    Just a few things I don’t like on mine. Minor things really.

    • the headlights are quite difficult to master, you have auto, half beam, day running side lights and a weird helper option (which puts a single Front fog light on when turning corners) can be turned off but as I mention, odd.
    • the heater, at its lowest is still VERY loud.  When the temp gets warmer, the heaters get even louder.
    • its not possible to lock the lighting options, or the driving preference(Eco, off road, dynamic etc)to your “profile”, ie like your seating position.
    • the beeps that associate with driving speeds, and speed cameras have to be disabled every time you start the car or you get a beep if you go 1 mile over the speed limit, and an addition beep for when you are approaching a new speed limit. Very annoying,
    • the incar WiFi is difficult to understand, you have a WiFi hotspot option, or “onboard WiFi” presumably for the media(Spotify internet apps, etc) controls — these appear to be two different things,(require a SIM card and data I naively presumed this came with the car) and I’ve not worked them out yet, I’ve used my own iPhone as a hotspot to connect the apps to it to update but that feels very weird. And the onboard WiFi is very weak and doesn’t reach my house, my phone does from inside the car on my drive way, less than 6ft away.
    • if you are used to CarPlay— pay the extra for it, the difference between using it as I did for 4 years is painful, I’ll probably pay for a retrofit it because the onboard one is awful in comparison.
