No cupholders in the rear, VQ35DE motor instead of VQ35HR motor, placement of dome lights suck (yes, that really does bother me, being Deaf), no LED turn signals on side mirrors (really? even the cheapo VWs of the same year had them), no autolock (really? c'mon!),Car is easily moddable so My wallet is having a heart attack. Must. Resist. Moar. Power.

G35 coupe 6MT Brembo Premium
That the first owner of my '03 coupe opted for the door side-moldings/door protector strips OEM. They kinda make the car look dated, you seriously only see them on '90's cars and lower end early 2000's cars. Tried taking them off and realized that there has been a paint job on the drivers side door where the side moldings weren't removed during the re-paint. Now I have to save up for a body-shop job to get them removed, panels resprayed and blended. I seriously hate the look.

Two words. Clutch. Engagement. It took me about a week to get used to it. It still feels odd compared to any other manual I've driven. And it's still hot or miss when I slip the clutch. There was 0 learning curve on my SRT4, RSX, or Mustang. This car? Yea. It's like learning to drive stick all over again.
Power windows. WTF. I've tried the reset and still it's an effort to get the auto roll up to go up. Annoying as hell.
Rattles. Gotta love the fact a 9 year old luxury car with 35k on the clock rattles. WTF?
Too much low. This is a self inflicted wound (kind of). The car is dumped on 20's (literally tucking them into the wheel wells with stretched tires and about 1/2" of sidewall) with rolled fenders. People in the back seat? Rear tires rub into the wheel wells. 1" curb? Find another way around. Speed bump? F*ck that. Slope on the driveway? Go slooooooow. Needless to say the cars getting raised a bit tomorrow.
Other than that, I love the car. It handles great. It looks amazing. It's comfortable as hell. Chicks dig it. Dudes envy it. I'm happy regardless of the the shortcomings the car has.

Can't tell you the number of times my G/F and I have gotten out of the car, walked into a store, and noticed the cup holder insert was stuck to the bottom of her water bottle.
