some issues with my new A/C

[astonius]

So I just got my coupe on Saturday, and I've already noticed a few strange things... are these normal? (keep in mind that the car has only 440 miles on it):

-engine "stutter" when idling/driving at low speeds (not a HUGE stutter, but noticable)-engine seems pretty loud, sounds like it's struggling almost at times when accelerating-an odd "clank" noise within the first few seconds of driving (occurs everytime I drive the car, happens 2 or 3 times, with a few seconds between each sound)-a clicking noise (only happened once. I think it might be an issue that's been discussed here before)-brakes seem good, but not incredible-rust on the exhaust

Maybe I'm just being nit-picky, but when you buy a brand new car you expect everything to be perfect... some of these things I thought might have to do with the car not being broke-in yet. Either way, it should all be covered under warranty, but I wanted to know if I should wait until it's got a few more miles on it before I worry.

My engine purrs beautifully...I'd look into a stuttering idle.The clank is the ABS system check...It's normal.My brakes grab with authority.

Rust is stupid....easy to clean up though.

I have had my car for almost a week and I've had no clicking, clunking,clanking or stuttering.

A lot of these items have been talked about a lot...like the ABS clunk. Search a bit more and I'm sure you'll find some threads with related posts.

your engine sounds loud? i think its normal, ive heard it told that the QR is a loud engine, i cant remember too well if mine ever was, but i seem to remember it being pretty loud for a I4. you should be fine. as for the rust, get yourself a cat back. rust gone. (thats what i'd do)

Haha, I'd like to get the Catback, but I can't really afford it... plus I didn't really buy the car to fix it up too much (if I wanted to do that I would have gotten the 3.5 ). I'm thinking some new wheels and tires and some decent window tint will be enough for me. Thanks for letting me know about the ABS!

the clicking noise - is most likely a loose cotter pin on the hub assembly, it will eventually drive you nuts, I promise.

The 2.5 is so much louder than the 3.5

NISMO ftw!

yo yo yiggidy yo! I was surprised by how loud the 2.5 is! Keep in mind that it can only get louder with a SRI!!!

My only regret now is that I didn't get the super black.... I really wanted it, but all they had was white and silver. I was also a bit upset at myself for not getting the premium package, but after seeing what you got for the extra $3,200 I deemed it not worth the cost. To me, the convenience package sound system is pretty good (although the lack of a basic MP3 cd player was LAME), and heated leather seats are just a tad overrated. (Sorry, sometimes I have to reassure myself that I made a good decision, haha)
