Nothing really, this is a sports car so cup holder issues dont bother me, in fact I just use a metal camelbak water bottle and stow it infront of the pass seat - with the seat all the way back you can put something on the floor between the seat and the hump.

Those are the only two complaints I have. The sun visors are pretty much useless. Can't swing them to the side. Flip them down and they completely obliterate my view. Can't flip them up above the windshield to block sun coming over the top. My 1973 Mustang convertible had visors that would flip up above the windshield.

Well, sorry and I'm sure people will jump on this reply. But here goes. Sold my pristine Miata R package (now ownwed by a guy in Norway and has its own website) looked for a year and found a 2005 S2000 with only 28,000 miles. One owner, mint condition. brand new tires. Wanted a vehicle with a convertible top that was easier to put down and use. No glove box that was decent to use. Blast to drive. Hated the problems with the convertible top tears above passenger's head. Honda no help. I put on a new top. One week later I could see where it was now going to rub where the front latches. Hated getting in and out of the car. Most difficult one I've ever used on a daily basis (summer only I'm in Idaho). Sold it one year later with only 32,000 miles on it. One week after I put the top on. Two happiest days in my life of the car -- The day I bought it and the day I sold it. It totally pissed me off. Up next, maybe a 350 or 370 Z, a used 911, Oh yeah, I know different types of cars and more maintenance costs. Maybe a Mazdaspeed Miata plus some extra goodies. Bottom line: different strokes for different folks. I still enjoy the knowledge gained on this forum.

1) The little carpet in the tray behind the seats NEVER sits right.
2) Always worried about it at work (I Have to park by the unloading ramp at a Dealership.)
3) The Lip of the seat isnt adjustable and i get sore legs on long drives.

You sir should have considered a Civic or Accord rather than an S if being too low and not having a convenient location for beverages is a concern when you're driving.

It is significantly loud driving over 60. But its expected with a soft top so I understand. The blind spots with the top up are horrible I have to stick my head out the damn window. And like everybody else said the inability to shift with any sort of cup in the cup holder.

I hate when the starter gets stuck on cold days and makes that awful noise.

I would say the fuel gauge. On the last one or two bars, it is very inaccurate and difficult to tell how much gas is in the tank...it freaks me out sometimes.
