Can't you set it to do this?

Yes it does
-Interior map light isn't push to turn on.
-No 12v outlet in a good position for anything on the dash, i.e. GPS.
USB is pretty good spot and there is an outlet in the glovebox
-Car is too slow relative to its cornering capability. This car revs slower than anything I have ever owned (at least that's my perception), slow rev's doesn't feel very sporty. Reminds me of my Evo9 in Neutral (no boost).
Try a tune or at least a better filter and pulley. The car is slow though but with i/h/e/t you could hit 200+ if estimates hold true.
-Analog speedo is wasted space. Much prefer other gauges.
TOTALLY AGREE! I wish there was an exhaust temp and oil pressure or something there
-Dash doesn't dim all the way to dark.
Keep scrolling?
-Electronic display is very limited in total info available at one time. It's weird to have two buttons that alter data in a single space. i.e. ODO or MPG, can't have both. I really would prefer a small LCD with a lot more information and ability to program features (like auto lock/unlock, headlights on for 1 min after car turns off, etc.) Larger production #'s would have helped here, but still it's 2012, so I expect more.
I kinda like simple. My M3 felt like it had a tad too much
-Electronic display for speed looks like every alarm clock sold in the USA from 1980-2000.
Yup, but the car is cheap what did you expect?
-Lack of storage spots, but this is relative, since it is a small car. I would really like the covered armrest. I need a place to stash receipts without them flying out of the car with the windows down.
Me too... I am hoping the aftermarket will make a snap in cover for the center area. Those cup holders are useless anyways since the door ones hold larger beverages as well as actually having the ability to hold them in the first place
-Already have P0019 code after only 200 miles. Taking back to dealer
That sucks. Full factory warranty though.
-Cup holders are too far back when using the 12v outlet.
Use the door pockets for cups. The center thing is useless.
-No frame around door windows, I worry about long term movement of the windows every time the door opens or closes.
Lots of cars do this. The cheap quality and 2 inches of movement have me worried about longevity though
-Fuel door on wrong side. I never understood why I would want to walk around to the other side of the car to get gas???? Maybe I'll ask my lady friend passengers to fill 'er up? 
Yea, I have two cars on the right and two on the left. I always forget which side to go to.
-Horn. Sounds worse than my scooter's horn.
The big red horns do fit and easy enough to install. I have mine for when I put the trans cooler and oil cooler in.
Overall, this is an excellent car for $25K. Looks like it would cost twice that.
