Mine has buckets of personality. My speedometer randomly works. My lights inside will come on at weird times. My drivers door you have to push below the handle to open it. Hatch is the same way and the best scariest one is my passenger side door will randomly just come open driving around. Usually taking turns with no sway bars when my girlfriend is with me. She really hates it
my speakers randomly go out
drivers rear window works when it wants too
seeping oil pan

sometimes when i start mine, it will miss like it's on 3 cylinders. i think it's my neon injectors pulsating.
so i just turn it off and try again. sometimes it takes a few tries, but will start and run perfectly.
and when it gets to operating temp and i coast at speed, the revs will drop a few hundred and pulsate. again, thinking it's my injectors but drives fine.
for a 1990, she's good.
other than removing the key in the run position, and i can start mine in any gear.

My rear hatch only stays open in the summer. My passenger side window takes three hours to roll up, and I had to pull the door lock fuse because my locks would randomly lock themselves. Luckily I don't have a/c so my keys never got locked in.

Some how I forgot this.
My turn signals don't make that clicking sound most of the time. Other times I can only hear it while the radio is on.
Other times it would work like it should lol.

The passenger side dashboard of mine rattles. Then stops. Then rattles again.
Oh, and the button for the passenger rear window always gets stuck in the down position when I hit it. Sometimes I don't notice it and it overheats the motor causing it not to roll up for a minute or so.
