Least favorite Crossfire feature?
I can't believe you guys don't like the cup holder
A lot of R&D went into the exact positioning and random popup action. It takes a lot of engineering to be able to strike you in the funny bone every time especially when you consider it will get you no matter what your height and seat position. Those krazy germans

I love my cupholder! I can take cloverleaf entrances/exits with a full 44oz drink at over 60MPH without it tipping over. However, it IS an auto. If it were a 6-speed, I'd probably have ripped it out of the console and thrown it off a bridge by now. 
My least favorite feature is the high doors. It looks great when driving, but whenever I try to use an ATM machine designed for the SUV yuppies in my part of town, I have to lean half my body out the window.

I agree about the high window sill. I like draping my arm on the door, especialy with the top down. Mail boxes, bank terminals and ATMs are difficult, especially for old bones like mine.
But then your butt sits 4" off the ground, so everything is too high.
Car sure looks cool though.

BTW - you got a bit overcharged, my tires were $800, and my oil change $92. Also, half of the sound system problem can be fixed with a pair of capacitors for about $2.

The stupid GPS I am supprised no one has said a word about the GPS yet here is my thinking first you can't program it ,then you can't see it, it is the most useless peice of crap on the car. the restof the car is greatwell almost the ride is a little too hard,Oh! you just have to know i just learned how to use (set up) my cel phone, jim
With all due respect, it looks like you picked the wrong car.

I'm going to say my least favorite feature is a non-existant one; line in for an MP3 player. I'm using a DLO TransPod FM transmitter for the time being, which works very well. But sooner or later I'm getting a JVC KDNX5000 w/ iPod adapter.
I'm surprised so many people have referenced the audio system in a negative light. After making a few basic treble and bass adjustments, the system acquits itself quite well. Even the GPS system, sans color screen, is so simple to use; fast route calculations, easy to enter addresses, clear voice directions, I didn't expect tha aspect of this car to work as well as it does.

Well, it's only been a month but my only gripe is the sloppy shift gate. I have the 1st gear issue when cold but the odd time it's like it pulls itself into 4th instead of 2nd. Lot of side slop in gate. Might have to have it checked.
As to everything else, I agree with SRT6nTULSA. I drive my 6 spd with a large coffee and haven't had a problem..yet.
I think the GPS is great, needs a small light to punch in info but then you're away and you don't have something hanging off your dash with a wire hanging down.
So to sum up, the same shifting issues already listed but... so... what, you get used to it.
When the sun is shining, top is down, wind is blowing, you forget the little pecadilloes and does this baby turn heads.

The gas light comes on when you're above empty. What?!! Personally, all the other cars I've ever driven let you drive 50 miles or so below empty. And the gas guage is divided by 6. Shouldn't it be divided by 8, so you can say "I have 3/4 of a tank, 1/4 of a tank, etc. I'm getting used to it though.
