The stock sound! Thats most likely the only part I hate - until I out on PSE that is :-D
Besides that, I really like it that they didnt put in cupholders and those things. Its a sportscar - not a 4x4

Fortunately for the rest of us, that is one that only you have experienced on a "recurring basis."

Next thing you'll want is a DVD player up front so you can watch a movie on a long trip. HOW could Porsche have forgotten THAT?!
LOL this is the exact reason we need cupholders!
I don't want to actually "hold" my Starbucks coffee when I'm driving home or to work- and so I need a cupholder. I would like to concentrate on driving, rather than spilling hot coffee on my ********* because I have to hold it between my legs- or on the carpet as I wedge it between the seat and door sill..
These are daily drivers, and just because I don't drive a mini-van doesn't mean I don't need something to hold my drink on the way to my destination. It's funny, but some people are actually "no-cup holder-elitests" who take pride in having impracticle elements built in to the car.
