We have the same car, Jake! I love this car so much, I can't stop driving it. I think I love it too much-I'm already dreading the first scratch or ding. I already have some interior scratches on the plastic. Wish is was a little more scratch resistant.
This is my first in-car navi system and I've noticed that I'm already a more confident driver. It's a great feeling knowing that I CAN'T get lost. A trip to the shore, the mountains, Washington DC, wherever...no problem. Maps.....that's so "20th century"!
I agree about the placement of the navi joystick. Another annoyance is that nag screen. It's gotta go. I can't stand hitting that same spot every time I start the car. Plus, won't there be a worn spot on the screen after several years of pressing "OK" in the same spot every time we start the car???
I'd be interested in seeing a photo of your car with the mud flaps. I'll be installing mine sometime next week.
Enjoy! Jeff

The upper right corner is just a bit of a stretch from my seating setup. But the motorized fold down face is very cool looking!
The dual tiered digital gauges took some getting used to as well. I found that it's best for me to actually turn down the brightness a bit a night because the glare on the angled windshield was a bit much.
But these aren't so much complaints as they are personal preferrence issues from my first day of driving. Overall, the car is so incredibly sleek, smooth, and responsive for its class that I consider these issues pretty trivial in that context.
