1. I hate that it's so good looking that I look ugly in it
2. I hate that it's so fast that I gotta drive it slow most of the time
3. I hate that it's so rare that no one knows what it is.
4. I hate that it's a rotary cause it's so smooth
5. I hate that it's never broke cause I hear its so unreliable.

I hate the 3k stumble so I put in a PFC\
I hate the silent sufficating vacuum sounding exhaust so I added a full exhaust
I hate the high waters ride height so I lowered it with some nice coilovers
I hate the skipping cd player so added a nice stereo
I hate worrying about the reliability so I stopped worrying about it.
NOW I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MY FD

1. fear of engine failure. That be coolant seal, or apex related.
2. damn plastic parts
3. the lack of aftermarket non performance related components (see OMP)
4. good mechanics are far and few in between
5. the fact that FnF basically ruined the FD experience. (If you owned one prior to FnF you know what I'm talking about)

I've had mine for 9 years and had some boost problems that I fixed with hoses and some relays, and it finally needs a new clutch, but other than that it's been very reliable. I autocrossed the crap out of it for 4 years, too. Guess it might be that I've never modified the engine or turbos.

1- It looks old
2- The interior parts
3- The paint
4- It needs to be driven above the speed limit all the time or else it feels terrible
5- It must be modified and when modified it is always full of problems

1- trying to reach things in OEM engine bay with big hands + with few tools I have
2- taking 5 things off to reach item you need to work on in #1, almost everytime.
3- lack of cheap readily available used replacement parts, ie- you need a parts car.
4- thin plastics on padded interior parts ... ie- A pillars, door panels
5- thoughts of premature seal failure everytime something out of the ordinary happens (this will diminish over time, I'm sure)

1. I hate listening to people talk about how unreliable it is.
2. I hate that is so much fun to drive
3. I hate having to drive it slow except at the track.
4. I hate being able to outrun most v-8s.
5. I hate that I don't have three, a daily, a track beast, and a 3rotor show/fun car.

In no particular order:
1. I hate the cheap finishing materials.
2. I hate the lack of good mechanics to work on 'em.
3. I hate that you can't get any good mods anymore unless you happen to get in on the one-time group buy and want to wait 6 months for the product.
4. I hate that parents buy this car for their 16 year olds as a gift for getting "B's".
5. I hate that the ownership base has gone from sportscar and track enthusiasts to dragging, drifting, and VIP poser style.

where to start lol..... this ones going to be hard. just go with the simple ones
i hate the plastic defroster grills on the dash
i hate how easily dentable the car is
i hate that they double wall the rear panel so you cant hammer dents out
i hate the door handle although they are very hard to unlock without a key so theftsafe
i hate how exspensive FD parts are.

1. It needs a paint job (faded), but I don't know whether to just do vintage red again, or another color.
2. I am jynxed when it comes to cd players. the bose one crapped out, bought another one off ebay and it was dead on arrival (go figure).
3. Just about everything under the hood (except the engine, knock on wood) broke within a month of buying the car. clutch safety switch, ast, alternator, starter, oil pump, etc.
4. I hate that every ******* riced out civic and cavalier thinks that I really want to waste my gas racing their 88 hp havin ***.
5. I hate that the car has become a MAJOR part of my life. My fiancee calls the fd my "other woman." sometimes I think my fiancee is the other woman though, cuz I take much better care of her!
god I love my car!!!
