Well I suppose this is a bit 'ford related' but as it's just a bit of randomness I thought maybe its better in general.

So what settings have you got on your cars basic menu...

I've got a mk2 so I can change a couple things but off the top of my head my steering is on 'sport' and I have 'chime' turned on.

Actually, anyone here NOT got their steering on sport? It was the first thing I changed, my Clio had no power steering so comfort setting felt very wrong for me.

    Oh and FYI, I've been sitting in a car park since 5 to 9 waiting for a shop to open....which turns out is 10... Hence the random question...

    Same options as you Ian. Also have 'Instant Fuel Consumption'.

    I have my steering on 'sport' but do find 'comfort' easier if I'm driving around town and in tight parking.

    I keep mine on temperature setting, as the mpg only upsets me lol. I tend to have the steering on comfort or standard, unless I am going for a spirited drive.

    What about 'chime'? I personally have mine on, I find it works brilliantly with all the warnings.
