    The emergency braking saved me rear ending someone on a traffic lighted roundabout, they were clearly looking at the wrong lights and slammed on the brakes part way round it. The car reacted before I did.

    The lane assist was switched off as soon as I realised it had it, not at all suitable unless on a motorway. On ours it stays off, no need to keep doing it.

    Only thing I do every time I get in is turn off the stop start which is on a physical button. It’s a shame it’s not off by default but after 3 years it’s second nature. I read somewhere that it actually uses more fuel with it working.

    When we first got the car it bonged loudly none stop every time a door was opened. People would stop and stare. Thankfully a “convenience update” was release which the dealership installed free of charge which stopped that, now it only bongs when it thinks I’ve left the key in the car I.e. when I get out and back in again. It’s not very clever but I guess some people need it.
