Yes there should be a ring around the volume ****, assuming you have the standard radio. (I don't know about the cheaper cassette version). It has 3-4 stops on it that control how much louder the radio gets as the car picks up speed. Not real high tech as my wife's 2002 Suburban had the same thing.

I have had my coupe since June. No serious problems although a couple of things bug me. The top rear end of my drivers side window doesn't seal perfectly and produces some wind noise. It sounds like this is common so I figure I shouldn't worry about it. Ever since it started getting colder around here, I noticed that the top tends to rattle. I'm sure there is an adjustment for this too (maybe just wait till it gets warmer ).

The last problem was that my car didn't come with the HUD. I put that in myself! I like the HUD a lot more than I thought I would.
