I was pissed when I picked mine up and it didn't have an 8-track. Seriously tho, even flash drives are past technology.

My only true pet peeve of the car is the traction control button location. I may not accidentally hit it every day, but it's pretty close.

I just don't like the position of cup holders, keep hitting whatevers in there with my elbow whenever I shift gears. That's about it.

Mine are:
- Cup holders side/side in stead of front/back which would give passenger elbow room on the center console
- No rain sense windshield wipers
- No front parking assist sensors

All minor things, but would be really nice to have since just about all other Chevy/GM cars have these features now a days.

Im still shocked that they Sat radios 'favorite' feature sucks so bad and is so limited.

But my biggest pet peeve is the fact that, if you leave the car with your key and its running, the car doesnt warn you that no key is present. If my wife and I drive somewhere (me driving) to drop me off, when I get out and she comes around to leave, if I forget to give her my key and she doesnt have hers, the car will let her drive off without one. Then she doesnt realize it until she turns if off. Her grand cherokee beeps like crazy the moment you get out of the vehicle with the key fob.

Must be a setting you need to change. Mine honks three times when I get out of the car with the fob in my pocket

Much appreciate the rational replies to my post...particularly Grandpawmoses and those who see the hookups on music being less than ideal.

Mariokart's comment on cupholders is right; not well positioned. They will get in way shifting and take up space My Girl would like to use as arm rest.

I know these are trivial but will get in way of enjoyment. From what I've now learned, I have some solutions for when the car gets here. Okay, on way to eBay for cup holders for back seat. (Got 'em"!)

Oh yeah, also learned NOT everyone on here is an 18 year old pimple faced back-end-of-a-Missouri-Mule!

From what I can see, I'll have two:

1. Lack of cup holders...only two, I think.
I had to be creative when bringing 2-64oz cups of hot chocolate to my kid's rugby team since 64oz cups do not fit in the cupholders at all. I always think of the movie Bad Boys when I think of the Camaro's cupholder situation.

When its running? Mine honks three times if I get out and leave the key in it after I shut it off.

Even if this is a setting, it should still indicate on the DIC that no key fob is detected when its running....

Yep. When I stop at the mailbox and get out I leave it running. It gives three quick honks when I have the key in my pocket.

I am thinking this new for 17. The attached shows how to enable in the 2017 owners manual but it is nowhere to be found in the 2016 manual. Interesting

Seems weird that it would be different for the 2016 model, but my 2017 also beeps three times when car is left running and I get out of the car with car running and fob is in my pocket.
