edit: crap someone answered that already. So while i'm taking up space here:

One thing I didnt know about when I bought the car was that the parking brake adjustment hole was right under the coin tray...until one day I tried to hide something (yes "something") under the coin tray and ended up having to deconstruct the entire center console to recover it.

AND having just recently been in an accident, I now realize the Z handles being T-boned by a Suburban PRETTY WELL! All passengers A-OK.

You can also roll up your window from the outside in case some of you did not know. If you stepped out of your car and forgot to roll up your windows, insert your key and turn the key clockwise and hold it for 2+ secs, your windows will roll up.

sorry bro, i drove the car and loved it, that's all the research i had to do...... don't see what the problem with that is?? anyone else?? i don't think finding out about all those 'extra' features is going to make me unhappy about the purchase....... anyway... thanks for trying to make me look stupid but i buy what i like, that's all there is to it.

Thats about it, I looked in the manual and found both trunk releases on the car, and found out I can drop the windows with remote, I do it every time I get to my car, love it! I still love the sound of the exhaust....power has started feeling a little on the lighter side, wish I had TT's but I do like the fact my car is almost paid off
AUTO UP AND DOWN??? i know it goes DOWN..... but how do you make it go up??? i'm sure i can go figure it out now......but let me know! that's dope.
