Can be confusing if you don't realise this and put some heavy baggage on there. Not that it's ever caught me out, honest.

I'm a bit used to holding the indicator stick at "unsteady". Hopefully I'll get used to just flicking it and realeasing it to kick the lane change in.

I like the way they've done the from-the-inside door lock/unlock by utilising the door handles. Try it - with the door unlocked push the handle towards the door and the locking kicks in, whilst a gentle pull out unlocks and of course all the way opens the door.

MINI uses one of the toggle switches at the base of the centre console. My sister's former Grande Punto and current Bravo have buttons on the centre dash.
