Sounds like a small piece of plastic is hitting the blades and will drive you nuts quickly.
The noise I hear is more like a whining electric motor sound. I have learned to tune it out...but it still annoying quality control.

Their problem is they put one of the fans right behind our heads so any sound could be detected.

Like I said I do not use it. When cleaning the center console I accidentally hit the button.

The gas cap holder is terrible. Cap falls off all the time.

And once opened, the filler door doesn't seem to close properly. The front, leading edge (hinge side) sticks out beyond the body just a tiny bit.

I feel like a fool and I am sure all know about the already but I just discovered the storage space under the palm rest on the console! Guess reading the manual is good sometimes.

I agree the first Gen had a really bad turning radius. I haven't yet driven the 4th Gen but I can say the 3rd Gen I had as a loaner had a significantly better turning radius than the first Gen by leaps and bounds. So something must have gone backwards here. Can anyone else confirm this?

4th gen turning radius is pretty much the same as the 3rd gen. Id assume the wheels turn more lock to lock to achieve that especially as the wheelbase is longer now.

I found it pretty annoying that the glove box light turns on only if the tail lights are on. There are countless occasions in which I park in a dark parking lot and need to open the glove box and the light cannot be on. Is there any way to make it turn on whenever it's open any time? Does anyone feel the same or has anyone done anything about it?

I just found the coin box and button to open the coin box. I feel like it's my "secret compartment" because it's hard to see if you don't know it's there.
