However one thing is just horrid about this car and really bothers me...

Which German Engineer came up with the idea for these STUPID turn signals.

Press down once to initiate signal, and than touch ever so softly again to cancel.... Yea try that when weaving in and out of lanes etc.

Am I the only one who finds these turn signals infuriating???
They can take adjustment if you've never had them before. BMW was the first to use the self cancelling the signal stalk design over a decade ago and now it's harder to find cars that don't behave the same.

If you're "weaving in and out of lanes"...

A - Stop driving aggressively

B - A soft touch (before the detent) will automatically operate the signal 3 times and relieve you from needing to actively cancel the indication.
