You are absolutely right Greybeard999, I agree with you. Also, there is no other area to put the battery due to such a small hood. Although it is a pain to get to it. My biggest would have to be the air filter and rear seat fold down. Had they extended the vehicles an extra couple of inches I wouldn't have to take off the head rests. I have to have the seats all the way back due to my size. Oh well, nothing is perfect. The car has alot of positives.

What the donut won't fit up front WTF! Stop lights, um I actually use the sun roof to look at lights. especially after deep staging lol.

My gripe is no drive indicator on the dash.

Error ? no. But having the option for telescopic steering would have been on my list..

Brody knob was the alternative answer..

Headlight bulb change is pretty bad.



I am only 5'4" so the stoplight scrunch doesn't apply to me.

For me, low roofline sightline was solved with Lightinsight. My gripe was with the deadly doorlocks that attack elbows, also solved with a set of stubbys.
