Secondary Controls

On one hand, the window switches, mirror remote and steering wheel controls all have a satisfying feel to them. On the other, things like the window locks and switches, numerous other dash buttons, the brake release and hood release need improvement. The parking brake release in particular was annoying. It’s placed immediately above the pedal itself, meaning that it’s all too easy to accidentally kick the release handle when you simply mean to set the brake. It makes us wonder how long that handle will last.
