Front fogs deliver a wide short beam pattern, which, being low, helps you to see the kerbs/edge of road in foggy conditions. They are not particularly designed to help others see you. The rears do that, and I always turn my rears off when a car comes behind me in fog, as obviously they have seen me.

Map reading lights in the rear are easy to turn on accidentally and then keep coming on every time the ignition is turned on (but there is no way to turn them off from the driver's seat |

Sounds like knocking the car here but not at all, it's brilliant... there are wee things you always notice though:

The driver’s side genuine rubber mat is rubbish too. |

The Renault Captur and the later Ford Fiesta has a little round gripper that fits in the small centre hole and stops the cup holders pulling out These also work on a 322 & a D4 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-FORD-FI...:rk:4:pf:0 https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=renault+...ybtGAitCM: |

The fridge is a PIA to get to and I miss the sunglasses holder from the L322, but other than that I think generally they have done a decent job SDV8 AB MY 2019

That’s a good point about the fridge and why doesn’t the top fold back to 180 degrees to get completely out of the way of the driver’s elbow and then fold down flat to form a handy tray for rear seat passengers, just as used to in the D4? |

It could also helpfully slide forward to make a more comfortable armrest rather than the skinny thing which I find uncomfortable.
