I own a 2007 touring

My biggest gripe is the enormously bland door panels. ugly as hell imo, and the overall low grade interior quality.

Everything else seems great so far (only had the car 3 weeks)

I would say that the trunk space (and overall interior space) is deceiving. I definitely cannot fit 2 extra wheels in the hatch for track days, which means I can't fit a jack either. Which means more gas usage to bring the truck along -__-

Also, I'm not a big fan of the stock seats. Hurts my back on long drives. Went with after market buckets, and now I feel much better

then ur doing it wrong i used to take 2 et streets with me, a jack a block of wood, tire iron and a helmet with me all in the back to the track....i used to take the spare out and put one wheel there, then wrap a jack in a sheet and put it on the side of the trunk, then wrap the other wheel in a sheet and go over the strut bar and slide it back under from the front..hard to explain, but all is well and hatch closes just fine and doesnt cause any problems in the front for the drive and 2 wheels for the track in the back..i figure if i blew a tire and needed a spare i have a et street to throw on as my spare

yeah, i can do that with 17's. Maybe even 18's. But definitely not with 19's. Trust me. Especially with the tires I run, that will not happen.

Ie press unlock and go inside to grab something and come out hrs later to find your car gone.

New civics do that too

As long as she runs and doesnt break down or leak oil ill keep loving my Z.
Auto windows up from remote might be cool but not crucial and i still love her black ***.

i am unable to get the trunk to pop and i press and squeezed as hard as i could, could this be it..i dont see anywhere else really.
i saw that when i picked up my car. My friend has a g35 so i didnt even think of a button being there LOL.

Ive never used that button tho, i just use the remote.

also if you put your key in the door lock & turn to the left you can roll your window down how ever far you want, then to the right to roll it back up how ever far you want......I thought that was kind of neat.

- dipstick
-piston rings
- and feel like they should come with about 320-350whp. Would be perfect for stock. Like coming with a supercharged model.
Otherwise te car is sick.

1. Dipstick (even though it was quite hilarious watching midas mechanic who changed my oil trying to check the dip stick. he did it about 20 times, went to the computer to check, checked it around 3 more times, and realized i was staring at him and just walked away. lol)

2. Easily chipped paint

3. Weight

4. Squeaks and rattles

5. hondas and truck drivers (welcome to texas) trying to race/intimidate me by revving their engine to their redline.. (for trucks, that's around... 3000rpm )

The whole drivetrain system (ball joint, control arms etc)
Transmission (oh god so noisy)
suspension ( too rough)
Cheapo interior

A\C is quite decent though
