Hi all! My Name is Sean, I bought an 09 EX35 in 2015 with 70,000km on it. I was looking for V6 wagons & small SUVs & didnt like the lack of room in the EX35 but it was a great buy & good example so we got it. The main characteristic I disliked was it's tendancy to do a bad side to side wobble when hitting a medium to large bumps with the front end. When I was looking for new summer tires I went to a great aftermarket place in Ottawa where I matched a set of FireHawk Indy 500s to it for was less then spec tires & had it aligned, setting slightly more toe & camber in the front then spec'd. This is when I started to love this car! The handling improved greatly, these tires grip so fierce, the 5speed gearing lets you haul ass from starting to 260 kph (actually took it to that) & it stayed put in the road. So I have done the brakes, but am having a problem with a front rotor that is warped & has a dimed sized rust spot where the warp is. I have to do the exhaust soon & got catalytic converters for $400! I really need a full exhaust & recommendations are needed!! Thanks Sean
