OK, a few complaints I don't agree with...
The door chime. Sure it ain't cool, but I know I would have left my lights on more than once had it not been there. How often do you have the door open with the engine running?
Access, oil filter location...
Have you worked ona fwd car lately? Anything since the days of carbs? Personally, the 240 engine bay is one of the most accessible I've ever had to work in. Getting at the filter in my girlfriend's altima requires being under the car, and then some of the oil runs down your arm.
Fuel milage..
I have no problems though I know some KA's are very odd. Mine gets 28mpg like clockwork in the summer. Winter city driving falls offs pretty quick, but what car doesn't. Plus I think the KA REALLY likes cold air. It feels so much faster lately.
My complaints with my S13 fb...
The sqeaks and rattles. Not so bad in the summer, but the seals get really loud in the winter. Chicago roads, stiffer springs, and low profile tires don't help.
The lack of seal on the sunroof in cross winds. It doesn't leak, and is quiet on a calm day even at 100mph, but with a cross wind it howls over my stereo.
