Annoyances

I am in agreement with you 110% on the headlamps settings, it's really strange and counter intuitive. I also have issue with the driver's side seatbelt not retracting without encouragement, but I can live with that.

So far its def. the lack of a stock Aux port in the 04. The lack of memory on the seats are annoying. Rain flying in when i open my windows a tad. 1st or 2nd gear is crazy long... (I have a auto not sure if the manual is like that) and the soft paint is ridiculous. I walked by my car and scratched it by accident with a nerf gun... wont come out O__o

I did not like the way the clutch would release. It was hard to get away smoothly. Then the peddle went to the floor and stayed there.
The new replacement clutch feels normal and is easy to use. Makes me wonder if there was an issue before.
Bought the car with 27k miles. Replaced clutch at 97k miles. Maybe it was traded in due to a bad clutch?
So, I hated the old clutch.
Then there is the paint. Black car.
Interior - door handles chipping.
Weather stripping on doors not staying fully seated.
Dash backlighting starting to fail, as is the clock light.
That's a lot to not like, but the car feels right when driving.

If you can ease in and aim your a$$ for the middle of the seat it can be prevented. Of course that's no help for a seat that's already torn.

For like a hundred bucks an upholstery shop can replace the vinyl and do the TSB to file down the sharp trim.

True... I guess if this one starts ripping too I'll have to go that route

The security system wont engage when locking car in my 04 coupe. Passenger side ok but drivers side no. Have to manually lock drivers for it to work, then manually unlock before alarm goes off. Is there a reset process for this?
Other **** off is rattling windows.
Then there's the stereo - had 6 cd's stuck in there for a year - they don't wanna play, and they don't wanna come out.

Man, when I first saw that pic I thought they were some wicked dyed black and white seats (cuz of the shadows). I wanna dye my seats like that shadow pattern now.
