Automatically turning back on the sound system is worse when you are listening to a podcast. I almost always have something in the backseat, and I pause the podcast, but it turns back on when I open the back door. I end up having to dig out my phone and go back a minute or so next time I listen.
I also wish all the door handles wouldn’t pop when I just need something from the backseat or trunk. It makes me wonder how many uses the motors have.
I’d prefer to open up all doors when driver gets to their door, and turn on the sound system when the driver is seated.
Last thought, I could be doing something wrong, but my windows seriously fog up in winter. I then have to turn on the defrost which blasts the whole car with heat. My battery usage on these super cold days is stunningly high. I have never had to do anything for my windows on other recent cars, which makes me wonder if I’m not selecting something correctly. I have cleaned the windows but I haven’t seen a lessening of the fog. This is the scariest element to the car for me in that all the sudden I’ll realize I can’t see through the windows that well, and the other day when it happened I didn’t have a lot of juice left.
I still love my car, even with its faults.
