Couldn't agree more, lol.

I don't particularly care about the cruise control, but I wish the console was higher. I, unfortunately, have the TT so my right arm needs somewhere to go whilst cruising since it's not operating the stick.

The lack of a cupholder is deplorable, lol. The first time I drove mine into work I stopped and picked up a coffee before realizing there was nowhere to put it... had to hold it in my lap the entire ride to work.

The seatbelt is going to get harder to reach the older/wider I get, it's already a workout, lol.

- The seatbelt is hard to reach but that's true on any convertible I've ever owned.

Other than that, I can't find any faults with the car. It is the best bang for the buck of any used sports car on the market, in my humblest of opinions.

I had a German friend who was baffled by Americans' obsession with cup holders. According to him, Germans don't drink anything while driving because they find it distracting. I guess that's why every German car has cup holders added as an afterthought rather than designed into them.

I bought one from a guy on eBay that fits into the ashtray receptacle. He makes them from a 3D printer. It works well and doesn't look bad.
