The radio is OK now. My beef with the dash is it's simply too busy. My C900's and OG9-3's are much simpler. There are too many buttons, period. Part of safety is not having to take eyes off the road to change something. This new 9-3 is just too much. I'm not a big fan of ACC, but at least if there were "wheels/knobs" instead of a sea of buttons that would help. Just twist the temp knob to the temp and let the ACC do the rest. As it is, you have to look down to futz with it.
The other thing that bugs me is the "lag time" with buttons. I press "SRC" on the wheel I want to flip between radio/cd/aux NOW.
And they moved the window switches. Arghhh.
Once I'm on the road with XM jamming and the temp adjusted, I can focus on driving.
Oh, and the base 2.0T seats aren't as good as the C900 seats or OG9-3 seats. Perhaps the Aero seats are better...
Don't get me wrong. The car totally rocks. These are minor in the big scheme. It still beats most other cars I've driven, including a long list of rentals.
