We all like our car(s), but there are things we can’t stand about them.

Heres my list:

- The transmission is awful, gearing is way too short & it’s really notchy.

- The steering wheel is tilt only. I have long legs.

- Squeaks & rattles, squeaks & rattles, squeaks & rattles, squeaks & rattles, squeaks & rattles.

- The hood shakes. Over tiny bumps, on the highway, etc. I have adjusted the bump stops until is barely closes, it still shakes.

- The blue tooth hates my phone, I won’t connect for its life.

- Canadian spec SV’s (SV is mid trim US spec)= US spec base model. The SV’s up here don’t have: I-CON, heated seats, satellite radio, 5" display, blue tooth audio, & key-less ignition. So my SV would be considered less then a US spec base model.

BMW uses a slower steering gear ratio on their AWD cars so I’m often cranking the wheel a ton compared to even boring econoboxes.

The steering feels good especially with the suspension upgrades I’ve done but there’s a lot of wheel turning.

It needs another gear because the fuel economy absolutely blows.

The steering recently has been a little wonky. I don’t know how to describe it, but it doesn’t feel right.

the ride quality. the Ranger Sport had the biggest wheel-tire package offered from the factory, and it crashes over bumps and frost heaves in the road.

It’s beige. I would prefer black or maroon.

That’s about it, really. My only other pet peeves are any little details that might distinguish my 150,000 mile example from a new ones, i.e. tiny dents or the missing lower grill valances.

My biggest pet peeve about my Mustang is the placement of the parking brake handle. It’s on the RIGHT side of the console, which means that I don’t have the natural leverage to pull it straight up. Of course, the mechanism is designed to be pulled only in a vertical direction.

So that means I have to lean over and pull it, or risk doing so at an angle, potentially wearing out the mechanism. It’s already shaved off the rubber dust flap on one side from doing this. Sadly, there’s no mirrored RHD console available that could remedy this for me.

So the Hood things are a Nissan thing.

When I first got my Pathfinder I thought my hood was going to flip open every time I encountered a Semi. That was a 700km ride home on a 2 lane Highway.

I stopped often to check if it was well closed.

transmission a CVT or a Manual?

The transmission actively FIGHTS ME when trying to get into 1st or 2nd at anything more than a dead stop when the car isn’t yet warm.

The radio has a touch screen, and it works like shit. I touch a button, it flashes, no reaction. I touch it again, it flashes and beeps, still no change. I FINGER BANG THE BEJEEZUS OUT OF THE SCREEN, it finally does what I want.

I must seek out ethanol-free gas, or listen to the fuel pump chirp like a field full of crickets.

Jaguar - There is no customizing or useful information in the gauge cluster LCD. Have to use the touch screen for everything.

Grand Cherokee - No Mute button, 16 spark plugs with recommended 30,000 mile change intervals (yeah right!), MDS cuts to 4-cylinders when under 3,000 rpm and it can’t be defeated.

The Amanti - Clock can only change one direction, so I never set it back an hour.

For the Catera:

The heater fan doesn’t work.

The passenger side heated seat doesn’t work.

No heated steering wheel.

No speed sensitive wipers.

Not enough power for power on oversteer.

Mediocre automatic gearbox.

Needs steering rebuild. (Tie rod ends, center link, idler arm)

Could use front struts and top mounts.

You have to pull the rear exterior door handles just right or you are denied entry.

Only cigarette lighter in it is in the rear and my usb adapter likes to pop out and lose connection, unbeknownst to me.

The fuel economy is the same as my E38 but has around 100 less hp and tq.

The center brake light and trunk lights are LED and only partially functional.

...I could probably go on.

For the e38:

The fuel tank leaks and needs replacement.

The fuel pump quit on the highway and needs replacement.

The rear end needs new bushings. 1/2” of play in any direction when jacking up car and pulling at 12+6/9+3 on the tire. Incredibly unsafe over 60kph, and was going through a set of used tires every month.

The heater blower stopped working 2 years ago.

The AC stopped working 3 years ago.

My former work partner is an inconsiderate fuck and slathered black caulking all over the passenger side interior.

The things that hold the doors open wore out. The door closed on my leg and broke the sill plate clean off.

It still loses coolant despite replacing literally every part of the cooling system.

Rear wheel wells and bottom of doors started to rust. Ground it down to bare metal, primed it. Rust came back.

...I could probably go on...

Mines a manual. I once had the hood pop up driving over train tracks, the latch caught it before it kissed the windshield. It was a major code brown.

For me it’s 2nd & 5th. I have to apply pressure to the right to go 4-5, or else it will go into 3rd. Some times 6-5 it will jump into 3rd, that pushing straight forward with no pressure to the left.

Okay. Thinking hard here.

A little throttle judder occasionally from hard acceleration from a stand still on very cold days.

Touch screen on radio not very responsive on those cold days also.

Most manuals hate the cold. I have a similar squeak. Nissan did not put in enough insulation under the dash, so it rubs on the windshield. Thats a common problem on early Jukes, that was fixed a coupe years into production.

2015 WRX

The sun visor does not extend. This really really bugs me.

No clutch feel.

The spacings between gears in the gearbox are really inconsistent. I sometimes accidentally shift from 3rd to 2nd or more commonly 5th to 4th. Then ALL THE TORQUE.

Its impossible to crawl along in first gear, you go for as long as you can and then it starts jerking forward like an impatient puppy on a walk. MUST. GO. FASTER. NOW.

And actually to be honest its impossible to do much of anything in first gear except get to second gear. The combination of a drive by wire throttle and the way it is programmed and some really short gearing make for a bad time.

The drive by wire throttle itself. It feels like its applying 90% power when I have the pedal pushed halfway down.

* not my car pictured

The boxes that hang down from the top are REALLY annoying if you’re putting a cooler or something tall in the trunk.

I’m not a fan of the low beams on the headlights. The high beams are fantastic, but the low beams have bad coverage in my opinion. Part of me wishes I sprang for the limited and got the LED lights. Oh well. While this one is my fault I do wish Subaru would’ve included a much better (read: safer) low beam for their more frugal customers.

* not my car pictured

I do not have fog lights on my car. I have these bezels and I think its a really ugly way to cover up where the fog light would be.

The paint seems to be really really fragile.

The exhaust drones around 2000-2500 RPM. I’ve had the comment from people that “your engine sounds weird...is it supposed to sound like that?”

The center console “armrest” is not an armrest. I think you can buy an arm rest extension so it can function better as an armrest, but that seems...like an afterthought to be honest (puts tinfoil hat on: oooooor they designed it that way to squeeze more money out of customers)

The horn is weak. (really scraping the bottom of the barrel here haha)

All in all I still love the car so much. Its a part of my life, and I don’t plan on changing that any time soon.

ETA: The factory tune on the engine includes a torque dip you can feel around 4500 RPM and it never quite picks up the same momentum from before. Power and torque then drop off steeply from about 5500RPM to its 6700 RPM redline.

The one that really bugs me is that the power antenna extends anytime the head unit is on, not just when listening to the radio. I almost never listen to the radio, so I’ve been tempted to just unplug the antenna, but it would also bug me for it to be non-functional, even if I don’t use it.

2016 Mazda 3- if you turn off the engine you turn off the radio. Stinks when you get home from work but you want to hear the end of a song or radio segment. I don’t like idling and wasting gas, and I don’t feel like turning off the engine and the cycling the start button to turn on the radio.

- have to lay down rear seat to get golf clubs in

2004 Honda S2000- the seats sit up too high. No room for me between the seat and the steering wheel.

I think the squeak has to due with the massive (like 2"x2", it has 40 or 50 wires in it) connector that Mini used for the headunit. It’s normally fixed in place to the back of the headunit but the factory system in my failed so I have to use a ridiculous adapter for the aftermarket unit. I think it has gotten caught between stuff under the dash and is now squeaking.

Your squeak reminds me of another weird thing my car does. When it is cold out the dash seems to contract. As the interior of the car heats up eventually you hear this cracking/popping noise at the base of the windshield. I think the dash contracts just enough to pop out of place until it expands again.

2005 toyota avalon.

Cool right?! WRONG, guess who’s car didn’t come with one, and it costs 45 dollars for a new one.

AND I wish it had another gear. Cause a 5 speed ain’t cutting it. 80 mph at 2500 rpm

2004 Passat Wagon 1.8t 4-motion:

•Entire car suspension groans over speed bumps (likely just the shocks)

•Something squeaks (A/C fan?) when turning left at full lock

•transmission has a bad habit of kicking really hard randomly, but particularly down hill... (If you’ve ever popped a clutch, it’s kinda what it feels like. Except it scares the shit out of me)

•Blinker clicker clicks randomly sometimes (and won’t stop for a while)

•front left upper control arm bushing is shot, meaning semi-constant groans unrelated to anything your doing control wise

•Thing eats CV Boots like a mofo

•Its either leaking oil or eating a ton of it (90% sure it’s a slow leak, thank god)

•everything is super hard to replace or super expensive, or usually both

•brakes are spongy, even after I replaced discs/pads/fluid

•Thing also eats tires (a set every 25,000-35,000 miles)

•Awful road rash. Rest of car is relatively pristine paint wise, but that front bumper has been chewed to (comparative) shreds

•has Dual exhausts and yet they exit behind the bumper... (No exhaust tips)

•Car sits a little to high, and is just a tad soft

•I hate the black plastic cladding

 •lack of aux port (I get it was 2004, and designed in the 90s, but ugh I wish I had one)

•Not a W8

•Not a stick

•Roof rack is discolored (well so is most of the trim but I digress)

•Needs a 6th gear (seriously the manual has a 6th gear, and yet the Auto only has 5?)

•If I fixed everything immediately after it happened, I’d (well and my parents to a large extent), would be making a car payment a month to keep it on the road.

•Brake hubs have a ton of surface rust (while not bad performance wise, it just looks bad)

•so many nooks and crannies in the engine bay, if you drop a bolt and it falls out the bottom, you know there is a god, cuz it saved you 2 hours of peaking around until you say “fuck it”

•Besides some basics, the aftermarket external body kit is either non existent or extremely ungaudy, or out of production. (Tho the aftermarket for the mechanical bits is pretty great)

•Every part has to come from middle of nowhere America (usually Texas), or Germany.

Otherwise I love it and I never want to get rid of it. A list of the things I love would be three times as long as this. And most of this is just a result of it being 12 years old, and me being young and poor and being unable to afford anything beyond basic maintence. And I’m blessed to have a early 2000s VW with nearly 0 electrical gremlins (The only one being the blinker).

2009 BMW 328i Coupe

Premium only and gas stations gouge on premium fuel imo.

I’m used to it, but wife hates the heavy steering.

Is it really that hard to make it to where it tells you which exterior bulb is out instead of just bonging at you and saying “oh hey you have a light out but I can’t tell you which one because you didn’t get nav you dirty peasant.”

The seatbelt helpers don’t work.

The front and rear wheels are staggered so you can’t just buy a set of 4 tires.

Solstice

SUPER hard shifts unless I double clutch when it’s really cold out, say -20C or -30C. Also the steering pump screams for a few seconds. That’s remedied now as she’s a summer-only garage queen.

To pull down the top you have to get out and pop the trunk. I had to practice that emergency top-up procedure for a long time, and a few times I just let myself get rained on as I was too close to the destination

Road ride quality could be better. Almost feels like the tire is always out of round, there’s this vibration I couldn’t completely get rid of.

BMW

Mine didn’t come with the split-fold rear seats.

BMW wanted several thousands for the ability to play music via the Bluetoooth.

Mushy shifts. I’m thinking this could be remedied with a different shift linkage. Really got used to the solid, metallic, and mechanical shift feel in my Solstice (when it isn’t cold).

Too much sound deadening, I had a hard time finding my shift points when I first got it. I don’t like staring at the tach all the time.

Slow push-button ignition. I’m MUCH faster in the “get the fuck out of the train station” race in my Solstice with an actual key.

(2010 Honda Fit) If I connect my mobile phone to charge using the USB port in the glove compartment, then the phone no longer plays sounds through its internal speaker. So if I want to use my phone for navigation, I have to unplug it to hear the directions.

My transmission upshifts too early and hunts around too much.

Neither front door will automatically unlock if an occupant pulls the lever. This doesn’t bother me at all, but it tends to confuse my passengers. One has to manually flip the lock, or I have to hit the unlock button.

Very slow power windows, the rears squeak, and they all get smudges after once or twice up and down.

Rough ride, but I guess that’s to be expected with lower profile tires.

You can’t push the wiper stalk up and get one wipe, you have to pull down to intermittent and push it back to off again. Not a big deal, I just don’t like wearing out whatever that little piece of plastic is in the stalk that you push past that clicks.

The side mirrors are small, but I have that gripe about every car, I like truck mirrors.

If you accelerate past the transmissions usual shift point, it takes a while to shift into the next gear after you’ve let off the gas.

Rough shifts sometimes, usually low speeds.
