Window Noise
 

Well, I have a few problems/questions concerning my '01 Accent GS. While driving i hear quite of bit of wind noise coming from my driver and passenger side windows, even though it is shut. Is this normal?

Another question is the reflector on the headlights, has anyone tried removing them and how did you do it?

Also i seem to be getting poor fuel economy on my car about 25-26 MPG. Is that average for city driving?

The interior seems a bit cheap. I mean everytime i go off a pothole or a bump my middle heater switch falls off.

lastly, what RPM do you manual ppl shift at? i tend to shift at 3000RPM

Ok now.

As for the windows, accents are good for the windows coming out of the track, check that because that is where the noise may be from.

26 mpg sucks. If you are doing alot of starting and stopping such as bumper to bumper traffic then that may be normal.

The interior is very cheap on these cars, they are the equivalent of chevy's cavaleir.

For optimum gas mileage I shift at about 2000 to 2500.

For optimum gas mileage shift around 2000. I myself in my Sentra shift around 5 or 6000. But then again I also don't believe in taking my time to get moving fast LOL...
