I don't like the position of the 'front' cup holders. The transmission tunnel is, for me, a comfortable place for my right arm while 'working the gears', and any drink held by the cup holder gets in my way while shifting. For example, a bottle of Aquafina won't do in the cup holder, and probably belongs in a foot well. Rolling around. I like the design of the cubby underneath my arm (sliding top / lift-up-and-there's-more), but I would like cup holders that didn't get in the way of car operation.

My observation pertains to what appears to be 'tire dust' on the back edges of the rear wheel body openings. I'm driving 'conservatively' and am very surprised to observe 'tire material' accumulation on the body behind the tires. I think the rubber compound is 'soft', but . . wow. I hate to see my tires throwing off their outer surfaces.

One major gripe was the short tread life of the OEM tire. Hate to say it, but I would look into new tires soon.

This may very well turn out to be true, but they grip very well. If they last well at all, I might consider replacing them with RE040's.

I am still driving somewhat cautiously with the car, but I think it has more grip than my BMW540 with Pirelli P6000's.
