The steering wheel is what really bothers me. It has a great feel to it, but i really think they could have done better than an altima steering wheel. It nearly ruins the look of the interior because it looks so cheap. What do you dislike about your car most?

Yeah, I hate the T shape of the steering wheel because there's nowhere comfortable to put my hand on long trips.

My Pet peeve list:

1) AC is defaulted as ON all the time. I don't want FOCKING AC ALL THE TIME!!!???
2) Misc. Rattles from the steering column and/or center guages and/or rearview mirror.
3) Oil Dipstick... Hideous piece of equipment. I can't say I've ever checked my oil and been SURE of the level. I'm just glad my car isn't leaking or burning oil, so I don't need to worry about it much...

The oil dip stick is quite possibly the worst design ever. You can't get it out....then once you do you can't read the thing because it bends 9 different ways. Then if you aren't frustarted enough at this point, it takes 10 minutes to get the SOB back in. I really hate it!

When I park in a public lot, I often see people surrounding the car and checking it out. I hate that.

I hate living in michigan and it being winter not being able to drive my car between November-April. It sucks paying those car bills and watching the thing sit in your garage.
