A couple of gripes that I have with my new NS GLX DID that readers may sympathise with or have answers to:
1/ Firstly the cruise control buttons that are now included in the steering wheel may look great, but they are far less functional that the finger tip stalk on the previous models. I find that it is necessary to move your hand and take attention off the road in order to hit the correct button, definetly not safe.
2/ The air cond temp settings have also taken a step back with the new climate control, on a cold morning you have to set the temp high to make it kick in and then when it does you have to wind it way down before it cooks the cab. The opposite happens on a hot day, it takes mutiple adjustments to get the temp right, it is like the temp sensor is located somewhere that doesn't react to changes quick enough. i asked the dealer to look at it, but to no avail (not that I have a lot of faith in this MM dealer anyway, due to bad experiences from the start)
3/ some issues with the drop in power in the DID from the previous model but this may be getting better with age.
All round though good value for money and the pick of this size vehicle.
