The paddle shifters should remain at 9 and 3, rather than rotating with the wheel. No dip in the passenger side mirror when backingup. No heated wheel in the winter package.

Biggest disappointment = Bose sound system's ridiculously narrow EQ spectrum. My Subie WRX had a premium factory system that sounded WAY better.

Other gripes = wispy Open Sky sun shades, impractical rear drink holders and that funky e-brake/armrest ergonomic issue (though I keep the arm rest high enough to be out of the way).

Which conti's? I now have Bridgestone RE960AS Pole Positions, its a night & day difference sound wise, I have not tested the performance yet, breaking them in slowly. Performance wise there was nothing wrong with the Pirelli's imo, but wrongly did not rotate them between the 5k and 15k svc's and they became unbearably loud. With my new set and I recommend to you, to rotate your tires every 3k to 5k. Maybe it has something to do with low profile tires or the cars weight, I do not know. My dealer only charges $25 to rotate my old ones, I should have done it more often.
