ever since i got my car broken into and window busted out, i have had to get my drivers side window replaced 3 times. the guys that are doing it apparently are having a hard time getting the glass out of in between the door and when i use the windown, i hear this awful scraping noise. its getting old and hopefully this time will be the trick. gotta get it fixed before the end of the year!! other than that, i cant stand the rattling in the car. never had that problem with my mazda6 or my focus and this car has it bad.
Any new annoyances?

Things annoying me:
1. Cold transmission. (when it's below 40F, its sticks (normal), and its jerky )
2. Rattle at 2500-3000 when its cold ( below 40)
both problems go away once it warms up, remote starter fixes the issue
3. oil leak on a brand new car. (getting it fixed now, been without my koup for 2 days going on 3, don't even have a loaner)
4. Tires got bald after 4000 miles, i drive hard, but not that hard, tires have lasted me over 30,000 miles before. i expected at least 15,000 from the koup. (trying to claim a warranty on them)
5. Humidity in my passenger side headlight. (legit water droplets, not just fogging)
6. Parking brake needs to be completely up to engage (tried to get the dealer to adjust it, they won't, "it would wear the pads out too quickly)
7. slightly out of alignment from the factory (pulls to the right, getting it fixed with the oil leak)
8. on really cold mornings, (20F), my brakes are noisy, not squeaky, just noisy as if there are rocks in them, goes away after applying the brakes 2-3 times. i am guessing the pads and rotors are kinda frozen in place (or have ice in-between them), so couple of pumps warm them up and i never feel it/ hear it again.
BTW,
My high beams do that sometimes, i just thought it's because they're 55W on a Harness. DDM 55W
Although i'm having all these problems, i love my koup to death and i never regret getting it. got into an Si today, and still prefer the koup.

Those bastards
About the keys hanging down... That's what makes the flip key so great, I don't have any keys attached to it and so nothing can dangle and hit it. :] Plus it's probably one of my favorite 'mods' so far lol
