I have not long taken delivery of a new car. I am really quite happy with many of the features:
Electric wing-mirrors are always good for scoping the area.

Fast clear windscreen. :rascal:
Dash-lights dimmer control.

But, why-oh-who-oh-why have they decided to take away the ability to stop your interior light coming on? Take the keys out - light comes on. Open a door - light comes on. Unlock doors - light comes on. I have a button to switch it on at any additional time, but nothing to stop it coming on when I don't want it to.

Having said that, just before I got this car, I had a courtesy car for a couple of weeks. It was one of those bloody stupid shaped "I see you baby - shaking that ass" cars. I think the designers were anti-dogging and chose that song as a flippin' joke. "I see you baby" is an understatement - the fecking thing had a mind of its own when it comes to light control.
Now let's say you have pulled up a fairly quiet location and want to just sit there inconspicuously and watch what is going on without drawing attention to yourself - not a bloody chance! The car just wouldn't play ball:
Pull up and turn off the headlights - nope the car says "I know your still in the car because the engine is running and I know it is dark... so the lights are going to stay on!"
:?
Ah-ha! I'll turn the engine off (by pushing a buttom I might add - no such thing as car keys for this car) - nope - car says "I know your still here and a still know it is dark. The headlights stay on! And just in case you forget where everything is, I'll illuminate the dashboard for you with 500watts of light."
:shock:
OK. I'll take out the card and bingo!!!! the headlights go out. - car says "Oh, you want to get out? let me turn the interior light on for you."
Nooooooooo! Push button, push button. - car chuckles "You need the light on to see what you are doing and by the way, that button doesn't turn the interior light off"
:shock:
It will go out in a minute (I think?) - nope, car says "I know you are still in here"
:?
I got it! I'll open and close the door to trick it! - nope, car says "I am not turning the light out until you lock the door, you might want to get back in (I know there is someone in the car really)"

Feck it! I'll lock the door. - nope car says "If your out of the car, who is still in it? I better start the alarm, Help! Beep! Help! Beep! Help!"
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Shut up you bastard! - "Oh you've unlocked the door. You must want to get back in. I better put the interior light on for you"

You are not getting the feckin' better of me you pile of crap! I am gonna put the card back in and trick you to turn the god-damned interior light off! - wrong! "OK, I will turn the interior light off, but I know it is dark and I am going to turn the headlights on for you before you start the engine. It's for your own safety in case you forget"
