What does your S2K do to piss you off?

I hate:

Lack of adjustable steering wheel
Slow as balls
Price of parts, $3k for a hardtop? GTFO!

You should probably be in the Subie forums.
Sounds like the wrong car for you. Next time just buy something with a steel top and a turbo, you'll be golden.

I dont' drive to drink a beverage, so I don't care about cup holders. Man up already.
No traction in higher revs? No problem. Separates my S from my hatch. Its what makes the car fun. No?


Everything the car does or doesn't do is good. I bought it like it is for a reason, if I wanted a car with cup holders, a V8, and adjustable steering I would'a got a Charger.

What don't I like? Nothin. It's perfect like it is.
Man up? And don't drive to drink beverage? Pardon me for feeling the need coffee on the way to the gym at 5:30 am.

I am surprised your ego and toughness fit on the internet.

The low windshield frame. Driving home one night I couldn't see the traffic light but did see a green glow. Thinking the lite had changed I went thru the intersection only to realize the glow was the left hand turn signal light. Luckily no one was around. The theft and breakins are a constant worry but by and large stewie is a wonderful experience.

Funny. I guess you took that personally.
Maybe you should look through the posts... there were more comments about the cup holder than just yours.
I said "I" which means me. Nothing to do with you. Because big cups don't fit it reminds me of why I got the car... to drive it. The sooner I get that cup out of the car the sooner I can get back to the business.

LOL people are taking this too seriously!

Well, I don't drink in my S either.
No one can drink in my car Not even water. (except bottled water and I only can)
But I still need a decent cup holder. When I pick up a burger and a soda and head back to the lab at night.
I wish the cup holder was deep enough so that the way back to the lab is a fun time.
BesidesI hate those cardboard cup holders. They are not stable and I hate hate to spill anything.

Both options suck.

No back seats
4-cylinder which has no torque (J32 is much more potent)
Scrapes at factory height
Pedals hurt your feet if you are wearing no shoes
No intermittent wipers similar to a 90's DX Accord.




/Trolling.

Being uncomfortable at a Drive thru ATM machine, the seats are too low that it drags me down when trying to punch in my pin or insert atm card lol. Maybe cause I'm 5'7


So funny that you say this. I use the ATM machines still, but I place my car far over so I can get out. Much easier to get out of the car and use the drive thru atm
hahaha I like this one! I feel your pain

The cupholder - this is my DD. I drink coffee. Deal with it.
Cold Start grind
Expensive Parts - makes me want to get a Miata track car or an old truck so I can do some cheap projects without feeling guilty. Also, because it is the only model of it's type and had very few options, there are pretty much no OEM upgrades other than a hardtop
The stock radio
The placement of the power plug
How easily it dings
Would rather have a square tire setup stock
Big top up blind spots
Tears and rips in the top
Rattling latches
Black vinyl top and black interior with black leather seats and a metal shift knob in summer
Add a fastener to make the antenna harder to remove/steal

I love my car and it makes me smile every day, but it's far from perfect. Everything in this world is engineered with compromises and built to a price point. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate the car. Just adds to the mental list I have going for when Honda recognizes my brilliance and hires me to lead the AP3 project.

My car has a fun habit: There's a leak in my top right over the drivers left shoulder. This isn't an ordinary leak though. Somehow, water comes into the top while it rains, and instead of just constantly dripping, it all builds up somewhere up there. The water will stay there for days waiting to ruin my next drive.

Without fail on first forward acceleration after sitting in the rain, several ounces of water pour out of the top and all over me. It ranges from hitting me right on the shoulder, to going straight into my lap.

It'll be so nice to have a new top one of these days
