Default B5 Design Pet Peeves

Ok, I'll start.

1. I can't stand the way the sun visors don't reach the length of the side windows. The sun always seems to come in that gap in the morning.

2. Who designs a center armrest that can be completely disabled by a penny?

I share that same gripe of the sun visors. My car lacks the armrest, so I know not of this annoyance

Default Age has no excuse. Properly sized sun visors are nothing new

Or like one that have a sliding piece of plastic to cover that area when needed.

The entire front suspension is a horrible design.

Awsome 4 link design, just poorly executed.

Default Except I'm not a total d-bag. Plus, I refuse to pay more than $20/pair for sunglasses

And don't give me that optic crap Oakley or Ray Ban pushes.

I get mine from some where in China, just like everyone else, AND they are polarized.
