Default Some issues/flaws???

Just wondering if other owners have minor quibbles about the sc.

Mine would be
1- the seatbelt seems unwilling to retract a lot of times when i lean forward. This is a safety concern of mine

2- I HATE THE CUP HOLDERS!
Too shallow to do any cup holding.

I ended up buying the ones at autozone that you clip into the air condioning vents. These work better but still pry loose.

Any other small gripes on an otherwise amazing car?

Glad to see someone else complain the cup holders cannot hold anything. Water bottle fall out, cups of water and coff cannot stay in place. I am surprised not to see more complaints and even saw a review that the cupholders work great -- am I missing something? Anyone have an after-market fix?

Pretty good alternative though it blocks the vent should you need A/C. I use the center right vent to hold mine

First off, I think the car is an absolute marvel of science and I do like it much more than I thought I would. I purchased it for my wife, but might drive it now just a little more than her. I think weather stripping on the front door near the mirror was not designed properly. The piece that the window stretches when it is in it's upright position that eventually cracks causing wind noise. The materials used in the rubber should have been stronger, or they should have increased the height of the section where the window comes in contact with it by about 1/8 or 1/4 of an inch. There is simply to much stress on it and almost always tears.
