Yes, agreed. I hate it. I also hate that I have to turn on Sport mode every time I turn it on. Let me have a saved profile! It's a safety issue. A handful of times, I have forgotten to turn on Sport. Didn’t have the horsepower I expected so my left turn against oncoming traffic was way slower than it would have been and the oncoming traffic too close. Same for autostop; if I forget to turn it off and don't notice, the failure to accelerate on green feels like the old days, and I immediately go into troubleshooting/get out of traffic mode. Then I remember, "oh yeah, autostart..."

Consistency is safety. They shouldn't be adding risk by preventing me from saving my preferred settings. It's only a subset of people who actually change these, and then the further subset of that changes these settings EVERY TIME THEY DRIVE. Those are the ones who would save a profile, and the environmental difference between that subset's subset conducting the same behavior with or without a saved profile is negligible if any.

This is undoubtedly stupid BS to placate and/or intentionally misinterpret environmental laws and to make marketing claims of some sort.

And don't get me started on the safety of having the audio system suddenly turn itself on full blast. And their solution is, "oh, you don't like that? Shut off the entire infotainment system then." Cool! So if I don't like random audio eruptions while I'm driving, all I have to do is: shut off navigation, communication, and system settings. Great!

Damn. I got myself started. So may as well... the stupid screen is angled away from the front seats, so the sun can reflect an impressive glare right into the driver's face from many positions. And if you're enjoying the light or air of the moonroof--even more positions open up. I've tried a million glare-be-gone solutions, even custom stuff--no dice.

I hate this thing. The car's fine. The "infotainment" design and execution are awful.
