I like the style, size, price, the fun of driving.

I dislike several things. I dislike fake, as in vents on top of fender that aren't real, vents where driving/fog lights should be that are fake, sound tubes that are fake, dual exhausts that are fake. Also (this is a repeat) this car screams to be a hatch back and not a coupe with a trunk lid.

Seriously, what is it with the hatch back fetish? Is it the automotive equivalent of liking girls with glasses?

When I think of how difficult it is for me to contort my 78 year old body in the back of my FR-S to clean the rear window I think fondly of how easy it was to accomplish that task when I raised the rear hatch on my CRX.
