havent bought the car yet, but been researching for awhile...
i dont like how it has bluetooth, but no bluetooth controls on the steering wheel i dont like how it has not even audio controls on the steering wheel i dont like the crappy stock stereo (at least my old s2k engine/exhaust sounded nice which made up for its 1990 accord stereo) i dont like the stock wheels/tires. they look straight off a Corolla S. the rest of the car seems great

I hate that it hasn't and isn't coming out in a targa top (the convertable is freakin horrible!)
I also hate how it takes 15-20min to cool down 41c heat (106f) and that the AC switches off when you put your foot down

Might as well defend a few points here. "Love" is a very general term. Aztec is the ugliest car ever known to man, hands down. Even their owners hate how they look. Last I heard, there are still "new" ones on some GM dealer lots somewhere (despite the fact that it was only made until 2005). The Taurus is your average car. Love is once again a stretch. The new Cadillacs look fantastic, but the Escalade is a behemoth, and despite their add campaigns still tends to be bought and driven by a certain portion of the population. And the CTS-V wagon didn't look that bad--for a wagon. God Bless the death of the PT cruiser. Proof that trying to make everything retro just doesnt work. This car has a few fantatics, but its not loved by the people. Dodge/Chrysler in general made so many duds during the 00's...but I hated the Neon as well. Only reason it gained any popularity was because a bunch of fan-boys discovered that they could bolt on a bigger turbo and crash their cars into walls even faster. Due to their God-awful bright colors, we had a name for them over here--"Skittles." In fact, I don't remember the last time I saw an SRT-4 Neon. They must have all blown up or people realized how much of a POS they were. And the Plymouth Prowler--whats not to like? Its the only well-designed car that came out of Dodge during that forgettable decade. And yes, I saw your :p . I just had time on my hands. |

The stock 2014+ stereo is pretty nice with the touch screen. 300 watt. The tires are actually off a Prius. 201 dollars each the last time I checked. quite shocking these stock tires cost more than the super pilot sport. |

I like your thinking. I've come from some not-so-hot cars...a '95 Kia Sephia, an '01 Mitsu Mirage coupe, and shared an '02 Civic EX sedan. My FR-S is definitely upgrade for me.

Man, that thing is horrible! The Aztek was a cheap shot :p Australia haven't built a nice car for a long time, The Ford Territory i do think is one of the better looking and performing AWD cars. But we have had our shame such as the Ford (Mercury) Capri.

I completely forgot about that POS. Built on the same sh*t platform as the PT Cruiser.
Quick side story: It was a yearly family trip years ago to visit my grandparents down in Boca Raton, FL. Naturally, we would rent a car, and one year we got a PT Cruiser. My father was the driver, and I have never heard him get so upset driving a car. I'm fully convinced he would have burned it at left it at the side of the road if he could have gotten away with it. |
