    I think the visibility is poor. I'm getting used to it, though.

    That would be my biggest complaint. I can't tell how far away my back bumper is, and can't see past the gas cap in the mirrors.

    Speaking of mirrors, they seem small to me. Maybe I've driven too many trucks.

    The time on the clock is very small.

    And the driver seat not moving forward quickly for rear passengers. Have to wait for it to slowly move forward.

    The seats in the back are a major pet peeve but you go in knowing its a sports car so not to expect a comfortable back seat for passengers.

    It's more that the passenger side has a manual latch to slide it forward quickly, driver side can only move electricly, so you got one friend in the back passenger, one in the front passenger, and you and fourth friend are still outside while the seat slowly goes bzzzzzzzzzzzz.

    I don't expect a ton of room in the back. It's actually got a lot of head room, lack of head room drives me more nutty than lack of leg room. I've had it with being in the back of a car where my necks on the rear windshield.

    A couple more to add.

    The big white gauges are ridiculously bright. I have to turn the brightness all the way down to drive at night (especially with the stock SXT headlight bulbs). It's annoying when you need to have lights on during the day (like in rain or fog), the dash pretty much disappears when you flip the lights on, until you turn it back up.

    And the SXT bulbs are pretty stupid. Can't freaking see at all with those. I just spent $20,000, can you put some decent bulbs in this thing? Had to remedy that really quick.

    I have three pet peeves:

    The absence of light bulb receptacles for the glove box and hood.

    Soft paint that chips easily.

    Cheap black plastic interior and exterior plastic trim, especially the rocker panels.
