Minor nitpicks that can either be overlooked or fixed. I love everything else about it.
You don't have a CD player? I do. Unless its a 2SS exclusive or something

I thought the visors were poor too, but if you use your hand or a piece of paper to block just another inch or two below the visor you'll see that it completely blocks your view altogether and you'd have to duck to see to drive. So I compared it to the visors in our other vehicles and noticed that the visor comes down into your view exactly the same as the Camaro. I think what happens after further attention paid to driving into the sun is that you don't need the visor as often in the Camo due to the lower profile roof line. Point being I find I need the visor way less in this car. So when the sun is lower it seems worse than your other vehicles because you need them more in other cars so the amount of times the visor's not effective seems more than normal. When the sun's in your eyes below the Camo visor it would be in your eyes in most other vehicles as well. At some point the sun is too low to block. I'm sure many will disagree, but check out what I'm saying if you can and you'll see what I mean. I will say that I wish they were a little wider, but lower would make them unusable. Now I'm barely 5'11 so I don't think driver height is the issue.

I have black on black and live on the Gulf coast where summers can be brutal and it seems that the low roof line shades the interior way more that most cars and an added sun shield in the windshield keeps the seats from getting excessively hot to the touch. Like many of you I'm careful where I park and I notice that it's hard to park in a way that allows sun to continually bake the seats (again, sun shields are a must).

The things that sucks for sure is the difficulty reaching out of the window at drive throughs (especially bank and drive up atm's.) And parking is harder when pulling in to the right. Pulling in left is much easier to judge.

Yall have pretty much covered my complaints. First time I drove it, i stopped and bought a drink, and was like "What idiot designed these cup holders?"

Main complaint right now is that I live down a dirt road, and it has rained for 2 days so I cant drive it without looking like I took it to a mud bog.

In general I'd say very little. Aside from typical gremlins I'd say that the general did his homework with mine.

The one thing I do not like are the summer tires, and how they lose their grip at cool temperatures.

I didn't think about the drive through that's a good point. It's especially bad if the window is a little high

The battery under the spare (2012) so I have to remove everything in the trunk to access it. I've disconnected it 6 times in my first 3 months of ownership for upgrades of adding heated seats, backup camera, Rotofab intake, etc. I know it has since been moved to one side of the trunk.

Small price to pay for the drop dead looks of the Camaro.

The visors truly suck! I don't care about the cup holders because no one is allowed to eat,drink,or smoke in my car. Yeah I do scuff the door sometimes but I just keep it to a minimum and clean it.

1. Pebbles/rocks getting into front mud guard in fender well. Also, adhesive wears quickly letting the pebbles/rocks feel at home.
2. Tiny visors.
3. No factory rock guards to protect rear quarter panels from debris.
4. Cup holders suck.
5. No CD player.
6. A/C & Heat does not come on during remote start. Only comes on after key has been inserted and turned onto ON.
7. Convertibles limited to 155mph.
8. NPP valve rattle (non-existent when GM techs are around looking at it!!!)
9. Mag ride likes to steer you into grooves and shallow dips in road.
10. Holy brake dust batman!!!
