you know there is a 1-2k solution for that... i'm strongly considering dynamatting my car which will significantly reduce the noise... if you go crazy (which i wont, i want to hear the engine) you can turn the car into something with almost lexus level sounds...

Imagine that, then you will truly be able to enjoy the ear destroying ringing sound with no distractions

Every single solitary car in the world does this..."solution" you just don't roll the window down for 1/2 hour or so "depending on the weather" after washing it or getting it washed...

For the joy this car gives me, the complaints are really minor. Biggest complaint is lack of visibility. Hate to back out of my driveway trying to peer out of the pass side rear window. LOL!

Once I'm going forward, absolutely no complaints. And boy does this thing go forward!

Actually my biggest complaint is having to make car payments. My last car was paid off for 5 years, so this car payment sh*t really sucks.

My only complaints are the in-cabin rattles (a LOT of them coming from many different places) and the paper-thin paint job.

Every thing else is incredible.

I really dislike the fact that the mirrors don't fold down when you close the car.

Why the hell make it manual with a button inside the car. just let it do it everytime the car closes and starts up. my fricking renault had that

what are people talking about with blind spots?? Turn your mirrors OUT for driving and IN for backing up. With mirrors out when the front end of a car vanishes from my rear view mirror, it appears in my side view mirror. With the mirrors in you can use them to see your car clearance and anything near you. I've never had a problem with visibility, and I back into nearly every spot I take

So how far out are you talking? Do you see any of the rear quarter panels in your mirrors? I have mine set so I barely see them. I know the rule is to set your mirrors so you see the back corners but maybe you have it figured out.
