I agree... It's like... come on guys... couldn't you at least match the interior light colors like virtually every other car in history?

Have yet to try speaking that way. Will give a shot next time. Car is stock so just dealing with regular road noise in the car.

Definitely dont HATE anything about the car but these are a few minor thinks that irk me.
The radio does that because you have an option on in your settings. I forget what its called which isnt much help but its called like ASW or something so turn that off because its useless and annoying.

Is it the microphone doesn't pick up your voice or it's drowned out by road noise?

It's the road. Plus bad mic placement.

I'm guessing its not picking up my voice because of the road noise. People say it sounds like the call cuts in and out like with bad reception, but the reception is not the problem.

You can also turn the mic volume up. As far as the call breaking. That shouldn't be on your end unless it's with everyone you talk.

Or maybe every window is tinted, some tints can block signals.

I wouldn't know. I never even thought if that. I can tell you, I have an iPhone5s, no tint, and I have the mic volume on four. I never have any complaints.

Lol this probably isn't really much of a big deal but I don't REALLY LIKE the fact that the gas thing is on the passenger side. Lol im coming from driving a 2005 Acura RL and the gas thing was on the drivers side lol I felt like a huge dumbass when i try to put gas on my car and it was on the wrong side hahaha.

But as of some negative thing i dislike about the car well I can't really think of anything.

The high clutch catch point. My two previous cars had lower catch points. Been driving a manual for over 10 years, and never had a car this particular when it comes to shifting. Sometimes I get a little overlap every now and then.
