2559B Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 ................. about your Scoob ??? I have to say that the thing that annoys me ( althought it's slightly trivial ) is that I don't have a rear window wiper . Why do Subaru UK not take a leaf from the Jap models & fit them with a rear wiper !!!? Think my next scoob will be a Jap one & I can finally see who it is behind me !!!
Spaceman Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Hi Five to that my freind i hate not having a rear wiper. apart from that not much else annoys me except when one of my rear calipers gets a bit sticky and sqeeks at me lol
ANDYJDMSTI Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I love my rear wiper!!! What annoys me is.............c@nts that want to race you!!
wilky Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 The MAF sensor annoys me. I ran my car on MAP with my link ecu which was great however it required seasonal tweeks because it was MAFless. Now I have an APEXI PFC and until I get it converted to MAP I neeed to run a MAF which I shall need to cut out of its original housing and place into my induction piping so that I dont have the drama of maxing it out. However I now need to sit down and read countless threads on other websights to see how Im going to rescale my maf so that it can do what its supposed to do. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. Feckin MAF sensor.

oobster Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Two things annoy me about my scoob, but both fairly minor: 1) Paint as thin as rice paper. 2) Nobody seems to want to let you out at busy junctions etc. More than outweighed by the grin factor when you get the chance to plant the right foot.
4Hero Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 things which annoy me about mine: 1. There's a squeek in the boot, Nobles had a look at it, took it out for a run, and looked at it again, but it's still there 2. The back seats dont go down (or do they?) 3. It's not a 2006 STi Thats about it really, the third will be resolved soon, and this should erradicate 1 and 2 also

Think my next scoob will be a Jap one & I can finally see who it is behind me !!! >> Buy a P1 - it's got a rear wiper The girlfriend's car hasn't got a rear wiper though, and it is SO frustrating ! Can't understand why all cars don't have it, I have to say. It can't add that much to the price surely !?! Only thing that annoys me about my car is ....................... actually, I can't think of anything! I might not buy one again, but that's because of the local dealer, nothing to do with the car. Sad really!
paddy247 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I have no dislikes with my scooby, the only thing that annoys me is the depreciation! soon forgot about when I plant the foot
Spikkey Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 A persistant squeek coming from the passenger side interior when the Mrs is on board. **IT DRIVES ME NUTS** NO, ITS NOT THE MRS!!!! Spikkey
gus the bus Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Rear wiper for me too! and Like Andy, folk that want (think ) they can race you all the time other than that not being able just to go out and drive it 24/7 Gus
chris_c201 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Rear Wiper although my last car didn't have one either so i'm coming to terms with it (that and rain-x helps!) Squeaks and rattles - TBH i've nearly cured them all now so its not as bad, one slight intemittent noise at the mo but i'll track it down!!
Fee Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 The rattle from my dashboard.....although it does appear to annoy me less than it does adam as I don't feel the need to thump the dash everytime I'm driving The front seats dont go back into position once they've been let forward (I now refuse to let anyone get in the back from the drivers side)
st3ph3n Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 My driver's seat squeeks. Only on days with odd numbers, except on occasions when it doesn't, or when it does it on days with even numbers. I also never read anything in the sales blurb that said "Buying an Impreza gets you into a community of like minded, and insane minded enthusiasts who will encourage you to buy mods that in reality you don't really need."
karps Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 << Nobody seems to want to let you out at busy junctions etc. >> Never have a problem with that in fact they tend to always let me out. The fact that as soon as you say its a subaru the price for anything doubles
McGoo Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Ah, the rear screen wiper on JDM's, what bliss. Just a pity that the Sh*tty front wipers start to lift at 60mph and don't clear properly due to the wind lift !!! Aaaarrrrggggh !!!! And don't suggest those naff blade attachments !! Dunno if the new Age's are any better but a note to FHI when testing should have been "Heavier Springs on the Windscreen Wipers" Emb'dy know if there are replacement units / springs that'll do the biz ? Stuff yer 300+ BHP Mods, Mahooosivve Turbo's, Balistic Torque figures, Lowering kits, Anti Lift Kits, FMIC's etc etc etc - just give me windae wipers that work above 60Mph !!!! Apart from that, not much to complain about !!
vicki Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Nothing annoys me! But then again me and my car are still on honeymoon
G.T. Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 no rear wiper doesnt really bother me bugs the mrs no end though and no vanity mirror on the drivers sun visor suppose having to let her drive it now and again bugs me i think the pish poor head unit and speakers for me too oh and its not fast enough yet
st3ph3n Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 My wipers work a treat all the way up to 120, where they tend to pickup a whistling noise when not in use. So that's another one. I do use rainx now though, so wipers can generally be turned off at 70 and you'll see fine, speed up to 80 and it works even better. Mudflaps should come as standard. For a car built so blatantly to drive round country roads at a fair rate of knots why do they come equipped with lights that are a bit rubbish on dipped beam?
gary_johnson Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Squeaks and rattles from the dash etc.....Stink from the clutch when reversing.....The Bridgestone tyres and the way the car wanders about or tramlines etc.
frank c Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I also hate the rattles from the dashboard and i wish the seats were a bit lower too..
Gee Wr1 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Another vote for no rear wiper, never had one on the wrx either No electric fold in wing mirrors, jap ones do Wipers lift above certian speeds No boost gauge as standard Agree with Andy about folk trying to take you on Yep Stephen dip headlights are not the best But would i swap it for something else??? NOT A CHANCE I love the car to bits, still get a smile looking at it & a HUGE driving it. These are only minor grumbles i mention, not problems.
jacqui_robb Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Rear wiper - GOT Elecy folding mirrors - GOT Boost gauge - GOT MAF Sensor - NO NEED FOR I lurve my car, only down side is i dont run it for the full year, and i miss him at this time of year Obviously the money you have to "Shell" out it a downside too - but hey, u cannae take it with ya, so spend it And the look on people faces with they realise it's mine - PRICELESS And the pure adrelin rush from driving him too So nope there's not really anything that annoys me - apart from people flashing their lights at me on the A9 thinking that my full beams on - AND IT'S NOT!
Gee Wr1 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 << So nope there's not really anything that annoys me - apart from people flashing their lights at me on the A9 thinking that my full beams on - AND IT'S NOT! >> Well if you'd put normal bulbs in it wouldn't happen J
