oo cup holder thing sounds bad. i never really use the cup holder anyway. most of the time dont allow drinks in the car hahaha. too many accidents with people knocking sticky soda and other crap all over the car.

Ive never heard of the wet trunk. The outside window trim sucks. One that I have to add is the bad upper ball joints
