What little nit-picky thing would you change about the Evo?

I would love to be able to have the trunk open from the outside with a button press on the remote. I can't tell you how many times I've walked up to my car with had my hands full with stuff and had to put it all down to find my keys and open the trunk with the key.

i agree about the cup holders !! no drinks in my car due to that. but i would change the common minor problem some people complain about and that is to make the speedo gauges a much brighter red, lots of red LEDs would be a big plus.

Best of all you would never even know it is there.
I just wish they'd put grocery net anchors in it.
i haven't found one thing that drives me up the wall yet...i just hear the paint is bad, and im really **** about keeping the car clean, those rock and bug chips are gonna be a ***** in the future....i planned on doing the clear bra but the soonest apt i could get was 6 weeks after buying my car which is useless.... i already have a few chips and theyll stand out more with the clear bra
Big 3 already mentioned.
1. crusie control
2. Better spray windsheild spray....mine leaks all over my white hood,,, been fixxed 2 times.
My hood always has blue dots and puddles on it.
*** Is there a CLEAR wiper fluid out there????
3. remote trunk relase.....
AND.......
4. Better aimed headlights,,,,,,,, these needed to have been set higher from the get go.

Hmmm....
-I wouldn't mind less rattles - I only have 6,000 miles on my baby, but she already has misc. rattles that I can't track down yet
-The window goes auto-down... but not auto-up??!! Why?
-As other people mentioned... a bigger gas tank might be nice - seems like I'm at the gas station every other day
-Cup holders are in a bit of an annoying spot (but I'm not sure where else they would put them)
The last one isn't so much a problem with my EVO as it is with New Jersey roads and myself(and was only a problem when I first got the car). When I was accelerating from a stop in 1st gear and hit some of those New Jersey potholes... my foot would slip on the clutch and the car would buck, then you try to compensate and hit another pothole and buck again... and my wife is looking at me like "learn how to drive you idiot". I don't have a problem anymore... but 1st and 2nd still kinda suck on really rough roads.
Besides that... I love my car. It puts a smile on my face every day I sit in it.
