As the title says just state whatever you hate about your car.Follow the format I made.
2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT 5spd.
*Jeremy Clarkson Voice*
The gear box is rubbish. getting into 1st and 2nd is abit like a virgin trying to find the hole.
The suspension also rubbish feels like a cadilac. Also the turning radius is ridiculous.
The cup holders are in the worst spot they could be right behind the gear lever.
It's heavy
It's slow.
Not the cheapest car to modify
It has a blown O2 sensor which has thrown the car into open loop causing it run rich.
Blown idle speed motor which causes the idle to bounce upon down much like a 16 year old girl on a trampoline.

Everyone assumes it's cheap and slow just because it's Korean. Yes, stock tibs are slow. Mine's not stock -- it's not a 700whp supra either, but it's not exactly a pushover.
Another myth is that all Korean cars are cheap. Newer Hyundais aren't cheap. Cheap in price, yes -- Cheap in quality, no. I've had virtually NO problems with my Tib, and the few small problems i've had have been covered under a great warranty. I don't see why it's so damn hard for Hyundai to get respect when their cars are out there going just as strong as Japanese competitors. It's just an old stereotype that probably won't go away unless Hyundai impresses with their new RWD Tib coming out soon.
edit: one thing i really hate about it is everybody asks me what kind of car it is because of the Tuscani emblems.

-The chalky faded paint is more embarrasing then being called "Hampster"
-There are absolutely NO shifter bushings left as they've desentigrated. The owner of this car must be cheaper than than James May's(the third, less known about top gear co-host) taste in women.
-the manual steering rack makes parking harder than racing with the Stig himself.
(okay, enough top gear talking)
-it's stock
-the brakes squeek
-Mazda colored in the red box under the suspension condition and I have nothing to compare its ride to so I don't know how bad it really is.
-its winter and I have to warm it up for about 4 or 5 minutes(rotary) before I want to go anywhere and most of my errands are just up the street

My car has been in the shop getting built for about 5 months now, 2nd test drive from a roll, the car toasts a brand new stage 3 comp-clutch from a roll in 3rd gear, and peggs out the boost guage. So far that is what I have about my car, more to come im sure.

I hate that my car didn't come with underhood and footwell lights, but car based on my same chassis (Ford Probe) did. I also hate that the '93-95 Probes came with the lights that faded out after you closed the door and none of the 626's didn't. Well, except for the last body style. Or that if you have a couple of bad engine mounts and a heavy right foot, you can split the transmission in half if you launch hard and have wheel hop. That's about it. I love my car though.

everything for it is cheap so im tempted to spend my rent on the car because of how much i could do with 1 rent check :)
headlights arent aimed and im too lazy to aim them, they also choose when they will work and when they wont
throttle screw on the carb keeps backing out until it starts dying at stop lights, where is the damned loc-tite?!?!
if i dont time my lane changes just right the sway bar mounts rip up road reflectors.
thats about it for now :D
