My 04 doesnt have them and i think it may have been swapped out at one time. Its the only car ive noticed not to have the buttons present.

Is it suppose to have them?

Just remember that when you push the button to shift up you will enough time to take a #2 in an Andy Gump and then wipe and then take a shower before the shift takes place.

you may want to go straight to paddle shifters ... post a picture of your wheel; there is probably room to add them.
