lomoto Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I have had my Z a few months now,and the most annoying thing about it is the lack of a glove box , closely followed by having the power outlet between the seats (not in the dash ) Come on guys what do you find the most annoying feature on yours ??

Chesterfield Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Lack of glovebox, and a key that looks cheap and nasty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 There is a power outlet on the dash. Just below the passenger centre air vent. At least there is on UK models anyway. Glove box is behind the passenger seat to. Key could be better and I wish you could close the windows with it. Most annoying thing is the headlamp washers. Just washed car and they go and spray washer fluid all over ya bonnet. Need more control over them and no its crap having to pull over and turn lights off to get round this.

Sylvester Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Creaks and rattles from dashboard and fact you can't disable the passenger airbag and hence can't carry babies in car seats...... Hang on a sec... let me rethink that last one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 In N/A mode, the fact that you can't (couldn't) get much performance increase from mods and the passenger chair lever for me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traktion Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Creaks and squeeks (passenger side of dash and strut brace is at it now!) CD skips before car warms up on cold days The glove box doesn't bother me... I don't usually ferret around in it when I'm supposed to be driving! TBH, mine is currently empty as I use the other cubbies for my cd cases (they don't slide about much and I like to keep them near the CDs). Anything else I stick in the seat nets or don't leave in the car. Light squirter doesn't bother me either; I'm not one to spend hours polishing my car anyway! It's more fun driving it! They are only small things though and after about 7 months ownership, I can say I'm very happy with this car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Eh? Whats this about? what, the driver seat squeak? it's a known issue, very annoying but there's a TSB out for it so EVERY dealer SHOULD be able to sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ah a squeek, now I understand. Sorry not heard this before, not been around here long enough!! And mine isn't doing it so now it all makes sense, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT2Z Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Mine doesn't sqeek. It is literally a pain in the ar$e. The drivers seat bolster on the base, has the metal sub-frame making its way through the sponge and almost through the leather. It digs into my leg / hip area and is causing me pain. You can easily feel the hard edge of the metal once your sat on it. First dealer said, "can't find a fault, nothing appears wrong, so we've put more sponge over the frame" If there was nothing wrong why did you do somehting to it ? Second dealer has allegedly replaced the frame portion of the base, leather now looks loose and I can still feel the frame. Its getting to the point where I'm considering replaceing the seat(s) with aftermarket ones. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 wow ok, thought it was the squeak! never heard of that one, but still mate, it shouldn't happen, even if you weigh 2 tonnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My office chair has just been re done as the metal frame has cut through the foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
