I actually miss the old method of working the speed control where controls were on a stalk and using one's index finger one could adjust or turn on the thing without even looking.
On my GTP, the wheel controls are way too small and difficult to get to work and I find it dangerous because it requires me to take my eyes off the road to get it to function in any way.
Also the cup holders in their position are a joke necessitating reaching back for the container and watching one's shifting too.
The lever controling the seatback came off in my hands the day I bought the car!
I love my GTP but that makes the niggling flaws that much more annoying. Why didn't someone at GM pick up on these things in the design phase?

Annoyances

I've mentioned it in a previous posting (when a Mitsubishi was compared to a GTP), but a message on this thread reminded me. Why is it that 'sporty' cars like the G6 coupes made in America lack winter practicality; the coupes should have a rear wiper (good for rain too) so that one has at least a fighting chance at rearward visibility? All G6's should have heated mirrors too for the exact same reason: a chance at rear visibility during inclement weather. You know weather other than in California and Florida!!

This doesn't just apply to G6's but why, since most of the buyers of cars don't live in a sunbelt and enjoy winter, doesn't a car like the G6 come with at least the option of a winter package: heated outside mirrors and a wiper/washer for the rear window.
Rearward visibility on a clear day is limited on a G6 coupe and come the first hint of inclement weather the back window and outside mirrors cover up creating unsafe driving conditions.
