Hmm.
1. Rear deck rattle
2. 3rd gear synchro
3. Turn signal fuse keeps blowing MOTHERF*U*C*K*E*R!
4. Ride on ground controls w/stock struts (though it could be worse)
5. Choice of sheet metal for the 7th Gen Civic is wayyyy too ****ing thin
6. Metal shift ****
7. Hard to go in reverse with e-brake on
8. CD sometimes getting stuck when I want to eject it
9. Passenger-side window won't go up sometimes or goes up too slowly
I don't care, I <3 my car. There is no better attractive FWD coupe on the market and I wouldn't change the exterior color for a free paint job unless I could repaint it the same color it is now.

Rep Power: 0 Dirty Dash no matter how hard I clean it
Interior sucks
AC Issues
Windows fogging up
PAINT CHIPS
DINGS
New scratch I found on the side of my car this morning
Would say dirty engine bay, but spent 4 hours cleaning it this weekend
That slot or drawer like thing in the middle console that is useless
The fact that I need to clean my rims every two days from brake dust

Yup, that and my struts are blown, so it's leaking all over my rims, if i let them go 2 days, it looks nasty and makes the owner look like a slob.

Rep Power: 0 front brake dust
getting shocked everytime I get outta the car
CD player shutting off
the rattle that I cannot stop from the Subs
the ricer hop (need new shocks)
how the EBP collects dust
all the lil dents & dings
having to actually push the passanger lock down w/my finger and not the remote
how the A/C always comes on when I put the defogger on
the fact that I dont have a trunk pop
that noise from the right side when I XLR8
THE FACT THAT MY CAR PAYMENT WOULD BE THE SAME EVEN IF I HAD A NEW EVO

Engine could sound better.
White faced gauges should be standard.
Everything else is perfect.

Yeah, most guys here just refuse to put them on their cars and I don't really blame them. I would take mine off too if there weren't a couple of holes in the bumper from the screws.
