I have two of these - one for coffee, one for water - and they're absolutely great. But I remembered that I have a different one from LLBean that I like even better because it keeps coffee hot for much longer. It's essentially a thermos with a lid designed so you can drink from it directly like with a travel mug. I noticed they now also have a contigo-style one as well; don't know how that one is.

(lol sorry, they won't let me "steal" a bigger pic :P)

Wish the aux worked with the bespoke unit that's about it

Time to add something to this its been too long. Anyone else have the door swing back at them when they open it? I feel like in every other car I've driven you can open it and it stays. With this car you have to hold it till their is absolutely no movement or it will swing back at you with all the force that you used to open it with.

Mini cooper doors swing back like no other and feel heavier than FR-S doors by a mile. Even worse when you're holding something while getting out like a cup of coffee and you're in a tight parking spot.

The ONLY thing I dislike about it is where the put the little hook things for the floormats on the drivers side. I like to have my left leg cocked back with my foot near the seat when driving for long stretches and that little bump on the floor mats annoys the bottom of my foot.

Seat belts front and rear make serious racket at speed with windows open.

Look at the other small sports coupes (not "sporty coupes," Civic Si, etc) that have come out in the past 10 years, name any that have been successful that have been hatchbacks. RX-8, Miata, S2000, MR2, Genesis/Tiburon are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. All non-hatchback.

Does the STi count as a sport hatchback? The 5-door.

That's a pretty successful car..

Yeah, this would irritate me as well. (Dont have my 86 yet)
The current model Civic that my fiancee drives (which has been derided so much in the press) has these strong detents along the doors arc that holds it steady, even on inclines

Here are a few minor things I dislike:
-No rear window wiper (but love the clean look without one)
-Auto-on headlights in between off and parking lights
-Loss of GPS satellite reception
-2nd gear engagement is difficult while cold
-Minimal of feedback from clutch
-USDM exhaust tips

Still love driving every second of it though.

i hate that i have a couple grand more to save before buying it, meaning there's gonna be MORE miles on the R56, which means less for that. dammit. also: that i don't have it yet

He said small sports coupe, which I assume is a 2 door car.

Then the Hyundai Veloster comes to mind.

The Veloster has 3 doors.

And technically, any mid-engine two-seater is a hatchback.
