**** no one has said the dip stick yet?
I hate the dip stick location for a vehicle that requires frequent oil inspection.

Plastic on back of seat scratches easy (too soft)

And if people can buy a sports car and complain about gas mileage then I'm going to complain that the trunk isn't big enough for my hockey equipment.

hmm
yea, why cant we have those sexy seats on some of the special edition rx8s?
the whole seat is leather, including the back part.

also, if they could make the rear seats fold down somehow [that would have been awsome!] and maybe include a spare tire [still would take it out for DD but it would have been nice to have one included with the car]

Cops think our car is fast just cuz of it's looks.

True story: I got pulled over for a Suspicious car... Asked me if I had anything illegel on the car. I said no..... Lol. He said my car looked fast and asked how much am I putting to the wheels. I asked him how much do you think I am. He said 300ish? I laughed and said not even close. He said what? I said I'm pushing about 160. I had my dyno sheet in the backseat and showed him. He was like huh. Gave it back to me and said have a good day and goes back to his car and drives away. Lol

@ yiksing
I often think about the poor acceleration (torque) but quickly dismiss it as it brings in to question "why the heck did I buy the car if I don't like the acceleration that much?"
I mean I took it for a test drive ... must have been good enuf for me then .... anyway... just say'n

Can't blame the car for a pitted windshield can you?

1. While the car is pretty fast when it first came out, it is slow compared to a lot of newer cars including non-sport cars nowadays. i know the car isn't meant for straight line acceleration but that doesn't mean I can deny it has weak *** acceleration.

2. Thread title says, "What dont you like about your 8?", you see me blame my 8 for pitted windshield???

Aahhh gotcha ... I guess I didn't read it that way... but ya ... I see your point.

I was sort of looking at it from a ... from the factory I don't like...... blah blah..

I have rust on my rear quarter panel I don't like, and changing my fog lights is a PITA.

I don't like my 8 cuz everytime my gf sits in the passager seat the air bag light goes on and won't go off (meaning it sences pressure on the senor but not enough to trigger the airbag if I crash). : /
