Any other suggestion or am I asking too much smoothness out of this engine(designed this way)?
