What do you hate about the Euro?

[ant234]

FYI I forgot I wasnt driving my Euro in the wet today and I had my Missus Lantra 2.0l man. I flung it into a roundabout and whooops..180 degree spin, corrected and drove out.

Which roundabout is that? :P sorry I missed it!!

Another thing to add... The passenger side (and rear) windows do not have the function where it will automatically wind down the windows in one touch...
Gosh, even my cheapie Astra got it! :P

Really annoying is you have to remember to close the sunroof before turning off the car.

OK, I'll just add my 2 cents worth.

Besides the windscreen creak (which I'm yet to rectify at the 1k service), I hate the sequential shift orientation. It's just plain wrong!

I am more than happy with the rest.....

the wait from the order date to showroom to be picked up " I WANT MY EURO!!!!"

Have to agree with this...especially waiting over 5 weeks.

Im abit surprise why honda still doesnt turn off headlight when key is removed. that woulda been nice. the cabin light is very neat. dims dradually when doors closed.

My 3 cents:

16" wheels way to small.
Gap in guards too big - would like to lower it but don't want it to be any harsher in ride.
More torque under 2K would be nice but it still beats my old lancer by a long shot.
Definately a black trim for the white models.
Trip computer would be nice. Stock commo's have 1 so we should get 1.

Just realised the other day something I found distracting.

There's a couple of lines on top of the dash near the centre that is reflected on the windscreen.

Bill, we do have a trip computer that records the kms. unless u mean fuel consumption

It's because the trip computer is built into the navigation system that is comes with the Euro in Japan, USA and Europe... We got shortchanged with the standard non-navi model.

If a navi Euro NEVER existed, then we would have gotten the trip computer. Even the base Jazz has a trip computer.

Yerp, fuel consumption, km's to empty, that type of thing.

Guys I am not sure this is a prob. Did a search but couldnt find something similar.

When i reverse out of my garage, i have to do 4-5 point turns. So when its dead quiet in the morning, i can hear the brakes like 'gripping' whenever i lightly touch the brake pedal.

Its like 'ahhhh' then i depress then its gone. Is it normal guys?

Thanks in advance.

If its normal then this is what i hate bout the EURO. How come theres noises from the brakes? My S15 never did that any given day. But the built quality of the Euro is much betta.

My gf's astra does this when reversing and just lightly pressing the brakes. "BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
hahaha... it's so damn loud compared whatever brake squeals we have. Mine happens when I am moving forward and lightly applying the brakes. I suspect that the rotors have a fine layer of rust, so it takes some hard braking to get that layer off to give you silent braking.
