Pet Peevs about your car

[Dasfinc]

I had a HUGE list for the focus, but after having the mustang for a day, I'll confess my only dis-likes so far:

Where the hell is the trunk release button? Seriously?

No Trip computer, so its hard to calculate mileage/distance till empty.

stock CD Deck does not play MP3 CD's, the focus's did.


I don't mind any of it, because:

The car has the "Retains power until doors open" feature which I've wanted forever

I don't WANT to know how bad the mileage is...

I'll buy a double-din GPS/MP3/DVD headunit eventually

How about you guys?

There's some trim that runs along my roof that won't stay the hell down no matter what kind of adhesive I use. It bugs me every time I drive cause I know how shitty it looks. Fuckin body shop. That and it's slow.

I hate the gigantic armwrest/center storage compartment thing on my Civic.

Overall, my 04 seems MUCH more crowded in the interior than my 98 Civic (which my mom has now). I sit in her car and it's just so spacious.

It's not a very exciting drive

Leaks oil, needs a new wheel bearing, won't hold an idle after depressing the clutch once the engine is at operating temp unless you give it a little throttle, clutch is toast, wheels need to be redone, a couple interior trim pieces are missing under the dash, the dashboard has begun to warp slightly where the sun has made the glue release near the windshield.

I think that about covers it.

i honestly can't think of any. i love everything about it.

ultimate driving machine <3

s2000- the radio is near worthless, the horn doesnt honk when you press the lock button twice, and you cant raise or lower the top if the vehicle is moving at all.

You liar, What about your Clown nose on the rear view?

LOL @ radio, yeah it is. Your legs cover the main speaker so you can't hear shit. Unless you spend $$$ on the expensive headrest speakers, that sound system is indeed worthless.

I understand the top thing though, i imagine it's a safety measure so some retard doesn't try to open it on the highway going like 60+ and the top gets ripped off.

oh yeah, haha. that thing is stupid, but it doesn't bother me enough to consider it a pet peeve :smile:

GM/Pontiac Interior rattle.

Well, Here's the Focus's list:

Automatic
Automatic
Automatic
A/C ANNIHILATED its power, moreso than any other car I've driven
CD player over heated after maybe an hour and a half of use and would stop playing
under-assisted power steering
Big trunk with a small area for entry
Rear seats folded 'flat' but the center saftey belt essentially tries pulling the seat backs up again.
Overly firm ride for being an eco box.

(keep in mind, that was 2 years of ownership, so of course the list is gonna be longish, I'd still recommend the car to anyone in the market for an eco box)

-Pleather(aka Pontiac Leather)

Completely forgot about that one but my loud ass stereo eliminates that problem

Cheap Pontiac interior. Only one heated seat from the factory.

Otherwise, I just got the car back to 100 percent after a long time of: random trunk chime, bad O2 and resulting check engine light, plus getting the interior back together after being broken into and thrashed.

My fucking lighter flew out of my dashboard this morning going WOT 1-2 for the first time since test driving it, gonna need to find my little 'block off' plug wherever the hell that is, I might just get one from the dealer.

I LOVE that it has one in the armrest too for my cell phones, thats bad ass.
