Picked up a Twilight Blue Premium with Nav, Moonroof, and Eyesight today. Drove it home then took the family out for a show and back. Probably less than 15 miles today.
First impression, lots of unknown beeps. I suspect they're related to the adaptive cruise. I heard numerous beeps and finally noticed that the symbol for Cruise was changing each time from white to green and back again.
Second, I'm highly concerned about the navigation. It directed me in a direction on my local interstate that I was sure was . . . wrong. I message came up suggesting that the navigation was 'detouring' me onto a different route. We decided not to take the detour and we found no reason to detour at all. No traffic, construction, or accidents. Then when we did arrive at our destination, the the turn by turn didn't stop. When we were leaving, hours later, the navigation continued to direct me BACK to my previous destination that I was now leaving. My phone navigation usually recognizes that I've arrived and doesn't continue to direct me. Frankly we couldn't even find how to stop it. My wife had to gave it a new destination (home) to stop hearing the constant commands to turn around.
Third, the screen was way too bright after dark. Apparently the auto dimming of the infotainment screen was not enough. My wife found the setting to lower the brightness and deactivate the auto dim.
I don't mean to be soooo negative. I do really like the car. I'm looking forward to many many years of driving it. But sometimes the negatives stand out. Probably I just need some time with the manual to figure things out and maybe a little sleep.
Oh, one more thing. With all the beeps how come Blind Spot Detection is silent???? There was a speeding car in the left lane. I misjudged it's speed and went into his lane. Afterward I realized that I cut him off. The yellow indicator in my mirror was going nuts, but that didn't really phase me. It just doesn't seem consistent to have so many verbal warnings, some of which (like adaptive cruise) don't seem to be as important. But the thought that I could actually swipe some car in my blindspot with out BSD making a sound . . .
Thanks,
Bear
