A tap on the accelerator works as well but tapping the button is nice and convenient.
That's correct, the manual states both options however what i discovered (and i think it's mentioned in the manual too) is that tapping the button leads to a more shocky launch, as opposed to hitting the gas. But of course, a lot more comfortable to do it lol

Fridge?! i will look
Ha, you'll be disappointed. It's a slider that lets the AC air in.

Unless of course you pay extra for the Kitchen Pack - fridge in the glove box, dishwasher in the boot.
ah my gloves need to have a low ambient temperature!

one thing I found was that in very slow sub 10mph traffic, with adaptive cruise on and also pilot assist, you don't need to touch the wheel every 20 seconds.. it just is happy to pootle on by itself

oh and pushing the sun roof button up opens it upwards, and back is properly open. It's probably in the manual but I haven't read it.

My car accelerates very smoothly from a stop when tapping the button - I find it much smoother than using the accelerator.

Anyone know why the model MY20 now only has one front USB, or is this because I have the mobile charger factory fitted.

One USB is standard.
Two USB sockets if Android Auto/Apple Carplay has been fitted.

The little elasticated net behind the pull out bin is the perfect place for a hipflask.

I was disappointed to find that I did not have a warning triangle in my cubby hole. It must be supplied depending on specific laws for each country.(USA)
