I really don't like the huge blind spots where the posts are in all 4 corners. On sharp S curves I sometimes have to look out the side window to see if there are oncoming cars. Its 4x4 status gets annoying too.

I hate that my neon now says dee dee dee due to a drunk bitch?

grambo · Post by **grambo** » Tue May 30, 2006 3:26 pm

*edit* I hate that a guage pod makes the blind spots BIGGER
I hate the incessant "ticking" of the 2.0.
I hated the fact that you could park a garbage truck between the tires and the inner-wheel well.
I hate the sloppy shifters.
I hate that it only has 1.5" of suspension travel from the factory.
I hate that I still owe on it.
I hate that ricers just assume they can beat you cuz your in a Neon. Then you kick their ass. And they tell their friends it was an SRT-4. Pussies.

I love my ACR.

I hate those blind spots too.
I hate the seatbelt in the middle of the back seat. I always get lazy and grab stuff out of my trunk from the back seat and that seatbelt is in the way.
I hate how they only have 132hp and 150 hp (r/t, acr) stock.

I hate how the front R/T bumper doesn't line up with the side skirts.
I hate how the rear bumper for the R/T doesnt' really flow well with the side skirts either

I hate how the front wheel well is shaped

Thats about it... I've grown used to everything else I guess. Gotta love the good with the bad sometimes but those three things sorta bother me when I look at my car. I like the driveability of mine, even if it shakes and raddles I can give credit to the motor mounts for causing that.

On more then one occasion, i have been made fun of by friends because of this. I hate that.

I hate the weird noises my car makes when i give it some serious gas in first gear, then push the clutch in and have to listen to my engine make funny ass sounds while it goes back down the rpm range.

I hate that blind spot in the front drivers area to the left of the windshield.

I hated my stock shifter before i replaced it. I felt like i was driving a truck with such a long shifting throw. But then again, ive only driven manual trans sports cars.

I love my car though, even though the thing makes lots of random sounds and crap.

I agree with damn near everything above! so true about the rear windows and my god the blindspots make fast canyon curves a bitch! I hover the passenger side or stick my head out the window all the damn time! hahaha

Plus one, and add to that the tiny gas tank. I want to be able to go a week without filling up. A nice 16+ gallon tank would be cool.

MoxHair · Post by **MoxHair** » Tue May 30, 2006 4:23 pm

Yes but a 16 gallon tank would add more weight and us performance minded people wouldnt want that.

lol

I hate the Blind Spots and ... thats it

Kevin_GP · Post by **Kevin_GP** » Tue May 30, 2006 4:41 pm

I hate with a passion the front wheel well shape. Everything eles on the car that I hated, I fixed or will fix. But that stupid front wheel well has caused me so many problems.

OB · Post by OB » Tue May 30, 2006 5:16 pm

how exactly might a wheel well cause u problems of ANY kind? im absolutly puzzled about that.

grambo · Post by **grambo** » Tue May 30, 2006 5:24 pm

^The front of the well (where it meets the fascia) is actually higher than the side skirts. It looks odd and just adds to the DCx off-roader look. Thank God for the Aerospoiler/Mopar Lip Kit hahahahaahhaaha.

OB · Post by OB » Tue May 30, 2006 5:25 pm

funny cuz my lip is higher than the skirts too and its pretty good sized. then again, if the front was any lower id be in some serious trouble when i drop the car. I already have to go up/over shit at 45deg angles! CA roads for ya.

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Tue May 30, 2006 9:12 pm

I hated everything about it.. I hated it was a regular Neon then I bought a Neon SRT-4 and I hated it for its boost leaks... shitty oil pan.. and shitty rattling interior..

that gets a little annoying to me too, but that will be taken care of this summer (i hope)

the noises get to me a little, but if you turn up the radio you dont notice them. i too hate the small take. 12.5 gallons, you have to be kidding me, thats barely a 400 mile trip at the EPA 36 mpg estimate (assuming a 1 gallon reserve). a 16 gallon tank would provide almost 550 mile trip capability at 36 mpg (again assuming 1 gallon reserve).

Nick Drake · Post by **Nick Drake** » Tue May 30, 2006 10:15 pm

i hate that i bought an atx, not an mtx.
i also hate that i had to put the stock suspension back on it.

*damn NY potholes.*

ACHEAPSHOT · Post by **ACHEAPSHOT** » Tue May 30, 2006 10:27 pm

I hate the rattle coming from the DS dash on the left side of the steering column.

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Tue May 30, 2006 11:07 pm

i hate how i scrape my front on driveways and im not even lowered yet.
i hate the engine ticking when its cold
i hate how me rear bumper faded, but not anything else on the car.
i hate the no power rear windows.
i hate the fact that my car is a ATx

OB · Post by OB » Wed May 31, 2006 11:28 am

I also hate....
-how high the seats sit
-How the throttle is too close to the center/dash carpet (Heeltoe is impossible in size 12's, so i have to use "toe-toe" techniques

)
-how the center console is too low and the STS is hard to reach.
-how everything vibrates and rattles, especially when its cold.
-The skinny, gripless stock tires.
-The occasional hesitation when on and off throttle.
-My neon's problem of sometimes struggling to start

-The plastic mesh grille.
-Super soft clutch feel.
-The fact that it has rear doors and seats.
-How damn noisy it is on the freeway (way too much wind noise)
-HOW IT WHINES AND I CAN HEAR IT OVER THE MOTOR AND EXHAUST!!!!

now im gonna start a thread about what we LOVE about our cars!
