Wife who is pregnant cant get out of the car because there is no "oh shit" handle. It would be nice to have a handle to get out. Grabbing the roof with rings on is not good for the paint.

Dam blind spot.

Otherwise the car is awesome. Easiest oil change in the world.

What blind spot? With mirrors adjusted, there's none.

Agreed on lack of OS handles

Hmmmm. There's nothing I really hate about my fr-s other than the fact that they cam out with an awesome color the next year after I have already bought mine and fixed it up

Well, RFB, I take the glass half full philosophy ...... the thinner sheet metal makes it easier for the PDR person to push out the dents and the thinner paint doesn't crack as easily ...

Unfortunately - more dents, and more paint chips, even from insects !

After owning the car for 1 week:

-Lack of storage space inside for random "stuff"
-Wish the headlights could be aimed just one level higher
-Fragile paint
-For some reason, I always get shocked when I close the door after getting out of the car. Static from my butt rubbing the seat on the way out?

Other than those... this little car is fantastic. GF loves the creature comforts (dual climate, heated seats, bolstered seats, vanity mirror light, etc.)
