Right, NO MATTER where, they seem to find me too and park right next to me!! I think the most annoying feature is the fact that you have to "reset" the Competitive Driving mode EVERY time you restart the car.

The most annoying feature for me, is the DAMN SEATBELTS. When I leave my driveway I have to learn forwards to see. And it ALWAYS locks on me the first 3 "lean forwards".[/QUOTE]
I cannot agree with you more. Not only annoying, but it was borderline dangerous for me when I first bought the car. It's taken sometime getting used to it.
Must say that I do love the car.

The "skip to 4th" features doesn't bother me. I can fake it out by rev'ing a little higher. What's annoying is the driver seat memory. It'll work fine for weeks and then it gets possessed by Christine for a few days. But it's a minor price to pay for driving a great car.

Cupholder gets my vote too. I have been laying mine on the seat. Looks like a direct connect setup too, thats sweet. I wouldnt go back to FM mod for anything after having the direct connect to the IPOD.

I think that the 'auto' feature on the AC is great but it is so annoying when it decides to switch from circulate to vent. Seems like it starts bringing outside air in only when I am by a friggin' skunk or close enough to suck in some other obnoxious fumes from outside.....

that is one of the most unusual placements of a frequently used button.

Maybe I'm missing something, but the T/C light being on when I've got all the other dash lights off is a pain. I'd love to be able to turn off all interior lighting and just run with the HUD at night w/o traction control. (or bright light reminder)
Anyone know a way to do this?
