Please list your pro's and cons

Not sure if there has been other threads on this. I have a new R58 and although I love the looks inside and out there are a few things I would change, PROE'S ...I love the aggressive look especially the back end, build your own interior that's a great idea, plenty of power (for my needs) gear box and clutch awesome, I love the pop pop on the exhaust I chose black with red roof awesome. seats not to shabby very comfortable and a roomy cockpit for a two seater .CON'S sports button could be situated better maybe built into the gear **** that would have been cool, auto down on windows only why not make it full auto ( I know on some models it is ) move the cup holder's maybe of to the side my cup covers the switches ( yeah I know use a smaller cup ) I'm not a big fan of the fuel gauge hard to see when the sun shines on it imo analogue would have been better. Oh yeah I changed out the run flats. The pro's far out weigh the cons but its the little things that can make a big difference...

I know we all have our own ideas on what might have been done differently or better and it would be interesting to see what you guys would change. Please don't burn me down I'd still go out and buy this car.

Thanx

Pros:
-Sport setting
-Ability to personalize settings thru the OBC
-Adaptive xenons
-Fun factor

Con:
-Comfort access button on door handle, should be like BMW's design
-No boot release button in the interior
-Runflats are a love/hate relationship
-USB/Aux could be placed in a more unawkward area I feel they make the cubby a useless storage place.
