All the noise it makes in the interior. Can't make u turns to save my life. Its soooooooo heavy.... you can put a jacusi in the trunk if you take out the spear tire. People say noooooooz everytime they see a 2g. Wiring is garbage. Crankwalk.....(chills) how they downgraded the 14b to a t25. Fwd. Cops think I modified to the car to make it turbo. Car its self is long. I HATE THAT ITS A DSM BUT I LOVE ITS A DSM.
 
I don't understand how people are putting the things they love about their DSM along with what they hate....... when it clearly says on the title WHAT DO YOU NOT LIKE ABOUT YOUR DSM?:idontknow:
 
yeah, i have the same sunroof leak that poors right on my head when i drive. my hatch floods in bad rainstorms. hatch struts are bad of course. lots of rust and oil leaks. rear struts always seem to give me a new problem. other than that i love my car and wouldn't trade it for anything.
 
where to start...

bogs under any boost at all, unless WOT
15mpg.
loud interior,
piece of shit sunroof that leaks and bounces up and down going down the road.
shitty suspension.
bad turning radius
cop magnet
engine shakes violently sometimes at start up

and more.
 
Wow so many of you complain about the sunroof leaking.. I think I'm really glad I don't have a sunroof now :p

I have to agree with the one person who said "the transmissions". All 3 dsm transmissions I've ran had/have grind in one gear or another... and we all know why that is ;)
 
Im not even worried about my sunroof leak anymore. Its winter now so no rain till deep into April!

The thing that ticks me off the most right now is my hatch that sticks shut. Its not at the latch so I just have to muscle on it a bit... sucks

Other than that, nothing!
 
How about the fact that as soon as you have fixed one ailment or another, you find out something else is bad. Clutch assembly, tranny, and then you blow a head gasket!
 
1. Gas cap is on the wrong side.
2. Leaks oil even after replacing old seals.
3. Can't get traction
4. Doors sound like they are gonna fall off.
5. Rattling @ss interior...fix a rattle, another one takes its place.
6. The top doesn't leak, but when it rains and I open the door water pours in.
7. Ricer magnet...there is always a punk ricer kid that has to rev up at me while I'm pumping gas or something...get a %$cking life.
 
why dont we all just take out junk interior pieces?
there is nothing behind my rear seats.. no more rattles.. :hellyeah: WOO!!
 
^^^My spoiler rattles from time to time, but pulling much of the plastic was a good thing. :(
 
awesome thread btw...
any girl that has ridden in my car once or heard about my car offers to drive :hellyeah: , passenger side door rattles somewhere, i scrap on anything and everything, and right now im battling a alternator belt squeak from hell.
the cars 13 yrs old and still rocking though :rocks:

:dsm:
 
The fact that I dont have the money or time to finish the talon and the quote below sums it up. I love the talon and it is definitely my dream car, but the fact that its hard to get certain parts and the cost make me want to sell it and like DSMs from a distance rather then owning one. I have always loved them (since 1989), but the fact that it's been 10 years since they stopped making DSMs and the parts flow is already dying worries me. For now it sits in my climate controlled garage waiting for the love and attention it so dearly needs/deserves. :talon:

and that most of are cars are a decade, or more old, so vendors have started to pull out of the DSM pool, and go swimming with other platforms...

I hate the uniboob on my hood.

Also, i don't particularly enjoy my somewhat off track drivers window......oh and i HATE how i can't remove the ashtray......WTF am i supposed to do with all the ashes in it!?
 
Its random boost/vacuum leak, and its moody idle.

Well there sure is things to hate about these cars (mine for instance) random P0170 cel codes constantly, creaky suspension, crap interior, absolutely zero headroom (im 6'3") 5 candle power headlights, random death by timing belt incidents, lack of any and all sensible use for the back seat besides midget wrestling.

But there are redeming qualities as well, such as uh well eh you see there is the uh AH! Good looks, SEAMINGLY SATANIC accelleration, wonderful handling and ability to wipe the smirk off any mustang owners face in a single launch! yeah im pretty sure that sums it up. It realy is a love-hate relationship with these things!
