Default Irritated?

What, if anything, irritates you the most about your Scion or your Scion experience?

Default aftermarket parts

I hate how aftermarket parts can void your warranty. It hella sucks. I want to lower my xB 2 inchs but for warranty i want only lower it 1.19 inchs...hella ___...oh well man...i still have a lot of ____ on it though.

Nothing more irritating than having to put your stereo at vol.30 just to drown out the rattles.

The cruise control stalk bugs the crap out of me. I'm always hitting my knee on it.

I used to have that problem. I'm sure it's different on each car, but I just bent mine up a bit (the stalk is on an angle). You can't see it as well through the steering wheel, but it doesn't hit my knee anymore.

THat's WHY they provide a warranty. They don't expect that every car they mass produce will be perfect....

Damn people keep asking me about it...

On the serious side; the dash can be kept clean with meguiars cleaner (comes in a bright red spray bottle).

The thng that probably irritates me the most about my scion is the way the spare tire is just crammed in the trunk. It takes up way too much of the xB's scant trunk space and looks all-around ugly. That's the only major design flaw as far as I'm concerned.

Default I'd buy one again tomorrow

1. The dome light location
2. Rear wiper not intermittent
3. The silver dash bezels “ghosting” on the windshield

I agree. Without that junk in there, there's a nice trunk space. Of course, if they put it under the car, it would never come out unless they hinged the lip. Run-Flats maybe?

Bad lighting. ONE dome light? My nBeetle has much better lighting...

At least they could have lit the glove box...

as for the rice paper dash.......I've found that a single swipe with a microfiber towel takes off every little piece of dust and dirt......

Paint Chipping, dash texture collects dirt (though as STG said
a good microfiber takes care of that), not enough torque,
extra cheap cloth material, and major lack of interior lighting.
