Sun visor doesn't rotate around to the side. Highly annoying when the sun is beaming you right in the face from the side...

The ability to go anywhere without worrying about scraping. It took me awhile to get used to this, but now it's almost second nature. I also miss heated seats a lot more than I expected to.

I gained conveniences! I drove a Fiat X1/9 before the S, so I gained AC, CD player, and yes, even the cup holder. Oh, and I do tow a trailer too!

I find the sunvisor completely useless in the S. Can't rotate to the side, blocks my view when I flip it down, and does not rotate above the windshield to block sun when the top is down.

Hmm let's see coming from a coupe/hatch. I miss not being able to throw my jackets or other items in the backseat and being able just reach back there and grab it.

But other than that love the S and being able to carry one passenger which is great for me so I don't have to be the one to carpool the friends around if need be. Usually, my wife is the only one riding in the passenger seat.

Thank god we also have a suv, this car definitely would not satisfy my lifestyle alone.

cupholders and the fact that I have to put my gfs purse or belongings in the trunk so that it doesnt take up all the footwell space when we go out on drives.

Ability to try to get lucky in the car, wayy to cramped lol
but seriously, i miss having the backseat to throw a backpack or random stuff in. I drove a prelude before my S, its kinda a pain to have to stop to open the trunk to get anything bigger than a shoe out of. lol

If you have a little one or a baby, you will find yourself driving your S less and less each year unless you use it to commute to work everyday.

(speaking from personal experience)
