yes we did, but nevertheless they are our least favorite features.. and that is what the original post asked... those small drawbacks don't overwhelm the postive aspects of the car, but recognizing they exist is not bitching by any means..

What I did not know however is that the car does not have a limited slip differential and none are offered, but anyways even if I knew this I would of still have purchased the vehicle, it is my fault and I should of done a research before making that assumption..

If you have purchased a car you don't like than you have not done your research..

 

Maybe the 1/2 hour talking cars to guys and hot girls that come over to me in parking lot.........ya right I guess one disadvantage is when I'm some where I don't want people to know I am at its hard to hide a red roadster. Also the roof lets water in during hard rains.

 

I have no problem with the cupholder, we have an understanding. No soft-sided cups = no issues.

The sound system is actually VERY good, it just needs to be tweaked. Do the "Bang for the buck" mod in the doors and put a quality high-powered headunit in it and all is well. You even get the MP3/iPod functionality most are looking for.

My least favorite feature is the LACK of a tilt wheel!

 

I agree!! I use the useless cup holder everyday and have not a problem what so ever. If you find such trivial things to hate.... it must mean the car is pretty close to perfect or your just a little bit crazy.

 

On our manual seats, we don't like the u-crank-em seat backs tilt wheel woulda been nice

 

Cupholder...is that what it is, no steering wheel volume controls, and climate control....otherwise luv it.

 

I would deff say the traction control is the worst. Also the fact that Chrysler didnt find it important to train any techs in the car. I work at a DC dealership and all techs in the area have no idea what they're doing

 

The fact that it gets soooooo much attention

 

tilt steering wheel is what i miss and radio controls in the steering wheel

 

The clutch/shifter still feel awkward to me but I agree about the climate control. I found it confusing to operate the first time I was driving the car. It was a rainy, humid morning so the windshield fogged on the test drive. In order to clear the windshield without having the car blow hot air on me, I had to turn the defrost on, heat on, and close all the vents into the cabin...bizarre. I was surprised there was no defrost only option for the climate control.

I am glad I got the base model, however...no cupholder!

 

I don't know about you guys, but I get so tired of the stares, people watching me, the questions (“Cool car, what is that?”) and compliments.

 

The brake dust. Can't keep them wheels clean. Planning to get Rotex Gold pads soon.

That has never bothered me much until I was backing out of a parking spot and some guy in a truck decided to start yelling at me when the top was down. At first I was worried I was close to running into something only to find out he just wanted to know my MPG and that he really likes the style....


Otherwise, I don't know that I really find too much that I don't like other than the stock radio/stereo doesn't have an mp3/ipod port and the cd player doesn't play mp3 cd's. Even my Honda Civic does that....but I didn't buy the car for a sound system did I?

 

I don't know.. maybe it's my area as crossfires aren't too rare here, but I don't think it gets too much attention at all.. compared to say a GSX-R 750...

 

The lack of automatic temperature control!

 

I love this car just as it is, but. In no particular order;
No tilt wheel, the enormous front bow on the convertible top, no trip computer/compass, "auto laming" throttle by wire system. 2 handed power top.

 

You have got to be kidding. Cup Holder?, Speakers? Tilt wheel? Nothing is more annoying to an old gearhead from the days of carburated engines with analog guages and real hardware connecting the engine to the driver, than that damm electronic throttle.
The lag on acceleration takes some getting used to but the EMS decides when to throttle back on it's own, making gear synchronization harder than Chinese arithmetic.
For push and go drivers with automatics, cup holders would be an issue. With a manual tranny, the right hand has something useful to do.

The throttle by wire for sure. And depreciation. That's just plain depressing.

 

The Green Lighting, on gauges

 

Yes I agree, the pale green lighting is very dated. I would like to change it to blue but I think its a big job!
Has anyone done it?
