MMI menu system hierarchy
New '18 A5 sportback, in general love it so far. One strange thing is the menu system hierarchy. From the MMI home menu, scroll to Vehicle and click the MMI ****. It takes you to a sub-sub menu, the drive select. Then you have to hit the left button to go up one level.
i.e. from main menu (call that level 1), you skip down to level 3, then you have to say "back up" to go to level 2 with the left button. And why does it (arbitrarily) take you to drive select when there's a perfectly good hard button on the dash for that?
Is there any way to make the menus more sensible, level 1 to level 2 to level 3?

That's just German efficiency. They know what you will want 90% of the time better than you even know. Just let it happen. Don't fight it.

Your 1st sentence may or may not be sarcasm.
Your 2nd sentence certainly could be sarcasm.
Your 3rd sentence is ambiguous, and
your 4th sentence most certainly says, "this is not sarcasm at all, I just bend over and live with the crap technology that is given to me and don't question anything", which is an answer I cannot accept.
If your 2nd sentence is not sarcasm, why would I want to dig through a menu "90% of the time" to change the drive mode then there's a toggle switch on the dash for that, as I stated in my original post?
