OK, I'll bite --
1. No synchro on reverse
--> are there on other cars? I've had manuals in BMW's, Subaru's, and Honda's, and can't say I feel any difference between Saab and these.
2. Memory seat button has to be held down all through time it takes to adjust, doesnt work off remote.
--> safety factor. My wife used to have a Lexus RX300, and it required your car to be at a complete stop for the button to work, and you just had to press the button once. However, I accidentally pressed her setting instead of mine while at a stop sign -- she's 5'0", I'm 5'10", so it was very painful!
3. Lack of lateral support to seats
--> agreed.
4. Gas door should lock/unlock with drivers door.
--> don't mind this, but it would be nice.
5. Spindly light plastic indicator stalks with unpleasant action
--> actually like them. :\
6. Headlight stalk dip to full brights control is pull back for on, pull back for off, not a separate position for brights and dip - plus the pull back is too long a distance.
--> agreed.
7. No full size spare
--> Never having changed a flat tire, can't really comment on this.
8. Can passenger door mirror drop automatically on selecting reverse gear
--> Agreed -- I like the BMW method here.
9. Vanity mirror lights are too dim
--> have not noticed.
10. Floor mats come free from locators too easily
--> have not had this problem.
