It turns out that mine has the opposite problem. The strut extends and stays out. It's done it twice now. The dealer "recalibrates" something, it's good for a couple weeks and then happens again.

Your response is fair and reasonable. Like you I've owned a couple FWD cars but they don't strike me as ideal for performance driving either.

I see that you live in Maryland. There's a number...

Your fuel consumption arguement is reasonable as a factor, but it doesn't alter the validity of the point.
