jonboy,
Please accept my sincere apologies, I didn't realise you had splashed out on a special edition for her indoors. If she thinks it's comfier than your 5 let her live on in her own little world. That way she won't ask too many awkward questions like "can I see the invoice for your car" followed by "you spent more on extras for your car than you did buying my whole car!"
Orange bits............ nice!

My better half usually asks me to go faster and then she'll ask to drive! She does like those hispanic music stations though. Usually complains if I put on Emerson, Lake, and Palmer or Dire Straits, but we can usually agree on Bob Marley! I get lots of time with my baby alone, though, so it's no biggie. Still a newlywed.

Wow 
My wife didn't mind about all the options - so long as she got those
comfort seats ( they are amazing though... ) and doesn't mind the occasional
power slide or the 250km.h on the autobahn...

Once upon a time, we were cruising the Interstate-10 in December and my wife mate was snoozing quietly. I got to rocking along at 120 mph when I heard a dreamy voice say, "If you don't slow this thing down, I'm going to take your keys away from you for Christmas." I complied. She's pretty tolerant, but has her limits. It's the cornering that bothers her more.

Loud music is only possible when I am alone. My wife also turns down the music and wants to talk with me <_<
Who wants to talk when you have the best soundsystem in the world in your car??
I learned to live with it

wouldn't it be great if she could normally operate in that mode, ie all functions active except voice control, a kind of sleep mode if you like

Normally she's a sound sleeper. She's pretty good at staying in sleep mode on a trip once she goes under and we keep rolling. That's why I thought I could get by doing it my way.
