    What About Your Delorean Do You Dislike The Most?

    First off lets not make this a negative discussion, Think of it more as constructive criticism or an outlet for frustration. So weather it be a temporary flaw, mechanical or cosmetic fault or an inherent design issue what do you dislike about your car the most today?

    RUSTY BOLTS!

    I own a slightly refurbished car, so most of the bolts underneath the car are sooo rusty! This comes to frustration when the work is simple but I spend one hour just to unscrew and unbolt 32 years old things!

    Where do you start?! Alignment (panels, fascias), water egress, door design (re latches & alignment), aerodynamics (dreadful), brakes, handbrake design. Rusty bolts too of course, but you can't really blame the car itself for that.

    I'd love to have 2 back seats, like for example a Mazda RX-7 FC

    My D is a pretty nice one, but of course there are things that aren't perfect. Two issues that bug me a lot would be the door mechanisms and front & rear fascias.
