What do you hate or love about your car?

[debm55]

I like the size of my car and the color. I don't like that the side mirrors have to be moved buy a control button inside of the car. I like to set them myself. I have a Subaru

[Elessar Zappa]

1. Hate the paint job.

A bunch of horses chewed up my car. What I like about it is that it’s reliable and has a manual transmission (2009 Nissan Versa).

[debm55]

4. Still going after all those years --pretty good

[dflprincess]

7. I have a 2009 Honda Civic

I love that it's a manual and the most reliable car I've had. Outside of fluid changes and tires I haven't had to put any money into until last month when the clutch master cylinder had to be replaced. I had the front brakes done too (for the first time) but I class that under routine maintenance.

I hate that it's 14 and it's hard to find new manuals.

[Ocelot II]

2. I love that it's paid for.

[debm55]

3. Me too

[Ocelot II]

12. It's also been almost maintenance-free for fourteen years.

Can't think of anything to dislike about it. Saturn Vue.

[rsdsharp]

17. You're very lucky. My daughter and SiL put 4 transmissions in theirs

before they finally got rid of it.

[Ocelot II]

18. I've never known anyone who had trouble with their Saturn!

I had another one before the Vue, and it was almost trouble-free as well. My only complaint about Saturns is that they stopped making them.

[rsdsharp]

20. Vues were well known for transmission trouble.

We have a 1998 SL2. We don’t drive it, but we still have it. If I could find the damn title, I’d donate it to charity.

[dflprincess]

8. That's another thing I love about mine. nt

[Chainfire]

5. I am on my third Kia and I like everything about it.

[AKwannabe]

6. Sarge. Is my dude!

I acquired him in late 2016. He was 8. Bought and paid for.

Aka my Chevy Jeep…he is a 2008 Hummer H3
Color white.

He has never failed me and we have been PLACES!
From Route 66 in Missouri to the great PNW, to The Last Frontier (on a barge).

We are about to embark on an epic trip too.
Later this month, my friend will fly from KC, MO to Anchorage and we will drive south east on the Alcan, over the Canadian Rockies, down in to Montana and finally arrive back in KC, MO.

Love my rig. Hate nothing.

[debm55]

15. My best car was a Jeep Liberty. It was one that could be used in all conditions. It was 10 years old

. Only problem was I got a disc stuck inside. and on. Big Red was the perfect car. Only thing I didn't like about it was ==because of the height it barely fit in my garage and It had a tendency to be pushed sideways by the wind.

[stonecutter357]

9. lol fuck BP !

[elleng]

10. It's not a VW, and it's not blue lagoon metallic!

Toyo does work, tho.

[cloudbase]

11. 2010 Acura TSX here.

140k on the clock, 2.4 liter 4 cylinder, 6-speed manual, and it still sips gas and pulls to its 7k red line without complaint. Suspension remains tight. It has never left me stranded.

I'm not thrilled that premium fuel is the recommendation, but I knew that when I bought it. It doesn't rise to the level of hate.

[Lochloosa]

13. 1992 Ford F150 Custom. Extended Cab. What's not to love😁

4.9 Liter Straight 6

[leftieNanner]

14. I love that it's paid for

I like the color and it's comfy. Not great gas mileage, but hopefully it will last as long as my last car that traveled 325,000 miles. Current wheels 2010 Mercedes GLK. Hate the cost of maintenance.

[bottomofthehill]

16. My first car with heated seats.

So nice in the winter. It takes w while for the car to warm up, the seats on the other hand, quick.

[debm55]

21. We had a car,can't remember the make, where you could start the car from inside the house and either

turn on the AC or heater. That was a great feature at the time. Don't know if I would us that now.

[genxlib]

19. I love my Toyota rav4 hybrid

It’s basically a Prius on steroids. 2016 with over 100k miles.

Big enough for family trips and work hauling but still gets good mileage. It has held up really well both in condition and style.

Handles amazingly. One time on the interstate, a truck ahead of me lost his drive shaft and I ran over it doing 75 miles an hour. Blew out 3 tires and bent 3 rims but she was steady as a rock. Never even left my lane. A lesser car would have been thrown off the road.

I am sold on Toyota going forward

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. I have a 2017 and I love it!

[2naSalit]

22. Hmmm...

I have two that I keep for different reasons, one is a kind of luxury-ish car and I like the fancy features, including the mechanics but I would get rid of it first if I had to. I was a professional driver for a time so I have demands of my vehicles that may exceed those of the regular driver.

But the true love of my life car is, Spudlette, my '92 4runner with 241K on it, bought her at 100K. I put some restorative work into her in the last two years and she runs so well that the other one has been sitting in the driveway all last month. (It has a pricey problem right now and I just don't feel like spending the cash on it right now.)

After spending a little on Spudlette I am getting a lot for the effort. I've replaced a few things but she has needed the least amount of maintenance of any car I have ever owned. The paint is still shiny and the upholstery is in great shape except for the driver's seat outer edge that I scraped off with my butt heaving myself up into the seat. It has a cover now. I knew she was a gem when I got her and I'm thankful I could hang on to her all these years as the second owner. My only vehicle for over a decade and we lived in the mountains for all of it. Been my salvation in a couple instances and she deserves to be kept up, my heir will inherit her and will probably be thrilled.

[Diamond_Dog]

23. This is going to sound really picky

But i love the simplicity of setting the clock in my 17 year old Corolla. A button for the hour and a button for the minutes. Both only go Forward. That’s it.

I’ve had other cars where you had to look in the owners manual every time you had to set the clock because the process was so freakin complicated. “Set Function button to Function D by pressing it four times (if you can read that small number in the top left of your screen), hold down Set Time button with left hand while pushing function button once for Minutes or twice for Hours with right hand …. “ Just, no.

I love the size, the reliability, the gas mileage, and the simplicity of my car.

[Mr.Bill]

29. I remember that clock feature on my '02 Corolla.

I liked it, too.

[Freddie]

30. My car clock is an hour and 10 minutes slow

Too complicated to fix. If I really need the time it’s on the phone.

[underpants]

24. No sun roof but it's a hybrid.

Also no cruise control. It was a fleet car I bought at Car Max.

[usonian]

25. The pink slip. (Title)

I just paid off the Forester.

I like 'em simple. This has no internet connectivity (which would fail in the mountains anyway, as cellular service is a whack-a-mole game.) But that's why we have cell phones.

I had a Toyota pickup for 20 years. I totally miss the pickup, but AWD on a pickup would have cost WAY more than on the SUV, and I don't have to worry about rain on the shopping.

[doc03]

26. I have a 2006 Toyota Tacoma. Toyota recalled it to inspect the frame for rust

a few years ago. They replaced the frame, rear springs and some other parts. I have made a couple minor
repairs myself. I also have a 2020 Honda CRV that hasn't had any problems. It has a CVT transmission that is OK
but I would rather have a conventional auto transmission.

[Mr.Bill]

27. I like the gas mileage. 2021 Nissan Sentra.

40+ mpg. on the highway. I also like the Smart Cruise Control. It's leaps and bounds ahead of the technology of the old cruise controls years ago.

What I don't like about is it could use a little more horsepower, but that would mean less gas mileage.

[Freddie]

28. Dodge Caliber

2011, it’s the same car the whole time they made them 2007 - 2012. It’s comfortable (I’m short), practical, lots of cargo space and everything works. The bad thing is there’s a major blind spot to my left due to the very thick pillars; almost been in a couple accidents where the pillar totally obscured an oncoming car. I’ve since been very careful and aware of it. It’s also kind of noisy and the brakes squeal. But it’s totally paid for so I’m keeping it til it dies or (possibly) we give it to my granddaughter for her first car when she turns 16 in 3 years.

[CTyankee]

31. I loved everything about my leased car but the fact that it doesn't have a CD player is upsetting.

I have all these lovely CDs, two of which are "albums" done by a friend and my daughter in law. I loved them and being able to pop them in the CD player each time I'm driving. What a loss!

[Blue Owl]

32. Wish mine had the fancy rear view backup cam feature

That thing’s a neck saver and people always appear out of nowhere whenever I put it in reverse

[kacekwl]

33. RUST 2003 Ford Explorer Sport trac.

Love the four doors the pick up bed the 4wd etc. Everything works but the parking brake (rusted in half). Great all around do everything cartruck.

[lastlib]

35. My 2009 Impala has been a great car--except for one little bug--

It doesn't have the little hooks in the back seat that you hang clothes on. I need that. I CUSS Chevrolet and GM a blue streak every time I need it and don't have it. It's a $2 piece of plastic and a screw, and the dealer wanted to charge me $65 to add it! I told him to proceed with self-fornication. Almost enough to make me buy a Subaru next time.
