the only thing i dislike is the factory wheels. not my taste but they arent the worst wheels. id rather have a nice 6 spoke dish wheel. something clean and simple there seems to be too much going on with these strange ones but they have character and thats what i love most about the car.

Side mirrors are worthless when it's foggy out.

my friend has the Veloster Turbo, its not bad, the 3rd door is def weird.. but my stock frs still takes him easily. Im assuming because of the weight. they make the same hp but the turbo veloster makes like 30 more tq i think. regardless, i love my frs and wouldn't trade for his veloster turbo.. ever.

Hate that the mirrors do not have a defogger... Gonna suck with winter coming in and fogging and freezing the mirror up.
Any DIY ideas? Or something to help clear or prevent the fogging/freezing?

Keep them clean and use Rain-X anti-fog.

Any time a new model of any car comes out it seems the designers always hold back on a few design ideas so they can be introduced in the upcoming models to make them more attractive to the buying public. One thing that comes to my mind is the third tail light. It's a pita for cleaning the rear window where it's at now and I suspect it will be changed in coming model years.

One of the few things I hate, and I do mean HATE, is the 2nd gear synchro in the manual transmission. I swear to god if 2nd gear crunches one more time, I may just have to kill myself. Anyone else have this problem? Just me??
