Likes : What is there not to like..

Dislikes:
Squeaks from the glass roof on the 09 targa 4S
Radio and no easy scan function
exhaust not loud... (should have ordered the sport exhaust)
Another (softer) suspension setting for NYC
What to do with the Chrono on the dashboard? Maybe a clock?

Biggest Pro:
No other car I have driven provides such enjoyment, even if I'm driving 30MPH to buy tampons for a woman.

Biggest Con (and pro):
High price of entry and countless options are dizzying and wallet emptying

when you decide to put turbo on it you can put boost gauge instead of that silly clock in the chrono bump.

ok i feel better now, that someone else shares my pain...., i hear you, i can go to the supermarket, and pick up 5 items, but the experience of just back the car out the driveway is exhilarating

Still not the easiest thing to see in the middle of the day especially if you're not standing directly in front of the car.

If the manufacturer gives you that option, it should be a user option, as it is very obnoxious and calls unwanted attention to the car.
