My current car, the third gen Eclipse, the hood latch is retarded and takes multiple tries, and my doors are never stationary when it's opened, so it always hits me when I'm trying to get in or out.

What's your biggest beef with your car?

You know that Nissan could have designed the car better but they chose not to make it to its potential. (ex. Exhaust, Intake) Its like the Porsche Cayman of the Nissan world.

My biggest annoyance is the road noise in the back (sounds like rocks hitting the inner wheelwell)

you know there is a 1-2k solution for that... i'm strongly considering dynamatting my car which will significantly reduce the noise... if you go crazy (which i wont, i want to hear the engine) you can turn the car into something with almost lexus level sounds...

Imagine that, then you will truly be able to enjoy the ear destroying ringing sound with no distractions

-windows get wet from moisture in the seals when you roll 'em down after a car wash or even a rainstorm.
-rear mud-flaps!!

plus im not going to drive like a kitten

My biggest car complaint isn't about the 370.

It's about the Corvette having a Cobalt steering wheel. Wtf?

Every single solitary car in the world does this..."solution" you just don't roll the window down for 1/2 hour or so "depending on the weather" after washing it or getting it washed...

Odd ball gas gauge.

For the joy this car gives me, the complaints are really minor. Biggest complaint is lack of visibility. Hate to back out of my driveway trying to peer out of the pass side rear window. LOL!

Once I'm going forward, absolutely no complaints. And boy does this thing go forward!

Actually my biggest complaint is having to make car payments. My last car was paid off for 5 years, so this car payment sh*t really sucks.

My only complaints are the in-cabin rattles (a LOT of them coming from many different places) and the paper-thin paint job.

Every thing else is incredible.

I really dislike the fact that the mirrors don't fold down when you close the car.

Why the hell make it manual with a button inside the car. just let it do it everytime the car closes and starts up. my fricking renault had that
