What I don't like about my 1989 Ford Tempo Sedan:
-It is probably the least cool vehicle Ford made in the 1980's, and it has zero respect to its name. Escort, Taurus, Mustang, Thunderbird, all of them had "bragging rights" with their names. Tempo had nothing. I don't mind this, but I wish it was a bit cooler.
-Instrument Backlighting is terrible, not only on my Tempo, but all Fords of that era. I am fairly certain its not a defect, just designed that way with weak bulbs. The end result is not being able to make out the clock, or other buttons.
-Odd controls. The radio's controls are too small and close together, the air/heat controls are gigantic, hard to push down and square/ugly.
About my 2002 Chevrolet Silverado LS 1500 4x4 (its not technically mine, but I drive it the most), it has very few design faults. The interior is the worst thing about it. Its ugly, truck-ish (although that doesn't bother me too much), and it has a feel of cheapness and low-quality. The engine revs a little too high in first gear (and seems to have a hard time shifting from first to second), but other then that, its a pretty good truck.
