Post why you HATE your car

[Fujito]

I know we all love our cars... but post some things that you don't like about your car.

[abrok99]

its a 2000 forester that stalls out for no reason lol.

i could go on but im not.

[The Captain]

It's slow and should have been rwd.

[jjm4life]

its a constant target for other people to hit.

[Honest_Bob]

I havent saved a single penny since I bought it.

[DPancoast]

When I fix one thing, something else breaks.

My trans is retarded.

Parts are EXPENSIVE sometimes because its a 91...

Other than that, its just apart of being a car enthusiast. I wouldnt trade my experience thus far for the world.

The 4 cam head weight. 70~lbs each head

[clipse97]

There's absolutely NOTHING on it that's cheap to fix or maintain.

The doors are so heavy that they try to squash me every time I get in or out of the car.

Every time it rains, I have to clean the inside of my driver and passenger windows. Those windows roll themselves up/down just a little bit each time the doors are opened and closed -- so the days that it's raining, dribble-dribble, rain-drip streaks down the insides of the windows.

I can't take it anywhere without suffering mild panic attacks that something's going to happen to it -- which has only intensified since a construction sign fell on it a couple weeks ago.

People look at me funny when I get into and out of it, even moreso than they did when I owned my MSP.

Don't wanna go to off topic here but undo one engine mount, jack up engine, change plugs. Lower your engine put the nut back on the mount and repeat with the other side. I think that was the longest it's taken me because the first time I undid both and was a huge pain to get the mounts back in.

Well I have this real love hate relationship with my porsch 914-6. When it's working right I love the car. The motor just sounds sick as hell. The steering is incredibly sharp. The acceleration is amazing and will having you doing 140 mph in not time at all.


The transmission is going to drive me nuts though. I have just about given up driving it for the rest of the year because I just am so tired of dealing with it. I cannot get it into 1st and 2nd half the time. I have to start from 3rd gear.

Also the recaro seats it has right now are the worst. However it will cost me $1600 to get the right set for it.

Then it doesn't have power brakes. Another thing I can resolve with alot of money and fabrication. I don't know about you guys but power brakes just make me feel alot safer.

Then finally I would love to get another 100 hp out of the car. Which is totally doable. However once again it's gonna cost me 10 grand to do it if not more.


The solstice, well the biggest issue with that car is GM service. I am not gonna post again the nightmare they have put me thru but they fix one thing but damage everything around it. I took it in under warranty to have the battery replaced and they did over $2000 in damage to my car. The seats are not very comfortalbe but not much I can do about that really. Also the fit and finish is not very good. Still fin to drive.


The accord, well it does it's job. It gets people around like it's supposed to. My girlfriend wanted a 2 door and it's just the worst idea. Even she now realizes it was a bad idea to get a 2 door. No one can get in or out of it.

[Supraru]

I'll add mine.

-It's old but that doesn't bother me to much
-Decided not to run the ac. The heat inside the car hasn't been unbearable but sucks when it rains and you wanna defrost.
-This car is getting to be to much for me to dd. I need to buy something else and turn this into a full track car not this half and half crap.

My 08 accord does the SAME thing!


-Everyone always asks "is that an STI?"
-Weak tranny
-The EJ20 is open deck
-The cupholder sucked balls

[Fujito]

-notchy 1-2, 2-3 gears with cold start.
-occassional weird idle (1st year production)
-"service required" light for no tpms sensors with new wheels
-frequent paranoia of curbing the volks, someone stepping on my jun side skirts when stepping out of the car, or destroying the jun front lip going up and down a driveway.
-the above fears make me take the train into Philly rather than drive and I go to Philly a lot, so its kind of inconvenient.
-no trunk space

[FocusDude]

I wish I bought a wagon... I wish I would've added a turbo by now!

Otherwise I'm thrilled.

And I like the Escape for the most part. The seats are really uncomfortable, imho! Wifey loves them, go figure!

[rturbo 930]

Rust.

• Lame previous owner mods
• Cheap/ self-destructive interior
• 90s auto seatbelts
• Everyone thinking, especially people that have never owned one, it's a POS exclusively because it's a DSM
