I agree with all the dislikes on the fd here. But the thing that I hate the most about The Fd is the amount of fd's in the United States, too limited. I think that every citizen should have one in their garage. No offense to FB's and FC's, but Im mad that they stopped bringing them to the states so early...... On the bright side, The ones who own one or more (FD's), Should throw a party every day you see it!!!!!...... YOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I hate that the value of our cars are not equal or better than a Supra, & the reliability problems we have that make so many guys go to the dark side.

Happy New year everybody!

I get alot of squeaks and weird noises.

My passenger side sits 1 inch higher than the driver side lol

I think its related to the squeaks and noises. I think i need to change my suspension asap.

1) Large steering wheel that doesn't telescope or tilt. I can't really drive the car with a regular wheel/seats as it contacts my legs.

2) That parts in Canada are like 4 times as much as parts in the US for this car.

At the moment it is probably the steering wheel. I'm working on fixing that though.

Worst thing about my FD is the fact that after 2 years of owning it, I've gone through (1) 13B-RE, (1) 13B-REW, and now I'm on my 2JZ NA-T but I've been able to drive it maybe 4 days total between all my visits home to Georgia.

It's basically the dream car that I own, but has barely been able to even drive, and has caused me 10,000 times more headache and heartache than pleasure.

-_-;;

Just the squeaky/rattly door panels, which I'm sure can be toned down with some dynamat. Other then that, I love my FD

I guess that is 3 things, not one.

All in all it is a great car.

X2...x2...x2....I hate the oem steering..
