What do you hate?

[bangers]

OK. If you're like me you absolutely LOVE your VL. But i'd like to know what things, big or little, that you hate about VLs. Preferably by people who own or have owned one. I'd write something but i can't think of anything right now.

The weird controls on the dash for the windsceen wipers etc. And the grid background on the guages. That's about all really... Oh and the headlights on the indicator arm. I've lost count of how many times I've indicated and accidently turned the headlights off!!

The plastic door moulds cracking. Might remove them soon. And i hate that they are so good and popular that people want to steal them.

I hate:
*drivers window open, seatbelt flapping against B pillar in the wind.
*cheap plastics used have not aged well.
*whole back of my car rattles from my sub (despite my best efforts).
*head units don't fit properly (you know what I'm talkin about LOL)
* The mess of wires around the selector under the center console (looks rushed).
*occasional chassis twist under extreme cornering (sideways)
*exec and SL non turbo get rear drums (how am i meant to stop? LOL).
*very light in the rear end (corners best with people in the back).

There are more LOL But I still love my VL's baby yeahhhhh

I have that rattle too. Pisses me off. Stupid cigarette ash trays that fly off the arm rest when you close the rear door.
