Gone. Removed in latest release :(

 

YES, if you have comfort access. Hold the button on the door handle down to roll everything back up. Unfortunately, you can't use the remote.

 

I wish MINI did have the power seats, so that I won't have to fidget with everything after my wife drives. She's only 3" shorter than me and her legs are the same length, but in our Forester, she sits so close to the steering wheel that I can't even get in without manually sliding the seat back. Trying to find the exact notch I'm comfortable at and then adjusting all the mirrors is incredibly annoying. She also sits with the seat at a practically 90 degree angle.

 

Well that sucks. 😕😕😕. I wanted to at least try it.

 

Me too. Never got to try it either.

 

Yes and I love the puddle lights in the door bottoms too. YOu can get aftermarkets that project the MINI logo.

 

I agree! This is the first car we've had since our 1993 Miata that didn't have power memory seats. I didn't realize what a pain it would be readjusting the seats all of the time. I would never buy another car without power seats.

 

Agreed, a stupid omission

 

Just another $1200 and 50 LBS.

 

I would gladly pay an extra $1,200, if they offered it as an option.

I don't see how they would add 50 lbs. The motors are small and weigh under 1 lb. each. You can get full adjustment with 3 motors. Extra weight for both seats would be about 6 lbs.The operating mechanisms should weigh the same whether they are manual or power. The driver's seat is the only one that really needs power adjustment.

 

Typically the power seats are included in a premium package for most cars, I think. I'd have gladly paid another $250 for them to be included in the premium or fully loaded packages (note: I should have gotten the fully loaded. >.< )

 

I have Adaptive Cruise Control on my car, and it will allow me to up or downshift, and the cruise stays active the whole time, until I cancel it or tap the brakes. It does suck that the car disables the cruise control below 15mph, to my understanding it's like that only on manual equipped cars, the auto equipped cars with Adaptive Cruise, the car will go to a complete stop without the need to touch the brakes. I use it almost every day going to work and back. It does freak me out a bit, at times getting a little too close to cars before ultimately slowing me down.

 

Wish I could find the thread so I could give the member credit for this suggestion.

When I first took delivery of the car, I noticed a slight "bucking" or "lag" when starting off in Mid Mode, and if in Sport mode this behavior would mitigate slightly, but not fully go away.

A forum member suggested when driving the car, I should move the shift gate to the far left (manual mode) and the "lag/buck" all but goes away. He was right, I finally remembered to try it as he suggested and all my starts are smooth with no lag and no bucking as before. I don't manually shift when in that position, just let it shift on its own, Works great.

 

Loving the mini LED lights in the door handles to make the car easy to find at night, the auto open sunroof, the driver side sun visor and the ability to make the boot load flat when the rear seats are down. Loving my new F56.

 

Yeah my '08 Hatch had it as well, very good as I am a "lazy shifter" and helped at lights.

 

OH and I forgot a trunk button finally in the cabin of the car and the cornering lights, even if they still freak me out when they turn on.

 

That is great to know. I hope they have retained that feature on the 2016's. Thanks!

 

With only 8 preset button on the standard radio I thought that was the maximum number of presets allowed; I found out yesterday I can do more and I'm still adding more stations from my Sirius. Does anyone know what the limit is? Not my car, btw; just a random photo to show the buttoned presets.

 

How do you do more than 8?!

 

So far I just keep adding and use the arrows on the steering wheel to toggle through them. Also you can go to presets and use the right hand **** on the radio to dial to them all. For Sirius this is really handy.

 

You can store up to 8 on the buttons (6 if you have Visual Boost), but the Presets menu does up to 40 I believe.

I store all my stations under the presets menu, assign Presets to one of the favorite buttons and then use the arrows on my wheel to navigate through them.

 

I'm at about 14 stored and haven't even touched the standard airwaves offerings. 40 is a great number, very cool.

 

Good news is that I figured out how to do it.
Bad news is that I forgot all the other stations I wanted to store

 

Try one station at a time; add more as you find them.

 

Here's a neat trick:

You know how the car can have more than one saved profile? (Profile meaning stored presets etc) If you assign let's say, button 6 as the second profile, then you can have the 1,2,3,4,5, buttons set for two things each.

For example, I have button 1 as my "go home" nav button. I press 1 to set the nav to go home. Simple. But I then press "6" which is programmed to switch to a second profile, then on this profile, 1 is set to, let's say driving excitement.

Means you can have 10 quick presets stored instead of 6.
