I like this feature too, but sometimes when I press the button on the console, it closes again when I get out of the car and shut the door. Not a big deal. I haven't experienced the same problem rayxi did - perhaps you need a slight adjustment to prevent that. Trying to keep rattles to a minimum, I usually put the trunk lid down VERY softly, and then just gently press on the rear wiper mounting point to activate the soft-close mechanism. That way I'm never slamming the trunk lid - very nice indeed.
