I hate the fact I have NO aftermarket support on my X-Type. One tuning chip available at a cost of $3800.
This. Take a peek at the exhaust manifolds on that thing, there's gotta be 40 horses in that corral alone. My wife's car would love to have those out and something decent in their place but where oh where... I saw where some guy made his own but that's more effort than I wanna do I reckon.
Some members on the Jaguar forums report the regular Duratec Taurus headers give great gains. They couple the headers with an off the shelf (I think) Durango two into one collector with built in cat to 2.5" piping. I'm currently saving up for this project. I can get you links/part numbers if you'd like.
I HAD thought about trying to get some Mazda6 MSDS headers and seeing if they fit but if I'm having a hard time affording junkyard Taurus headers I'm not dropping $700+ on a chance.
RE: Bobzilla, I hate the fact that my Accent isn't in MY driveway. :( I loaned it to a friend who is looking to purchase it. I'm missing the 38mpg, too but I won't miss the car payment, especially seeing as how I just paid off the Jaguar last week. I'll be able to afford the 19-20mpg the Jag gives me. LOL

I don't like that my engine is in front of my front wheels, but I have almost 300 hp of turbocharged AWD goodness.
The Mini has several issues that I've been living with, but they can be annoying, but not to the point of making me fix them.
Nothing with the Miata, but a small dent in the driver side fender.

I have no idea what you are referring to:

I'm curious as to what headers he's using (the second set, not the Duratec Taurus headers, which I'm contemplating doing on my car).
Is there anything about your car that you hate?
For this one, no!
For the daily driver Dakota the creaks and groans in the cowl are pretty annoying.
trying to find a matching door panel 
the interior panels in my 1983 Corolla are garbage, they have a hard plastic section that is pure crap. I was able to score a much better interior.... except some "berkeleying" (continue to add expletives) SOB decided to tear up the driver side... so I've been on a 2 year hunt to find the door panel I NEED....
crappy current POS door panel.... note the whitening of the blue plastic just above the door pull
interior I scored...
panel I now need....
I hate that people think I'm rich because I can afford a Jaguar.
Then I just realize they think I'm rich because I can (almost) afford to keep it running...
In my 2010 RX8,
If i had a can (its all it can hold and not get in the way) of soda in the "cup holder" within 10 min it would be boiling
The fact that no matter what you do the door is always going to swing back and smack you or something else.
Torque, thats one of those myths right?

Needs a battery, but that's because someone sold their truck with my battery in it.
Other than that, the tailgate doesn't stay latched, so anything over the weight of a feather causes it to slam down loudly. And I noticed the sunvisor is stuck out far enough on it's little peg that it blocks part of the rear veiw mirror.
You live in Cecil County. What the berkeley are you doing with a tailgate on your truck?
Cecil County eh? We're practically neighbors. I live up in Nottingham, PA.
Camaro: Three foot deep dashboard, and even bigger windshield, trunk 'slot', generally a huge car with tons of wasted space. Useless cup holder obviously designed for the automatic car.
Fairlane: Lack of overdrive and suspension travel.
