Cars.
1. I also hate the fact that we can't get CF parts for the exterior of the car from the factory.
2. Hate that the rear diff doesn't lock 100%(only 30%)
3. Hate that the Command screen isn't a wide screen.

I like:
1) The seats
2) The brakes
3) The engine torque
4) The appeal (6.3l badges, 4 exhaust tips,14"rotors with 6 pistons,front end)
5) The engine note
I don't like:
1) The miserable tire choice. Most powerful engine to skiniest tires ratio
2) Gas mileage
3) Maintenance costs
4) Mediocre stereo
5) missing rear LSD

1. You don't see them everywhere. There may be a lot in some states but they're not everywhere.
2. Cold Starts.
3. Engine
4.The lunacy
5. The P31 Package.
I don't like that the AMG's Harmon/Kardon Sound system only offers 450w of power. The M3's premium sound offer 850.

1) Exhaust. This one seems to be on top of everyone's list for good reason.
2) Same engine as the higher priced siblings and similar power with a tune.
3) Overall exterior styling. But we could use wider quarter panel flares.
4) Price (applies to those who purchased with the trunk money deal)
5) Not as prevalent as a M3.

I'm sure my neighbor around the corner with the GT3 RS hears me because I hear him when he cold-starts.

i just got back from a nice long joy ride and found five things that i dont like.
1. The blue tooth phone function hangs your phone up when you shut the car off. my infiniti does not do this. it just switches back to the phone.
2. The back up camera is off center. I back into almost every parking spot and its annoying to have to adjust to it being miss aligned with the parking lines.
3. The new rear view mirror doesnt have the compass in it anymore. i liked that.
4. I dont really like the brownish yellow color of the comand system. i wish it was a blue color.
5. Skinny tires. i started to lay into the throttle more now that it has 600 miles on it. those tires are struggling lol.
5.1 Gas mileage of course, but that comes with the territory. still bugs me though.

@CELLryuu,
I understand your frustration with your blue tooth. I don't even use mine. When I use it, the people that I am speaking to report to me that they hear a lot of static and they can't hear me very well. My cell phone provider blames the car and the dealership blames the cell phone provider.
Personally, I would never rely on the back up camera, as I think it can be dangerous. I have one, and I look at it a little bit, but nothing replaces our own eyes, IMO.
With the cool weather change, I have to say, that all of these little annoyances just melt away when I go out and do some driving. I had some fun last night driving the car. And this morning when I started the car up -- cold start -- the car just barked so loud because it was in an aggressive adaptation mode. I love that.

actually my bluetooth works very well. its clear on both ends for me.
as for the camera, im spoiled. the back up cam in the infiniti is infinitely better than the c series cam. that things was perfectly on the mark everytime.
but like everyone knows, once you put your foot into it.....all those quirks disappear!!!!

2012 C63 AMG, 2003 M3 convertible (sold)
1. Exhaust note! great tip on leaving the door open during cold starts in the garage 
2. Raw power.
3. HK audio. A 2011 E63 owner was jealous. I love how there is no distortion even with bass all the way up. Absolutely love the ipod interface.
4. Super secure front seats.
5. The interior of the 2012. Amazing improvement over 2011.

LOL...well....
i have posted in this thread and many others all of the things i love about the car though
one last bad thing though.....the coupe has a huge blind spot for cars at your rear quarter panels so you have to be careful when changing lanes.
other than that. the pros far out weigh the cons.

1) The engine...oooh that sweet, sweet engine
2) The exhaust note that brings faith to non believers and a frown on every M owner's face (get the joke you guys with an M3 in the garage as well )
3) The new interior. The two tone seats and leather dash give it a luxurious feel nearing that of an E-class.
4) Throttle response. Feels much faster with the MCT in S+
5) The looks of that beautiful white menace with the matte black rims when it is clean.
Things i like a little bit less
1) Choice of tires
2) Rattling sounds here and there while driving on cobble stones (which we have our fair amount of here in Helsinki, Finland)
3) Afraid someone is going to key it during the night
4) Gas mileage
5) Tire wear

Yeah, the rear tires are not big enough. And the car would even look better with wider rear fenders and beefier tires from the factory. It's also definitely a bummer that the car has to be ordered specifically with an LSD. I have one, though, so I enjoy it very much.
