I was quite pleased to find that with the addition of one component my 2.5 v6 comes with a saxo / corsa / fiesta driving chav embarrasser, the component is of course my right foot! I know its petty but I do find myself thinking "which part of that 1.4 litre biscute tin did you think was going to be faster off the lights than a real car?" as I said petty but I am just a man after all.

Didn't realise till recently that mines got parking lights when you leave the indicator on with ignition off. Very usefull when you have got them.

Turning the beep off the ATC is a nice touch as well.

I always knew that but always forget them when I should use them too!

What about the very useful diagnostics built into:

- the instrument pack
- the ATC
- the electric memory seats
...

So how do you turn off the ATC beep? I have searched 'ATC Beep' with no joy.
