next to a girlfriends they are the primary drain of cash!

Well said, I hate when people say "I sold my car for £4500 and i paid £5500 i only lost a grand over a year" nothing bout the fuel, servicing, tyres, car washes, mods and stupid anti roll bar bushings they had to pay for.

I hate Maintanance :( Brakes etc I wish they'd last a life time :p

Also my exhaust is quite loud which sometimes gets annoying and it always attracts wayyy too much attention which can also get annoying.

A good point though: Girls love the thing!!

1) Bit too responsive around town.... gets really annoying in traffic.... pretty much have to put it in 5th to not be soo ready to fly up the road.....

2) Clutch is a bit stiff and bitey....

3) The fact the sump sits soo low to the ground :homer:

4) Bit too much wheel spin lower down....

apart from that, love the car :)

It's just plain ridiculous - come on, Mercedes etc...now have Cruise Control systems that can actually come to a full stop, manufacturers are developing systems that take an active role in Accident Avoidence (i.e. brakes are applied, steering lock applied etc..)....for hell's sake, there's systems out there that will "Brush the brake discs when wet" to dry the surface of the disc, and systems that keep the handbrake on for a couple of seconds when starting off a hill.

My god, at this point in a couple of years time we'll just need to get in the car then find ways of passing the time while the car does the driving! Minority Report anyone :homer:

What I hate is seeing a monster of a car like a mercedes amg 63 with a 60 year old snobby woman driving it. What a complete waste of a car!

ooh, this has arisen recently - what pisses me off? Old biddy's in their P Reg Micra driving at 30mph on a 60mph Country road...or Rich Daddy's Boys driving around in 56 Reg Mercedes SL500's at 40mph on a 60mph Country road. Seriously, if you're going to drive that slow, get a bicycle...then we have a moving target rather than a moving obstacle

Oh also, people who have fast cars and NEVER EVER put the foot to the mat. And I mean never. There are two good examples of this where i'm from. An ek9 type r and a 380bhp s15 sylvia and neither of these guys have ever been spotted by anyone going quicker than 40 lol.

yeh i hate the wipers too on the motorway, you can buy silicone kit for the windscreen and wipers which means you dont have to use wipers when doing such speeds. the rain just rolls off. i have yet to buy them tho they are in demon tweeks etc



i hate ----- the stick my car gets for being an auto, and the fuel it drinks but then i also love showing ppl up in my car coz i have nothing to lose if im expected to lose? :p
