After driving my little Hyundai Accent for 5 months, I have found only two things I don't like about it.
1. With the engine running, if you unbuckle the driver's seat belt, the car dings at you; or if you open the driver's side door with the engine running, the car dings at you; BUT the only low fuel warning you get is a little illuminated gas pump in the tach window.
2. There's an arm rest on the right side of the driver's seat but you have to be either really short or have really long arms to use it. I don't lean that much, plus with the arm rest down, it gets in the way of the cup holders, so this really isn't that big of a deal.
I also don't like that car manufacturers think that drivers are only interested in automatic-down windows. Sure, it's great to hit the button when you're pulling up the toll booth and your window goes all the way down on its own, but what about when you're pulling away? Especially in a stick! And especially when it's raining! I know, I know. There are plenty of cars out there that not only have auto up and down for the driver's window, but they have it for the passenger's window as well. I rented a car once (I think it was a Nissan Maxima) that had auto up and down on all 4 windows. That was nice.
