My 2 Cents
I disagree on the navigation system. My wife has a Lincoln Navigator and the Navigation system is much better. For one it shows all the streets around the street you drive on and much more. On the steering wheel, I changed it to the wood and leather and it’s great. About the wipers, I guess we lucky in Southern CA. it doesn’t rain too much. Sorry. Smile
I do agree on the brakes, excellent.

Im 6'6, i find the seats comfortable and for a coupe its suprisingly roomy in the front, miles better than the 208 which really scrambled for headroom.
Another great thing for a tall driver sitting further back is that you have no big B-post next to your left ear. Feels much better and airy.
I don't find the wipers such a big deal, but i did have to have them replaced, but with that done, they are wisper quiet and the rainsensor works OK (not perfect though). Not such a big deal.
Cheers
