The front armrest looks sleek and stylish.But does it offer a comfortable support?How you find the adjustment? I think some improvement is required to enable the form meets the funtionality.Sorry I cannot have both hands engaged on the steering all the time.Especially while on long drives.So expect a better armrest to make things comfortable.Also it would be better if the armrest height can be adjustable as well. Whats ur opinion guys?

I don't mind it but I'm wondering why they couldn't engineer it a little better so that when it's extended forward, the parking brake doesn't knock it backward when it's applied...
