The cup holder is the #1 complaint. The base coupes come with a storage bin and many limited owners did the conversion. That may be something for you to consider.

I was never a fan of the interior door handles. The back of the handle on some cars came apart and caused some people to cut themselves. As for the shift ****, I have a stick so I can't speak for the automatic. Some complain about it but I really like the feel of it. Many have replaced their ***** and that is a very easy thing for you to do.

Drive it more and let us know what you think. As time goes on I think you will learn to love the car. Hang around the forum and read about it... you will learn a lot. I had my car over 5 years and I am still learning about some of the features that I never knew about. For example... the secret hiding place in the ash tray. Had no idea there was a place for quarters in there!

Get that car on I-10 in the country and open it up. Do 100+ MPH then let me know what you think.
