I think he means the friction from his ass and the leather. I assumed it was a joke, but who knows!

+1 for jokes needing explanations! lol

[Scooby]

it's not funny if you have to explain it...at that point, it's just sad.

[pepperdro]

YOU'RE SAD!!!!!


ok, I'm done pouting now...

[GT10]

+18,235 on the golf clubs not fitting...

No kick plates
No optional interface to control anything but an ipod... I hate iCrap and refuse to own any of it.
they removed the mirror blinkers and foot well lighting
No place for change! I really hate this.

3. The Bose system does kind of suck.

4. I don't know if it's by design, but the front windows rock back and forth in the window track. The guy tinting my windows showed me and stated he hadn't seen this before.

Other than those few items, I still LOVE the car!

Mine do the same thing... I thought that maybe the windows had been installed incorrectly but I guess not!

I deal with whatever issues I come across. Its a $20k car which is a million times better then other cars in the same price range.

The noise the windows make when their down annoys me to but if I left my windows down all the time the black interior would be grey looking from all the dust. Leaving them up all the time just to keep the interior clean is worth it. I stopped bitching about the windows just for that reason alone. I had a 2005 G35 that the rear windows rattled also and the dealer didn't have any answer for it. I was far more pissed about that than my econo mazda doing it. ABS on the G35 made stupid noises also and I was told it was normal. I could bitch about any car I've ever owned or leased. Ford Explorer burned oil at 70,000 miles, sold it quick so I never found out why. VW Jetta blew valve seals at 20,000. Acura Legend coupe bolts fell out of the self closing doors at 5,000 miles. Saab 9000 couldn't keep the serpentine belt on for more than a couple thousand miles at a time then completely blew it's tranny at 50,000 in addition to frying tailight bulbs constantly. On and on and on. Acura was the best, Saab the worst. Used to commute from Tucson to Pheonix daily at 100+mph with the Jetta so the valve seals had every right to fail. Besides I used to get caught in dust storms like once a week also. LoL

I 100% agree with the whimpy horn they stuck us with. Just BAD! I hate that they made mid year changes and I no longer have side lane change blinkers on my mirrors,nor do I have the blue floor illumination. Having the 3 five door GT w/the Tech.package and the Moonroof/6cd/bose package should have gotten me those options. Some people do not like the small Nav, I personally do not mind it. It comes with compass that actually works pretty cool with lat/long settings.
I do like the long list of "good" items that came with the GT.

Found something I didn't like. The cup holders are in an awkward position. When I put a drink there, the straw pokes into my arm if I rest it on the armrest or the shifter.

And my Verizon charger has been stuck in the front plug for close to a year.
