I wish the back up camera were a little clearer. I wish the seat heaters were hotter. I also wish it wouldn't dim lights in the dark(like bright lights better especially at dusk). Wish heads up was a little brighter for sunglasses. And I wish the center console cig lighter plug worked all the time (not just with the key on)Oh I wish it had a garmin instead of the crazy gps it has now.
Other than those I LOVE the car...just wish it had a blower.

Side mirrors that fold in automatically
Apple Carplay
Battery access door in rear cargo area
Ability to have the Vette on the Touring screen match my car (not a white base model)
An app store with available downloads

I love the car but I wish the nav was better. It gets the job done but the nav on my 08 Cadillac was way nicer and had lots of additional features. It's the only option that I regret getting.
Also my vented seats are barely noticeable even when they are on full power. It's no big deal but I was expecting them to be a little more powerful.

They call it an accident for a reason. Noone means for bad things to occur.

I don't like having to take it to a Chevy dealer for service.

Seat belts and airbags mitigate injury after a crash. Blind spot warnings help prevent an accident. Very different stuff. However, it's very easy to adjust your mirrors to see your blind spot and learn to use them. The car is already nearly 3400 lbs base... no more weight please.

Just about the only thing I don't like is rear visibility when backing up. The rear view camera is fine when there's no traffic around and nothing around me is moving. But in a crowded parking lot I find it difficult to determine whether the cars to my sides and rear are in reverse or not, moving or not.

The god awful cup holders. It is clear that was a huge afterthought.

Yes I agree, that is an issue as well as the blind spots at rear quarters. I installed 3" convex mirrors at outer edge of both rear view mirrors and they help some. The inside mirror-rear window-spoiler geometry prevents a simple solution. Maybe blind spot monitors in the future?

Try a seat cushion- that worked for my copilot on our 2012. So far she is OK with the seats on the 2015.

I have to hold the seat recall button instead of just pressing it once.
Infotainment doesn't like my ipod.
Edit: the fact I have to use the word "infotainment"
Pretty minor nits to pick.

Cheap standard floor mats. These THIN mats should be standard for the Spark not a 60-70K sports car. Glad there is Lloyds. I thought Chev was attempting to upgrade the interior of the corvette.
