#1.The shifter vibrates and makes a very loud buzzing noise at high RPM.
#2.The suspension is not very compliant with road imperfections.
#3.The driver seat was made for fatass americans and moves side to side and clicks.
#4.The side view mirrors are a complete failure/design flaw. Huge blind spots on both sides, even with the mirrors angled out 100%.
#5.The rear hatch sticks and you have to push the release button repeatedly.
#6.Having to push on the paint to get the gas door open.

#1.The shifter vibrates and makes a very loud buzzing noise at high RPM.
My friend who is a manual enthusiast told me the shifter is supposed to vibrate so i dont know it as bad. I also dont get the loud buzzing noises at high RPM. My engine doesn't do the super loud thing thats terrible that reviewers complain about.
#2.The suspension is not very compliant with road imperfections.
This is the softest Z i ever felt, its kind of disappointing for me.
#3.The driver seat was made for fatass americans and moves side to side and clicks.
I too was getting a click at the start, either it doesnt click any more or i have tuned it out. My seat doesnt slide side to side. I am 6 feet and 149 pounds, i am no where near fat @ss and everybody says i am bone skinny. The seats fit just right. I am going to take a wild guess and say your of short stature, simply becuase you cant get much skinner than me.
#4.The side view mirrors are a complete failure/design flaw. Huge blind spots on both sides, even with the mirrors angled out 100%.
Name one coupe that doesnt suffer from this issue.
#5.The rear hatch sticks and you have to push the release button repeatedly.
This did happen to me twice actualy. I pressed the button once more since it was not life or death i was satisfied it opened hehe. I guess if i had to throw my groceries in there really fast i would be upset, but i can wait to put them in for a second push LOL.
#6.Having to push on the paint to get the gas door open.
I with you on this one. Having to put my fingers on it kind of annoys me. BUT since i use zaino and my car is kind of "sealed" i know that my finger print will come off and not do any weird stain after repeated touch in same spot so i am satisfied with that.
