Another Convert

Hello,
Took the leap, sold the C5 and moved into the 21st Century- been looking for a few months, finally found a car whose interior hadn't been specced by someone with no taste (Black, black and more black-how it should be), and a saloon too. Never even considered one over the Avant until I saw it, but more than happy so far. Plus the insurance is 35% cheaper than the C5???
Things I don't like-
The abject boredom of not being able to spend a journey totting up a list of problems that need fixing (hunt the trim rattle, warning light roulette, was that a slip in 2nd or am I just paranoid...)
Still appear to have the gearbox from an aircraft carrier in the footwell!
Not too keen on the black exhaust tips, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose
Was originally debadged, previous owner rebadged it (look a tiny bit wonky and not done professionally), so I'll get the rear one off eventually
But seriously, fantastic car; love the fact that the only indication of speed is the needle and louder wind noise. One question though: from what I gather I need a disk inserted to make the MMI Handbook work?
Cheers,
Alex
