The most annoying thing so far - at 11K miles - is the interface.

Specifically, two things..

It's dumb that the seat climate controls don't have LEDs on their own to show how hot / cold it is. Other models can do this. Other manufacturers can do this. WTF?

Now, this would not itself be a problem, really. Except it shares something in common with Major Complaint #2..

If I go into reverse, of course, the backup camera comes on. However, if I do anything else - turn on the seat A/C, set a destination, etc. - it flips to THAT display, leaving me blind while trying to reverse.

(and no, if I knew how to do this 'manually' anymore, I wouldn't need a backup camera!)

Seems like there should be a "display priority." If you're parking or backing up, you should not interfere with that, in my opinion.

What's more, if it's interrupted - such as to set a destination - it will NOT go back to parking / reversing view. I have to hit the "P" button to turn it off, then turn it back on again. Dumb. I doubt it's even worth complaining about - Germans never admit to making mistakes.

One of those pesky passengers is always fiddling with the seat climate at exactly the moment I need them not to do that. Highly irritating.

Oh.. And that rattling noise it makes from a cold start (though you can only hear it outside of the vehicle). I still can't figure out what that is, and I know I'm not alone.

I would complain about the disturbing sensation of a sudden loss of power when I try to accelerate from a stop into a turn, but that may just be me.
