Let’s just admit that the whole car is annoying…
The ticking, the gear grind, the fabric door handles, the fact that it requires a key, and the key is on the wrong side, the loud exhaust on startup, the not loud enough exhaust when I want it to be louder, the particulate filters, the Auto Start/Stop, the electric parking brake, the hill hold, the long gearing, the fear of speeding tickets, the light squirt nubbins, the Sirius wart, the allocation process, the cost of basic options like CarPlay, the cost to begin with, the additional ADM on top of that, the excruciating wait if you order one, the people staring at me, the comments they make at gas stations, the young punk’s that want to race me. the list goes on…

Just think how much more they would sell for if they weren't so annoying!

Yup. The major reason I did not get buckets, along with a seating position that is too upright for me. And I have started using my seat heaters already. When the air temps get into the 60's, I either need seat heaters or more clothing. Since part of the fun of a drop-top is the whole "freedom" experience, and the feel of the open air, I don't want to get bundled up in clothing. I put the heat on to 82 directed at my feet, and seat heater on. Temps into the low 50s, the heated steering wheel goes on. If I am going to have to drive with a winter jacket and hat, might as well have gotten a hardtop.

I think the buckets look really cool and fit the style of the GT car. With that said, I spec’d 2 way and my freeze date was the 16th so that’s what I’m locked in with. Just felt like it was the most comfortable choice for me long term.
