Current daily gen2 mazda3 skyactiv is hella slow, fwd, and its use of valve stem tpms is a PITA.

99 Honda CRV - Small rust spot developing on the right rear wheel well. It's leaking somewhere in the front so water leaks in and gets the carpet wet. I'm thinking it's something to do with drainage under the cowl. Gonna address it this weekend. And last is that it's underpowered. Not for a honda but for me. Can't wait to add Vtec and boost to it. It's also hard to find parts for.

Berz out.

Please keep us updated on the water leak, well me anyways.
Wife has a MY00 CRV and leaks on the passenger side.
Luckily she has those plastic all weather mats that catches most of the water.

I leased a 135i and I feel your pain. No LSD sucks so much and the "e-diff" or whatever it is called is THE WORST!!!

FA20

Worst low end response and uneven torque curve down low from the DI switch over, but then past 4000rpm :fullofwin:

I thought the F20C is intolerant of low RPMs but damn FA20 is even worse.

Not gonna tune it for the sake of any potential warranty issues.

15' Impreza 2.0i

Been undriveable for 6 weeks and counting :(

ooh...what happened to the 335?

My complain about my current car..

a 99 Toyota Camry don't look cool enough, but i'm hesitating to drop money into it, because it's not worth much

Focus:
Turning radius sucks donkey dick and the gas tank is small.

86
Nothing, puts a smile on my face every time I sit in the drivers seat. Needs the factory LSD rebuilt and the throughout bearing is going which means I need to do a motor swap ;)

Liquid_o2 07-24-2015 10:37 AM

'14 Civic Si
Stock audio system sucks and that it has reflector headlights, can't see shit on a dark road.

Phil@rise 07-24-2015 10:41 AM

1967 coronet 440. 3200 pounds of classic steel with aprox 400hp and the fuel gauge dont work and the damn thing eats thru rear tires. Must be alignment :D

roastpuff 07-24-2015 10:42 AM

2010 Subaru Forester XT - 4-speed auto. Shitty fuel economy.

Who the hell uses a 4-speed in 2010? Damn you Subaru! :rukidding:

white rocket 07-24-2015 10:44 AM

4Runner - horrible on gas, slow (I wouldn't trade for anything though)
ITR - stupid exhaust rattle, kinda slow(a 4 cylinder all motor build isn't very gratifying)
Evo IX - Kinda jerky at part throttle input and deceleration, rattles/buzzing

Phil@rise 07-24-2015 10:45 AM

and no traction control on these wet vancouver streets damn old cars with no traction control

donjalapeno 07-24-2015 10:50 AM

5 speed auto in my TSX.... why not 6 speed Acura?

Fcukedd 07-24-2015 11:01 AM

Acura V6 tranny

yray 07-24-2015 11:04 AM

2014 nissan rogue

Half ass-ed everything.

EvoFire 07-24-2015 11:21 AM

Clunks and squeaks from suspension

SWAS (Steering wheel angle sensor), cuts power when I need it the most.

originalhypa 07-24-2015 11:32 AM

67' Beaumont.
My rear end shifted to the left after much dorifto la~

Now the 275 rear tires are starting to rub. Good thing I am legend at fender rolling.
Also, automatic transmissions suck. 3 speed auto transmissions suck even worse. But spending months of busted knuckles, AND $7500 on a manual conversion is too much right now.

first world problems.

stump 07-24-2015 11:36 AM

The black material around the shifter on the center console is this thin rubber material that can easily be marked by anything sharp like a finger nail and of course it is white plastic underneath so it looks like crap now. My previous model of the same car had the same thing so they didn't learn anything! VW of course.

bcuzracecarz 07-24-2015 11:50 AM

Shi* gas mileage in the city, some rattles and squeaks on the inside... But whatever because subaru

Galactic_Phantom 07-24-2015 11:50 AM

GD3 fit just past 190,000kms. Too worthless/beat up to sell, too boring to drive. Still running strong tho

Akinari 07-24-2015 12:04 PM

Tremendous road noise from barely any sound deadening thanks Honda
Door sheetmetal is the thinnest shit ever and dents under the slightest pressure
Four speed automatic that has zero ability to hold gears and shifts when you don't want it to shift
Hella slow steering rack
Chronic front traction problems as soon as the road surface gets a tiny bit wet known with all Elements without TCS
Ho-hum fuel economy
Handles like a toaster with coilovers would handle
Fucking seat base trim clip on the passenger side breaks and the trim just dangles around, known with all Elements, only Honda sells it and for $630 USD thanks Honda

Otherwise I love my Element :alonehappy: mechanically and aesthetically the car is in tip top shape for nearly 300,000 problem-free kms
