Several years back, I forget the site, they had a list of about 15
nit-picky stuff that was outstanding for the 96-97 model but nothing for
the 98 model. After 5 years of extreme driving on my 98 Hatch, the only
thing I have to complain about is the loose panelling around the hatch
door that rattles. Otherwise, the car still behaves like new. The 4 year
hold Eibach springs and Tockico shocks are at 100% (or maybe 95%). It
took me 4 years and about 90,000km before I replaced my Toyo Proxes FZ4
195/50/15 tires... oops, I'm off on a tangent again...
