    Bad; Due to the body's overly hexagonal shape angling outwards & down, if it stops raining & you want to open the front windows, you'll get drops of water fall from the roof/top window sill inside the car onto the armrest. Luckily they miss any electric mirror switches.

    The rear windows tend not to leak this way I've found.

    You've beat me to it. I do wish there is an option to have the ambient lights like the door lights, ie turns on when you open the door and fade off when you start the engine.

    hahaha, more of a "manly" look, I remember taking off in my car after the rain with the windows down. The water drips in from the roof, hits the windows controls a few times. But either switches are water sealed or I dry it before it got any deeper.

    I like the auto-down feature on the passenger's side mirror when you're in reverse. Don't forget to turn it on under Car and also have your wing mirror adjuster set to L (I think!).

    Spot on, took me a while at first because I didn't move the mirror nob to the L position. There is a complicated setup procedures in the manual to make the mirror dip down to the level you want.

    ----
    Storing front passenger exterior mirror settings for reversing
    Select a valid vehicle key on which the settings should be saved.
    Unlock the vehicle using this key.
    Switch on the electronic parking brake.
    Switch on the ignition.
    Put the gearbox into neutral.
    For reverse gear exterior mirror lowering function press the CAR button and the SETUP and Mirrors and wipers function buttons in the infotainment system → Menu and system settings (SETUP)   .
    Select reverse gear.
    Adjust the exterior mirror on the front passenger side so that you have a good view of the kerb area.
    The settings for the mirror position will be saved automatically and assigned to the vehicle key that is used to unlock the vehicle.
    Selecting the settings for the front passenger exterior mirror
    Turn the rotary knob for the exterior mirrors to position L.
    With the ignition switched on, select reverse gear.
    The front passenger exterior mirror will move out of the position saved for reversing when the vehicle is driven forwards faster than approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or when the rotary knob is moved out of position R into another position.

    Discovered this weird one tonight - when driving in Eco mode, the cornering lights don't illuminate. They'll only work in Normal, Comfort, Sport or Custom driving modes. Strange. Wouldn't have thought a cornering light would use that much power they'd feel the need to disable them in Eco. Wonder if it can be changed with VCDS?

    It looks far more complicated than it actually is.

    1. Put car in reverse.
    2. Adjust LH side mirror to where you'd like it
    3. Leave the rotary adjustment know on L.

    That's it.
