What do you like/dislike about your FD?

[m4drx]

Me 2 .... i love the drive .... i love having to mend it .... i love spending money on it .... i dont mind puting petrol in it as its so worth it .... and one day ill have to love rebuilding it..

Its a hobby and only 1 of 3 cars i have so i dont mind it sitting up for weeks on end while i improve it, i am spoild in the fact that i will have a full workshop with 2 ramps and an exstensive toolbox, so the rebuild is gonna be an adventure.

So like i say i love the lot.

That explains it

i was in your position i would be the same just cannot get rid of paranoia

I like:
It was cheap speed, and fun.....
 
I don\'t like:
I bust it already....and now it\'s gonna be expensive fun
 
:2eek :evillaugh

I hate the beep-beep key reminder.

I love Mazda!

[gonzoninja]

I don\'t mind the huge bills, I just think that\'s my company being tight and not paying me enough.

I hate the fact I had my engine rebuilt by Carl and he *INSISTS* that I have to drive 2000 miles before I can open it up. He set the rev limiter to 4000rpm, it\'s like he doesn\'t trust me or something

[FLAT4MATT]

I hate nothing.......I love everything...

I\'d agree with that if it wasn\'t my daily car...

Well these engines can be rebuilt on the ground with limited tools and if it breaks then get £300 worht of car and drive that till you mend it

[Hayward North]

Id prompt anyone who has a FD to get a daily drive, if you spend £500 on a bannger and use that for trolling around and doing all the crappy trips and ony use the FD for the nice stuff, if you only drive the bannger 2 times w week then your keeping the miles and wear off the FD, there are a lot of insurants companys that take into account you can only drive 1 car at a time so they will do you a good deal.

Its going to take me 6 years to put 12000 miles on my FD

[SavageUK]

Hate : Fuel consumption

Love : Every other aspect of owning an FD, theres nothing like it

But I wouldn\'t have it any other way... You won\'t get me driving some piece of crap french deisel hatch back... Besides the FD is my daily car, I have the bug for fun

[FLAT4MATT]

But I do take your point lol

I dont blame ya, but after driving a fiesta 1.8 diesel for 3 days out of the week the FD feels like the 1st time i drove it everytime i get in

The other car is the family mondeo st24 v6, its like driving an armchair.

[Bazza]

The seats are ****e and you cant adjust the steering wheel

One of the best things is that I live about 5 miles from the rx second hand supermarket  aka  RX Motors :god

[Jono FD3]

Love everything.... the looks, performance & peopls reactions as you pop their ear drums by driving past them!!!

Dislikes
Not having enough time to finish the damb jobs on it!!!

[gee1]

Like- Peoples reactions, the noise, the presence it has wherever you take it, I cant find any other cars in my budget that could replace it!

dislike- Having to stop for MORE petrol, annoying rattles, paranoia \'is it going to die today\' re-occuring boost problems etc...

All part of the fun I suppose..

[robedwards99]

Like: The fact that there are very few of them about. A little exclusivity if you like.

Dislike: As soon as I get the current niggling little problem fixed something else small and annoying goes wrong!!
