Update On Smallish Bugs on GTS--(ECO, Seats, Console Storage Lids)Cover)
New owner here who posted a question about the stop/start function and gear display last month.
The stop/start was never engaging. Turns out the dealer assumed it was a low aux battery since
it was driven so little. I now believe it was related to the A/C level--once I turned the internal temp
up near the ambient temp, it started to work. (now I can turn it off in peace).
While still in warranty, I am getting the rest of the small bugs looked at, including a sticky ashtray cover,
clicking seats, and center console opening function.
Dealer ordered a new ashtray/cup holder cover with correct carbon fiber finish and is on the way--apparently this is a common
problem on these but fixable under warranty.
The seats have a slight click side-to-side when turning, as if loose. I think this is also a common issue and I plan
to see if the dealer has a way to easily eliminate that.
Finally, another minor issue--I notice the center storage console lid does not just pop up once the opening latch is pressed--you need
to give it a pull upwards before it moves. Before I ask the dealer about it, can anybody confirm that their
lid does or does not spring up by itself without help?
I know this is a picky issue, but I want every nit-picking problem addressed while I have a warranty. Good news is the important
features of the car are awesome.

My dealer removed the seats for the clicking and I recall replaced some bushing then re tightened every ring and clicking is gone.
I also had it in for a rattle on the exhaust when decelerating in sports mode. They said the lubed it and was fixed but issue is still there. Anyone else have that issue ?
