the washer you remove to install sprint booster just moved to the top of the list....after an hour...I finally figured out how to lift it out...just hard to hold the magnet just right...of course, there are other things...but I have gotten used to them...no drinking or eating in my car, so cup holder isn't a problem except when it is open and I don't know it...that hurts...you know, all cars have their bad points....

After owning this car for a year now, I can definately say I don't like the dopey rear wing. It has boy racer written all over it. Wish it could be disabled as I never go over 70 much anyway and then I could hide it.

Yanni it's one of the easiest "mods" to do. Just pull the fuse.

Definitly the cupholder.

2nd place would be the radio/speakers.

Threading used on the seats is not to durable either. Had to have drivers seat re-stitched @ 7K. Covered by warranty.

Double....no, triple amen to that one. What the heck were they thinking???!!! My other least favorite thing is the blindspots. It was truly unnerving at first but now I'm getting used to it.

The cupholder isn't an issue with me - I think it's kind of space-agey looking. At least it has an outside chance of serving some purpose, unlike the visors.

My most favorite thing, aside from all the attention it gets, and the engine that purrs like a kitten at 100mph (not that I would ever driver that fast myself, of course...) but it's that crazy little spoiler that goes up and down on its own. That totally kills me. The sound it makes when it goes down is so cool - I tell everyone that I feel like I'm driving a rocket.

No check engine light?

Just a tiny blinking red light on the spoiler's manual switch will come on when you reach approx. 65 mph, and it will continue to blink until you turn the car off. I never even notice mine blinking at night, because of its low location. If it bothers ya, a 1/4" square piece of silver duct tape will cover it, and blend right in with the switch.
Or you could install a by-pass on/off switch directly to the fuse box and run the switch into the car like I did, then you can raise the spoiler at what ever speed that you want to. Total cost, just a few $'s for the switch and in-line fuse from Radio Shack.

There is a 'check engine' light. It's kind of hidden on the lower left side of the dash (behind the blinker switch). I sit at the perfect height so that I can't see it at all. I can only see it reflected in the door window.

I have never seen this blinking red light.

The light is supposed to blink to warn you that your spoiler hasn't gone up when you're approaching "lift off speeds". An audible alarm sounds off when you reach 90 mph or so. You will only see the light if you pull the fuse, or your spoiler quits working while in the down position.

Has anyone ever mentioned the upside down cruise control location? Switching from my BMW has me trying o invoke cruise when all I want to do is signal a turn. And vice versa.

I kept hitting the cruise stick for the turn signal for the longest right after we got the car.

Me too that precipitated several breathless moments behind the wheel...
