The squeeeks! My hardtop, seat belts and seats(?) are squeeking. It's really starting to annoy me. Just when I thought I figure where all the squeeks are coming from, a new one willl arise from stuff you put it in the car.

At night it is hard to see the key hole because the inside light turns off when you close the door. The light should turn off when the ignition is engaged.

No pause on the CD player -- or am I just not looking hard enough?!

Hah... pause = power button. When you turn it back on, the CD resumes where it was.

1) Interior light- can't decide if it wants to be courteous or not. When you unlock the car with the fob, it lights up. But when you get in and close the door, it immediately goes out. With no lighted ring around the ignition key, it's sometimes hard to find. But then when you turn the car off, it comes on again. Just a little delay between closing the door and startup would be great.

2) No central unlock (already mentioned)

3) Lack of places to put basically anything. I never realized how easy it was to reach over to a glovebox to get something until I had to reach behind me to the storage bin on the S2000!

But yeah, if that's all I have to complain about, then life is good

There are a few, fortunately all are ergonomic to me.

- Window switches are awkward to reach, I'd rather that they be on the center console around the shifter a la some BMWs.

- I want a power door luck switch so that I can unlock both doors at once. Passengers (at night) pretty much cannot find the unlock.

- I want an external temp gauge somewhere, to me that's a necessity in a convertible.

- The sound system. It sucks. Make rear panel speakers standard or something, or ditch the sound system altogether. My kneecaps are the only parts of my body that get great sound.

Overall though, I'm quite pleased with the car

No tilt wheel. They could have kept cruise control, but I want a tilt wheel!

None of the others listed have bothered me at all.
