    .... that disappoints you about your car. What is it? Mine is the lack of folding wing mirrors on my Merc. And that the ignition has to be on to close the electric windows.

    OK, so two things :o

    wow, a wind up sunroof. I feel for you.

    for me not the FTO but on my Civic, I wish it was DOHC and 4 wheel drive as I have seen one or 2 EP2's that were.

    I don't know about one thing...but there's a tonne of little things that I'm slowly working through on my car.

    Gradually getting it to where I want it!

    MB windows often work without the ignition if the driver's door is open.

    Lack of cruise control... Probably the only thing I would change...

    The only time I use cruise control is when I'm coming into a speed camera zone, it's handy to make sure you stay under the limit.

    Must test that. Thanks!

    I could use a really tall 7th gear for motorway cruising.

    The plastics I touch are all OK, but the stuff way out under the windscreen is a bit shiny, makes for more reflections than is necessary.

    Its stupid AWD, not RWD :(

    My Car does not run purely on water or fresh air. This annoys me.

    Mine's a 93 saloon :eek:

    And my plan of putting a 20v blacktop in my carina II backfired :(

    It can be retrofitted to many cars.
    Thinking of it myself, boring motorways are to blame.

    Climate control makes a beeping noise when you press the buttons, don't like the walnut

    Whilst worth it I don't know if I'd bother retro fitting.

    I use once in a blue moon. Cruise Control on Irish Motorways during the day with any kind of traffic is near high impossible IMO.

    A lot of mercs (and other cars) if you point the key at the driver door and hold down lock on the key the windows will close and vice versa open if you hold down unlock. Works handy with my Vw golf and the girlfriends a1 but you have to be more accurate with it with the merc.

    wish it had 30 more bhp and an other gear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,271 ✭✭✭hoodie6029


    alloys. the colour (boring silver). the fact that the left mirror moves when i adjust the right one.

    I only have it two weeks. i'm sure some more will emerge...

    Move the mirror selector switch to stop both mirrors from moving together.

    The rain sensitive wipers, automatic headlights, cruise control, climate control, heated leather seats, new car smell, etc. just take the fun out of driving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,792 ✭✭✭Ded_Zebra


    That the heat shield fell off the exhaust when I was driving out of the estate yesterday....

    Had to run back and pick it up :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 454 ✭✭tuborg_man


    If I leave it outside it'll rust


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,907 ✭✭✭✭MetzgerMeister


    The fact that I want to sell it and go back to the last car I had.

    Pretty sure you adjust the drivers side first (passenger side will move too) then do the passenger side,
