Nothing - I knew about the car before I bought it.

You won't miss a thing. The car is designed to just drive and it does it well. No hauling, towing, shopping, long distance traveling, no babies, only one family member at a time............the perfect ride.

Visits to CostCo? Bump that homie.

LoL the trick to getting out of the car without using your hands is to make sure that your left calf (providing you're getting out of the driver's side.. if not, the 'other' calf) is close as possible to the car when getting out.
CostCo
never had a harder time fitting
water bottles
milk
hot pockets
rice

with a passenger

and to the cup holders and driving with MASSIVE blind spots

and to add my own is pulling out of a parking spot in between 2 trucks

I really miss tilt steering, really wish they put it on this car. I also never realized how little adjustment there is on the seats, wish they moved back further and had more recline before hitting the rear panel.

Just want to mention one full Costco pizza fits in the trunk. Just sayin'

I usually toss my jacket on the passnger's seat but that becomes an issue when there actually is a passenger and I either have it end up on my lap or I kindly ask the passenger to hold it.

As mentioned by someone, the cupholders really only fit one bottle securely, and it's not ideal with a tall one because it kind of gets in the way.

Also as mentioned before, the sun-visors are nearly useless because they block my view (I'm 5'10") and they don't rotate to the side. I actually don't flip my sun visor all the way forward and instead I have it pointing at my forehead.

For these minor sacrifices you get this awesome and dynamic car.

I lost my ability to tolerate rubbery-feeling manual transmissions.

My last car was a base model with no power anything, the only thing it had was a bit more space and some elbow room. One of the only thing that annoys me about the 2K is there is no where to put your left elbow comfortably. Other than that, I never need extra space and I like the aggressive drive. I added heated seats and all the other amenities make it better than most cars on the road (AC, power windows, locks etc)
