Love everything about my new car, save for a few nitpicks
So many great features that I love. Here are a few things I'd change, though: 1) That stupid confirm language screen at startup is unnecessary and patronising. Get rid of it. 2) Would love to have the doors automatically lock when I walk away from the vehicle when i have the fob on me (which is always). It's annoying having to dig out the key fob to lock the door. 3) The touchless trunk open is temperamental. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. Needs to be more consistent. 4) BlueLink needs to give us more options for setting remote climate start. Here in Texas, using the recirculated air tends to fog the windows, and then I have to run the defroster, which is a waste of time and energy. Let us opt into the fresh air option instead. Also: Let us set temps. You preset option makes the cabin too dang cold! 5) I know you have to pay lip service to CAFE standards, but I'd rather set my car to SMART mode and forget about it. It's annoying having to set it every single time I get in the car. 6) The center console is kinda....stingy. A bit more space would be welcome in future models. I use rather small handbags (usually the size of an A5 notebook about 50mm thick), but only the very smallest ones would fit in the the center console, where I've kept my handbag with other cars. Putting it in the door is kinda not great, because if it slips from my hands, it lands on the ground instead of in the car. 7) The trunk apparently doesn't seal tightly. Along the bottom rim, if we have rain, any dirt that comes up from the road settles at the bottom of where the trunk lid's bottom fits. V. annoying that we have to clean that ourselves. 8) The cargo containers don't play with the rug covering the wheel wheel. The rug needs to be cut to work around it, somehow, or the cups need to have velcro on the bottom to fit on top of the carpet. 9) Not providing a spare tire is kinda chintzy. A tire repair kit is NOT an adequate substitute.
Other than those small things, I love the car to pieces.
