When you flash someone (with the headlights) you end up switching the lights on and off.

Also as no intermittent rear wiper.

The most annoying thing is having a standard jap wagon and not knowing where to start with the upgrades :-)

Apart from the heatshield, which seems to rattle and buzz on acceleration, not much really.
Only other one, is that it always sounds like I've left the boot open on my wagon, coz of the noise.

It isn't quick enough....being a 1.8 GL., and I can't afford to run a turbo at the moment.

Turbohot, don't you have air con? If you have, just put it on when you want to demist. It seems daft, I know, when the last thing you want on a winters morning is cold air, but trust me- the effect is miraculous. And don't have the cabin air switch on "recirculate!"

The most annoying thing for me is the rear view mirror, I'm never sure if I'm being followed by one Saxo VTS or three!?!?

Oh and bludy rattling trim in the back... it's an MY96 wagon.

Still, like everyone else above I wouldn't change it for anything (except a newer one!). Oh and fuel is no longer annoying for me as my new job came with a fuel card.... woo hoo!!!

apart from a few of the above (bright switch, 1st gear, parking etc) the worst for me is the remote central locking is too quiet with no indicator flase / peep peep etc so you're never sure it's locked. MY00 Classic, is this normal???

MY02 WRX. The stupid little central sunvisor thingy. It's not actually big enough to cover the gap between the rearview mirror and the roof. It could at least have doubled as a sunglasses holder.

It is literally useless

Got to be the bloody clutch judder, I know "they all do that Sir" but it still makes me cringe, and it looks to a passenger as if I just passed my test!

finding spotty oiks drooling over it everytime I pick a takeaway up

ps after re thinking the above if thats the most irritating then scooby driving/owning isnt that bad.

pps I own a LOT of shares in shell so fuel doesnt matter ( a lot)

LOL @ Ken 275

Very hard not to explain every detail about the car when all peeps want to know is what you drive

MY02 WRX. Cant believe no-one has said anything about the lack of feeling through the steering wheel, i find that most annoying [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

apart from that and the usual niggles you have with any car (company car driver for 12 years teaches you not to be picky) I think the car is feckin great. After all what do you want from a sub 20K car with over 200bhp and a 0-60 that'll make you smile everytime you boot it

The rear wiper has no intermittent wipe setting.

The "bright" switch is useless.

Scratches on electric windows.

I really (really) want leather seats but I can't spend the money unless I want my wife to gurn even more disapprovingly. I've got the blue bri-nylon version. The seats, not the wife.
