If you aren't rooted, maybe now is the time to do it.

That is possibly it. Unfortunately, I can't root my X because I use it for work email and its against the corporate rules and I need my job more than I need streaming audio!

The MAN is holding me down again....

Chrome door handles? They don't come with chrome door handles.... From reading that and the rest of your post, I don't think you were the first person to mess with your car....

Back to the original topic...

The seat belt, as others have said, cuts into my neck. The strap helps, but is not a cure.

The stock speakers are junk. Already blew out the passenger side dash midrange. And there is a lot of low end distortion coming from the door speakers. I bought the car with plans to replace the entire stereo anyway, but it is still disappointing. My Chevy HHR had a GREAT stereo.

The fact that the fog lamps were not available at launch. I got impatient and bought mine without them (obviously).

The third brake light! Wish they could have implemented it into the trunklid or something. Trying to get it out of the way for window tinting is proving to be a major PITA.

You mean that rattle, like it has a loose heat shield?

Yes, yes. Exactly that noise. Do you hear that noise too?

ah... duh I don't know why I didn't even think about those. He's right they do seem a little out of place now that I think about it.

Really miss my steering wheel remote controls on the MX5 Mazda.

Hope they introduce it at some point - and I'll swap out the steering wheel in a heartbeat!

The seatbelt is definitely carving into my neck hardcore.

I was at the gym yesterday and I noticed some pain on the left side of my neck... yep - turns out it's exactly where the seatbelt rests.

Poor design choice on their part...

My only hate is the stupid hood prop rod. I know it's cost thing, but geez, charge me 50 bucks more for a set of dampers so I can open the hood and not worry about a gust of wind blowing it off the rod.

Seat belt did bug me at first, but between adjusting the seat height and position that's no longer an issue.

Admittedly the interior materials aren't premium, but I can live with that, that's not why I bought the car. In my eyes, it's still a beautiful car and it's pure joy to drive. Honestly for the money paid I think it's a tough package to beat!

The analog speedometer seems pointless to me. I -never- use it while driving since the digital readout is right near the center of the dash and tach. I would have much preferred that they use that space for oil temp and...FP, IT? Something besides the useless speedo.

Love the car, but hate the orange lights, they should all be red to match!

Are you all putting the seat belt through the loop at the top of the seat? I had the same complaint until I realized what that loop was for. Now it rests right across my shoulder.
