I find the standard radio is fine. Not great but good for my listening habits. I listen to DAB exclusively, mainly to Radio 5 Live and theJazz, so cranking up the volume in Harpo's car just ain't gonna happen.

I'm happy with the manual A/C, a downgrade from the previous auto unit (which was positively dangerous to operate), but I have to agree that the fan and temperature dials are a triumph of form over function. I'm so glad I don't have the auto system which is both fiddly and ugly.

The sports seats I'm really pleased with - perhaps they were designed with my shape in mind - so much better (both for me and Mrs H) than the previous standards. I'm looking forward to a few long trips in them.

Also I like the door arm rests, they are just in the right place for my elbow and forearm. Amazing how a slight tweak can render something that is useless (old arm rests) into something of real worth.
