the bluetooth and integration for phone conversations, podcasts, and so on is nice. The backup camera sure is handy.

I could do without many of the nanny state type sensors - telling me to "check the back seat" or when my car thinks there's some other vehicle within 50 yards of me in heavy traffic or a parking lot. (Yes, I'm overstating) I mean, I live in a really large city and sometimes traffic is a bit tight. Leave me alone about it.
