Window button placement, of course, because I can't close both fronts at once without some kind of Tai Chi move.
But far and away my #1 pet peeve (insert drumroll here): I can't keep the back of the M****F**** clean for even 1 hour!
Otherwise, LOVE LOVE LOVE the car.

I voted "other". I don't like the look of the plastic on the dash. I'm not talking about the plastic around the stereo controls, but the actual dash. It has a sheen to it that I find distracting. To ad to my frustration, I don't care for any of the dash cover products that I have seen so far. Who want's a big chunk of carpet on their dash? IMHO it looks like someone ripped up a peice from the floor boards and dropped it no the dash. Even the best dash covers look ghetto to me.
I may try to find some vynil, or better yet, leather and cover the dash with that.

Is the car perfect? No! I have things that I would like to change. If I didn't feel so passionately about this car, I would just deal with the dash. But I am passionate about it. So, I want to make it as perfect for ME as possible. I plan on keeping this car for a long time!

I don't look at it as complaining so much as providing feedback. I love my HHR so far. It is the first car that I have owned in a VERY long time that I will go out to the garage just to look at. I'd say the last car I owned that provoked that much emotion was a 1980 280Z that I owned in the early '90s.

And the one car I have always dreamed of owning, Porsche turbo Carrera

I just thought of one lastnight while driving after dark. Why do they think we (in the US) need to be reminded that our speed is being shown in MPH, by illuminating the MPH light on the speedometer? I keep thinking my hi-beams are on, from seeing that MPH light on the speedometer in my peripheral vision.
I'll add another to the list, it's too bright inside at nite. Is there anyway to turn off the headliner led?
