Biggest thing I regret is getting an automatic.
Also, this car is not living up to what was advertised.. my mpg's are awful (11.8 currently), 0-60 low 6's, went into limp mode a few times just accelerating hard, there's all the carbon build up issues with DI motors, there's the pcv issues, exploding engines etc etc..
Also, I REALLY miss a nice exhaust/engine note.. The MMR CAI helped me with that a bit, but I really enjoy the sound of a V8 or even the 3.7 over this thing.. I was sold on the turbo at first, and maybe if I would of waited 8-12 weeks and gotten a PP manual I might enjoy it more, but I jumped the gun and regret it.

Wow.... What your saying is very unheard of... See I wish I would have gotten an automatic, they are so much faster than my 6mt. Your mpg's? Sounds like something is wrong I get 26 mpg all day long and I get into boost a lot. I really feel if your car was tuned, you would be amazed. It's like doubling the power feel of the car. As for the exhaust note, I get it but nothing you can do about that.

The MPG issue you need to have the dealer looked at it. I average 26mpg if I'm running the car hard and when I just drive normal for a week of work I get 31mpg average per tank.

Update on my 0-60's. Last night I took the car out, had not done a test hit in a while, was 54 degrees out so good air. Nailed probably the best launch on the street I've had so far and netted a 4.8 on my stock goodyear all season's. Really ready for the intercooler to be shipped to me so I can get it on the car.

My dealer is lousy.. they took 3 hours to change the oil and rotate tires.. they didn't even bother to do any kind of check or diagnostic after I told them about my issues and they didn't fix my hood alignment, hell they didn't even look at it..
Sucks too cuz I had a service plan with them.. Guess I'm gonna have to thrash that and take it to another (better) dealer.

Yes for sure, if your getting11.6 mpg you need to demand another car, you are being waaaaaaay to lax about this, and I don't mean this to be rude, but you not enjoying your car is now your own doing. If you are more proactive you can get it fixed or get another one and enjoy the car like 100000000 others who post on here each and every day. 4.7 0-60 is really really fast for a 4cyl turbo and you will blow the doors off the majority of cars on the road.

I work 6 days a week.. technically 5 1/2 (that 1/2 is bs).. so what little free time I have I spend doing anything besides chores or errands. Besides I don't drive my car much.. had it since October 2015 and it's at 3,300 miles.. and it's my DD.. Lol. When I go out with my girl tho we take her car cuz she's intimidated by the long hood and I sure as hell will be drinking so can't be driving.

11 mpg is worse than a tuned GT. I got 34 mpg highway all the time before my tune. even now 25-26

Uhh, yeah there's definitely something wrong with your car. Which is likely contributing to why you're so unhappy with it.
But why on earth have you been driving it this whole time getting 11mpg and thinking that's ok? I can't imagine why you wouldn't take that to the dealer by the 2nd tank of gas doing that to you. Even GTs beating the snot out of their cars get higher.
