poor outgoing sound quality on calls made with bluetooth. Six speed manual transmission will not downshift into 1st gear unless car is stopped. Will not downshift into second unless below approx 5 MPH. Causes undue force to be applied to the shifter and I find myself to be in the far left reverse gate.

Upon acquisition, discovered water leak into trunk and driver side tail light had condensation inside. Repaired tail light seals which eliminated most of the water leak. A 2nd water leak was discovered near the top left of the trunk dripping from a seam. The rear glass was removed in an attempt to discover the source of the leak. No leak detected under the rear glass. The leak into the trunk continues, but is only a few drips at this point and is manageable, if the source cannot be determined.
