I still haven't figured out how the random function is supposed to work on the cd player. I've tried everything, yes, I did read the manual.

I hate how the jack is expanded in order to mount in the storage compartment. First time I removed the jack it flung inside the compartment and dinged my rear quarter panel, which brings me to my next point - no padding in the storage compartment. Who mounts a jack so close to sheet metal as thin as a pop can without any padding? Also, jack removal instructions labelled on the inside of the removalable cover would have been a good idea.

My gripes are mostly related to missing items from the packages/models than vehicle issues.
It's been said, but the location of the heated seats switch is terrible. The heaters work great, but to turn them on/off is difficult and awkward.
Not having auto on/off headlights or Foglights with luxury pkg.
Not having an Auto Dim mirror, mud guards, cargo cover, or roof rack cross bars standard on the XLS.
No heated mirrors on US models.
Of course most of these can be solved by buying additional parts/accessories, but the question was asked.

What I HATE!
Well, not much.
1- Doors dont lock itself while driving. (But I like how when I do lock it, and when put the car into P, it will unlock itself)
2- Mud guards dont come in standard
3- No HID lights for the Canadian Outie. (So sad, I see ugly cars install HID lights, and my Hot Outie dont have them) =(
4- I dont get the fact that when in Navi mode, I want to use my hands to move the map, the joy-stick is sometimes hard to locate places I wanted to go!
Thats about it! I love my Outie!

Cuff-
My 2008 Outie came with heated side mirrors - do you have a 4WD or 2WD? - all the 4WD models have it standard when you turn on the rear window defroster...
I AM bummed that the 2008 XLS models no longer have the aluminum side bars in the rear - I actually was going to use those to tie down boxes when I travel with my artwork - c'est la vie.
Fog lights would be nice, but I had to drive home, the other night, through NASTY fog - the HID's worked like a charm, so now I'm not so upset...
I can't think of any other peeves......perhaps in a few months

sirnewt,
Mines an '07 model XLS so it's not supposed to have heated mirrors. I do have the '08 wheels though, so i'm hoping that mine was so close to the '08 builds that they put them in anyway. There hasn't been any snow or ice lately so i can't confirm whether i have heaters or not. I guess i could stand outside and put my hand on the mirrors a while, but it's only 2 degrees today with the wind chill so that ain't happening.
It's funny that you mention the side bars, because there were a few standard items that the 2007's had that the 2008's didn't and vice versa (like the rails in the cargo area vs. the heated mirrors, or smoother interior plastics vs. the more stippled/grainy ones). But the money difference was too great to sway me to an '08. Plus like i said mine had the 7-spoke rims which i liked better anyways.

Cuffy-
So, I was thinking about the new 18" wheels and that made me think about how tough the new 7-spoke models are a friggin nightmare to clean (my hands are large) and I was kinda wishing for something like the older models to ease up on my hands. Anyway, that led to me thinking about the strange paint effect on all the Outlander bumpers - come on everyone... you know what I'm talking about. Why are these bumpers a shade, or two, darker - I truly HATE that. When you look at them, I think they tried to put some type of clear coat over them to protect the plastic, but it makes the color look slightly different - WEIRD.
So, to sum up (sorry I've been teaching all day and am completely brain-dead):
1. No, aluminum rails in the 2008 XLS
2. Strange paint effect on the front and rear bumpers
3. um...can't think...oh - crappy plastic for the side cup holder - mine's already broken..
that's it - other than that:
THIS CAR ROCKS
