THE DESIGN HAS A PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT ON MANY WEBSITES LIKE EDMONDS,... THE WIND NOISE IS VERY ANNOYING & DISTRACTING. ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH ALL THESE CARS IS THE WHEELS THAT CHIP & PLATING COMES OFF OF THEM AFTER A WHILE.

DURING LOW SPEED BRAKING. THERE IS A BUZZING NOISE/VIBRATION COMING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I AM PRETTY CERTAIN, BUT NOT 100% THAT WHEN THIS NOISE IS PRESENT, MY BRAKING ABILITY IS DIMINISHED. IT IS A VERY UNSETTLING FEELING WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WITH GREATER FREQUENCY. *TR
