I think the idea was to have it be a SLIGHT deterrent, especially for those with Cabs who might want to leave the top down while they run into a store for a minute. Hell, MOST glove compartment locks are pretty useless, if you have a long screwdriver, some determination, and no one's watching you.

"The coin-holder is useless too ..." the material makes the coins rattle!!!! why would you have a purpose built rattle box in a small car???? "unless you think holding 4 quarters is useful" not now days.. I agree!
Actually, there IS one instance when it's useful: when you have to park at a meter and you weren't planning for it. Inevitably, when it happens to me, I have no change on me.

"The seats are nice and comfortable .... It would be nice if they could recline back further though ..." you can! just operate the lever, keeping it in the "UP" position, while seated and push with your back to force the seat to recline further. This will bend back the limiter tab that comes with the seat to stop it from crushing the optional trunk cover..... both seats can go back quite a bit!!! once done. And NO it does not ruin any normal operation of the seat nor does it stay reclined forever.. it merely increases the range of possible recline.
I have seen this advice numerous times. I always reply the same thing: if they wanted the seats to recline further, they would've made them recline further, no? Breaking the limiter tab doesn't sound like a smart (pardon the pun) way to "fix" the situation.
