There are a couple of things I liked on my XKR that aren't available on my F-Type, one is the auto-dip on reverse passenger mirror - in the XKR once it had dipped you could adjust it to suit your preference and it'd remember that setting. That was available on early F-Types, but was removed just before my MY, and dips much too low for my taste so is basically useless to me.

I wonder why they removed that feature?! Since mine is an older MY then yours I can still edit the auto-dip position but it would be handy if you could disable it with a quick button press ( I could do this in my previous cars) as I don't need it to dip every time as it depends where I park. It seems to be all or nothing which isn't very useful really so like yourself I have turned this feature off and just manually adjust the mirror if I have to.
