Not a fan of the cupholder position but it doesn't bother me that much.

2 things that I hate:

5x100 bolt pattern
Torque dip

Ditto. I managed to get a small oval slightly-convex mirror and am trying to rig it up on the back shelf to look over to the side. It kinda works but would be better if I could get it deeper into the bottom of the window plus I'm having difficulty mounting it. At present it looks like I may have to cut a hole in the shelf. Anyone with any bright ideas?

I hate not having alot of storage inside the car
Glove box too small to put anything other than a pair of sun glasses and some CD's...
Kind of wish it's a little bigger since it's the primary storage area

What is this "torque dip"? My AT (sorry) shifts at 4k in plain-old "D". Eveyone else is in the mirror, and I'm being conservative on the gas.

I bet if you learned how to drive well despite the "limitations" of the car you might be a better driver. I suspect people who complain about the "torque dip" can't drive out of a wet paper bag.

Don't like the poor control of the auto trans over set speed of cruise control on descents. Can I sue if I get a speeding fine.
When I flip the sunvisors back up the gongggg sound from the roof is like you are in a 44gallon drum. Uncool. Unsophisticated.

I wrote a response to this post, but I deleted it because it was overly combative. So instead, I will just post this.

Yeah I have the convex mirror too, I would recommend a big one, would really help, and dont tint your rear windows too dark, lol..

I do one of those every time I log on.

I was about to respond to the topic but it would have been combative towards your combative post so...

Don't let me stand in the way of being combative, I can take it. What's wrong with your FR-S/BRZ that makes you suck as a driver?
