I just recently rented the Mini, nice car but with one exeption..... I really hate the radio....no dial to dial in a station.....while going 60mph I'm trying to figure out which one of the silly push buttons to hit and get a station that I desire....

It seems that someone has decided to take a concept that works (the old fashion "dial") and change it to something that doesn't.... It's dangerous and you need to figure out the radio before turning the key...

Yikes! Please don't try to figure out any new radio user interface while driving at 60 mph. But once you figure it out in the parking lot, check out the subtle hidden buttons on the back of the steering wheel right at your fingertips. You can control the volume and change channels without taking your hands of the wheel. I had my kids believing it was mind control.

do all MINIs in the Zipcar fleet have duplicate radio controls on the back of the steering wheel?
