    Only minor but found a couple of things that I'm not keen on

    1. At night when you turn the fans off all the lights go out as well so you can't see the button to switch back on

    2. The white glow on the dash looks a bit naff around where the dials are pointing

    Two very minor things, other than that very good so far

        I actually thought that the dash was knackered when I spotted it, probably prefer nothing at all and just an illuminated needle

            I disagree... The dash looks fantastic and after you've had the car for a couple weeks there's no way you'll ever forget where the buttons are.

            Speaking of design flaws though... The complete lack of cup holders and the really shit horn....

              It's not so much not knowing where they are, it's more that it's not easy to find it when it's dark inside the car.
              Completely a design flaw, don't think I've seen another car where that happens

                There's only 3 buttons on that part of the dash mate. If you can't learn what they do... Then... Well, its not hard is it? lol

                  This shouldn't happen . . . . Doesn't on mine

                  Unless the headlights are off :-|

                  Can't remember what goes off if you have the display on dark mode - rev and petrol displays and radio are blanked out, but not sure about the other lit areas.

                    I think the OP has the Climate control.

                    In that case when you switch the fans off the lights for the buttons that control the fan speed and temperature also go off. The centre dial which shows the temp and fan position still stays lit.

                    On our car it has never been a problem.

                      Can't understand why anyone would want to switch the fan off. CC adjusts the fan speed automatically to maintain the selected temperature, and you can turn off the a/c without interfering with the fan settings. Or am I missing something?

                        Nah, you've not missed anything. It is, literally, as simple as that lol. Wouldn't exacty call it a design flaw...

                          Now that I've had it for a couple of weeks I've learnt that there is no need to switch the fan off, just switch off the a/c if needed although I leave it on all the time now. Still think its crap though that they do switch off but loving the car, just a case of getting used to it
