in order to change the shifter it's gonna cost four times what it should because you have to buy the shift boot and all the goodies

not just the knob

well what i really hate about the car is the 2 doors of my car get full of lines from my shoes (right where the cupholders are on the doors) and both of my doors are full of white lines! every once in a while i have to go ahead and scrub the doors!

Pet Peeve

My peeve is the friggin' dent my friend put in the passenger door when he opened it right into a park bench! Flawless until then. Also, there are some annoying rattles inside....mainly the center dash vent and the sunroof buffeting when open over 30mph. Otherwise, best and most fun car i've owned.

Hey Slacker, when you get wind buffeting through the sunroof, just turn the dial to close it a tiny bit and that solves the problem. It doesn't take much. And it sure beats having one of those ugly bolt-on external wind deflectors.

I think you have to hold the trunk button down for a couple seconds

This is true. Also, the advantage of using the hatch button on the remote is that when you close the hatch, it automatically locks again and the lights flash to confirm this. It's nice when you have your hands kind of full because you can just unlock the hatch and then put your key away.

Yikes! Would Never add on a wind deflector! I like the sunroof to be OPEN and propping up the wind deflector a few more mm gets rid of the wind buffeting for me.

It's nice when you have your hands kind of full because you can just unlock the hatch and then put your key away.

You can also press "Lock" before closing it (or, I think, any door) and after you close it, the car will lock and arm and go "beep" (if you're set with 'beep" confirmation).

That it can't change colour by itself.

x2 Im purchasing the golfball shifter that came on our cars and swapping it out for the other one..i just dont want to spend all that money to replace it but I loove the feel of it

Well sorry no boost gauge =( Its on my list but not for a few months.

We just came out with a fairly affordable integrated vent boost gauge kit, so maybe you won't have to wait as long to get one

I like to call it cheap insurance that lets you know if/when things go wrong.

lower valances were not painted to match. what you save a few bucks on paint and then charge us 2k to get the painted ones? cheap asses.

but my #1 pet peeve. whats up with the random check engine? It shows up for a day, then its gone. WTF?

 

[g60_corrado_91]

^ Intake manifold flapper motor? That set my CEL off a few times, but once it went off automatically.
