True. I generally notice when I'm walking up on the car in parking lots, but I do understand your point. It's just my vanity speaking which can be controlled. If I couldn't, I would have purchased a SLK320

Honda should make the car lighter. I'm against making the car more "luxurious". I would opt for a manual top and no AC.

Lighter would be great, but the savings gained from deleting those would not be worth it to me. The power top gear is reportedly 6

A/C is a definite necessity. I personally like the digital tach, and I don't mind the quality of the stereo...half the time I turn it down so I can hear the engine anyways!

Well, excluding performance issues, I have to say that I have been disappointed in the quality of the exterior paint job. I know that there are EPA rules on the type of paints available now, but many other high end cars have a much better exterior finish.

The follow designs should be changed.
1. It is very difficult to estimate the correct oil level in the car.
2. The fuel gauge is inconsistent at low levels.
4. The Headlight wash is positioned where your elbow can easily access.
5. The leather seats rub on the plastic support directly behind the seats if they are pushed back
while a tall person is seated. This then makes an irritating sound.
6.Why use a 4 speaker cass/radio if only 2 channels are going to be used.
7. Get rid of the stereo controls on the dash. This will give all owners the option
to upgrade their stereo.
8. The speaker position needs to be changed or redesigned (2 way system). The high frequencies are lost when 2 people are seated.
9. No clock available.
10. Very tall people cannot stretch their legs.

I think they have got the weight vs comfort issue about right. If you want a car to give max lightness then you must look westerfield lotus etc.
