    Electronic speedo is nice, but I have yet to work out how to tell the traction control warning light to bugger off (it is permanently off) so defaults back to the warning panel after a few seconds.

    I have got used to having my TC on with general running, and have learned to feather the throttle, so very rairly spin the back wheels

    the majority of the time I don't have aproblem either, but there are a few places , and two in particular within 2 miles of my home, that when pulling out into a 2 lane roundabout, the camber changes in two directions, and you effectively drop into a bowl, whilst turning across the side of the bowl.

    they are both roundabouts that require very Posative pull away unless there is no traffic at all, and these camber changes mean the rear goes light, particularly on one side I assume.

    I still forget at times, and having lurched to a near standstill in front of oncomming traffic, have perfected the power-off featherback-on-whilstreaching for the button with the other hand ROFL
