If you are into modding you can almost build an entire car out of aftermarket parts and the parts are readily available from all over the country. Takes very little, if anything, to make one look good. And with the right parts they are FAST. So why would you bash a car that is good in so many ways?
I hate them BECAUSE of the reasons you posted.

First of all, the fact that everyone has one makes them uninteresting to see modded, and less individualistic. Even really clean ones bore the shit out of me just cause I see Civics all the time.

Seconds, The cheap to buy, fix, mod, etc. is another reason it's just not interesting. It's harder to respect someone who basically bought a Lego of a car for nearly nothing and put one of the millions of readily avaliable parts that were easy as hell to track down, afford, and install.

-Takes very little, if anything, to look good- yeah, once again, no respect, you did less work, so how should I LIKE your car for that, secondly, looks are an pinion, I think most FWD cars look like shit because of their offsets and fender sizes, and wheel sizes (in proportion to car).

The fast thing goes with the respect, it was too easy to make it fast, so I don't really care.

Just to add to the list of bad things:

FWD, never really a sports car nor ever intended to be. It's a grocery getter with good MPG and it's trying to hard to live outside it's own status bracket. People just starting MAKING them something fast, and with enough support that could happen to anything.
