Guaranteed that you'll hit that center badge with your palm when attempting to hit the horn. A button on the dash will take a lot of getting used to and most would agree is close to worthless in a panic situation.

That said, I upgraded my horns. The horns that come with the ERA are from a VW, I believe. Regardless, the first time I hooked up the battery and tested the horn, my wife opened the door to the garage and said "THAT'S the horn?". Replaced them with a pair of highway blasters. You can't go rumbling up in a Cobra and go "toot, toot".
