List 5 things about your car that you love and hate..

I hate all the vibration inside my car at idle, I still feel it at night when I try to sleep.
I hate not having power steering.
I hate how my trunk is impossible to open from outside with the key.
I hate how my left headlight and right foglight go out at the same time.
I hate the clicking while making hard right turns.

It's more of a dislike than hate...

I love vtec.

I love 30 mpg.:lol:
And last but not least I love my mom Happy mothers day everyone!

It's a swap.

[EvlEgl]

How do you not like the walbro whine, I loved hearing that at every stop light it was a subtle way of me knowing my car was working properly. Lol

[06evors]

How do you not like the walbro whine, I loved hearing that at every stop light it was a subtle way of me knowing my car was working properly. Lol

It's just a matter of preference. The Walbro whine is like nails on a chalkboard, which is the main reason I bought a headunit after 6 months of no music. I hate that when you make a car faster it has to be louder. If I had it my way it wouldn't make any noise at all.

[markley02]

Hate:
1. squeeks
2. So much work to change the clutch
3. No matter what you do it will still sound like a 4 cylinder at idle/low load
4. The car makes you feel like a pedifile with all the younger boys that are attracted to it

Love
1. Sound at full spool
2. open source ecu
3. looks
4. ease of more power
5. handling

[2000MRDC2]

Hate:
No Vtec
6500 Redline
the 2 trannys I've replaced already & the fear of blowing another.
the 06 wrx front

Love:
Turbo
Torque
AWD

Final thing is i miss hondas i miss the go-kart feeling, i miss 8000rpms, i miss vtec crossovers. I love my wrx and i would keep it but Im too rough on cars and ill blow the tranny again. (no i dont launch the car)

[Action Park]

93
(turbo beetle, not stocker)
Hate(though it can be passed off as "charm")
1. Not being able to start in weather under 60* with cold engine
2. Taking at the very least 6 5 second cranks to start with cold engine
3. 165 series:) rear tires make all my rear suspension upgrades and the obvious traction advantage of a rear engined car worthless
4. Ca'nt reverse without wheel hopping and stalling(strange tranny mount issue)
5. Single didgit city mpg
6. Necesity to blip throttle every few seconds at idle to clear puddled fuel before compressor
7. Horrid throttle response. Punching it makes the car SLOW DOWN. Racing from a roll is pointless unless I cheat and roll on the throttle early, otherwise a much slower car will have an edge(although this does add to the fun factor of #4 below when it finally does hit)
Love
1. The sound of an open exhaust, open wastegate turbo acvw completely makes the point of any type of radio redundant. To butcher Mr. Ferrari's quote, in a acvw, the engine makes the music.
2. Rawness. No power steering, no power brakes, no abs, no cupholders, manual windows, no heat, no a/c, no defrost, no airbags. Just the essentials
3. The 135 series:) front tires have made for some fun times. Keeps one on edge knowing that your 1800lb car(for a bug, thats heavy) is supported by little more than bicycle tires.
4. The late hit/ kick in pants turbo feel as opposed to the progressive/smooth turbo feel.
5. Never have to worry about a water pump failing or coolant leaks
6. It's a beetle, even a stocker is a blast
7. A beetle is all over the road at 65mph on a windy day. At 110, lets just hope there is'nt a car in sight. Fun times
