What do you hate about the Euro?

[EuroAccord13]

Too Blardy Heavy!! -- YEAH!! TOO HEAVY FOR ME!!!


also
- 16" wheels looks ghey ----- I AGREE
- no trip computer ---------- THAT TOO!
- side airbag on the seats ---- I Think You Meant Curtain Airbags...
- no black on black interior option - EXACTLY!

Apart from that, I'm happy

[nexace]

- No folding side mirrors
- Black colour doesn't have black interior!!!
- Side window ledge is too high to rest elbow

15%-20% more power would have been good..

[baboo]

no man~ I mean airbag on the seats so I cannot change to lighter ones...LOL

someone mentioned light steering? Mine hasn't been "light" for quite a while, i'm convinced its the wheel allignment (i regularly check tire pressures with my own gauge) but according to the place where i got it done its been corrected "to perfection"

Atm i hate how it drives... if i go over a slight bump the steering wheel jerks to one side and even if there is the slightest incline on the road (barely visibley noticable) the car turns sharply in that direction.

Also the clutch continues to feel weaker the longer i've had the car (i drive it like a granny all the time now coz i'm paranoid about it giving way)

Also it's revving like a turd atm because i think its in need of som enew oil.

Hopefully it's all fixable, but realistically i knew what i was getin into when i got the euro - i didn't expect a sports car, just something reliable that i could learn the ropes in and eventually have a bit of fun with.

Probably won't get much response cos everyone here loves their Euro , but here I go anyway.

For me, I guess the auto box is a start. 1st gear is nice but can't access it after 60km/h or so, 2nd and 3rd gear too long and 4th and 5th gear are pretty much crusing gears. I guess manual will much better but too late now and didn't get a choice.

Your not sposed to access first after sixty. Thats as far as the gearing takes you.

the felt window tint issue
wiring recal for boot harness
water in front headlights
no black and black
the fact that it attracts people to run into me (2 rear end shunts)

[Chris_F]

nEUROtic, he's talking bout the auto trans, first gear has a longer ratio than our manual transmissions. Probably gets close to 80km in first for the auto?

[VirIIx]

1. 16" alloys suck - i feel ripped off :b
2. trip computer is too simple for an car of such calibre - the bloody holden vz have a more efficient trip system
3. jerky at low revs/speed 1st and 2nd gear (crap for peak bumper to bumper driving)
4. no rear foglights
5. no heated side mirrors
6. no powered folding mirrors

but.. you can't have everything and i am happy with the car..

although i've noticed more rattling and vibrating coming from the front passenger door side.

... need to look at master cylinder issues...

With the auto, 1st actually gets u to redline around 65km/h or so, but it locks you out after 40-50km/h or so, not 100% sure. Point is that sometimes I wanted more power at around those speeds and I'm stuck in 2nd, which is a longish gear compared to the manual.

I also did mention light steering. I have 40psi all round with eibach's, so I do feel a lot, but doesn't give u a sense of weight. I personally like heavier steering cos with older car steering gets sorta heavier as you speed up but with the Euro, steering is the same whether you're going at 20km/h or 120km/h around a corner. I know that Euro has some technology where it's less responsive at higher speeds, but you can still easily control the car with 3 fingers even when going at 120km/h or more.

- DBW Jerk at low speeds.

[splinter]

in my sig I guess

DBW - dont innovate just because others are doing it (but they did it better)
Gearbox - not smooth enough in low gears
Seat's front not height adjustable
Rear and side views poor
Too much vibration from the road through steering column.

other than that after big wheel mod its not to bad for price.

[Chris_F]

sugoid, try lowering your pressures, generally steering gets lighter as wheel pressure increases. something like 35-36 may give yo uthe feel you want?

Im just confused as to why my steering isn't exactly light anymore
