Has anyone else noticed that the knob used for scrolling in the menu operates in opposite directions when scrolling through the built-in menu items, versus the navigation system? How annoying.

I also don't like the direction they chose for the tip shifting. It feels backwards to me. Since that's fully electronic, I'd think it could be changed somehow.

There is a lot of things that are really poorly done ergonomics/usability wise on a 40K+ german car.

The climate control is terrible. No knobs. You pretty much have to look at when you adjust which takes your eyes off the road. Setting the power seats is not at all intuitive (I actually had to look in the manual). The procedure is overly complex and the stop button is ass backwards.

I like the car but there it is all the little stupid stuff that I find annoying. You have to wonder who designs this stuff and what they are thinking.
