Front fogs deliver a wide short beam pattern, which, being low, helps you to see the kerbs/edge of road in foggy conditions. They are not particularly designed to help others see you. The rears do that, and I always turn my rears off when a car comes behind me in fog, as obviously they have seen me.

But low down lights appear to be used for all sorts of things nowadays. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Map reading lights in the rear are easy to turn on accidentally and then keep coming on every time the ignition is turned on (but there is no way to turn them off from the driver's seat

The sheer width of the car, combined with doors that are 11” thick, mean that it won’t fit in most multi-storey car parking spaces (and still be able to get in and out of the car) and it’s even too wide to legally pass through 6’6” width restrictions

Just a few to be going on with.....

Rear fabric covered Parcel shelf gets drips on it (from the upper tailgate) when it is wet or in rain, causing watermarks.
The rear tailgate spoiler rubs against the D pillar high-gloss trim and has rubbed away the surface due to ill fitting.
The upper passenger dash cubby size is useless.
The fitted driver’s front carpet mat does not cover behind foot pedal area and consequently dirt builds up here very quickly.

I couldn't stand the mats not fitting either so i bought these...

Sounds like knocking the car here but not at all, it's brilliant... there are wee things you always notice though:

The cup holders in the centre console have a bad habit of lifting out and sticking to the bottoms of bottles of water🙄

On long journeys, when resting the right elbow on the top of the driver's door (RHD) it becomes a bit uncomfortable as thought the finish could be more cushioned/plush.

The driver’s side genuine rubber mat is rubbish too.

The Renault Captur and the later Ford Fiesta has a little round gripper that fits in the small centre hole and stops the cup holders pulling out
These also work on a 322 & a D4

The fridge is a PIA to get to and I miss the sunglasses holder from the L322, but other than that I think generally they have done a decent job  SDV8 AB MY 2019

5.0 S/C AB MY 2010 - Gone

That’s a good point about the fridge and why doesn’t the top fold back to 180 degrees to get completely out of the way of the driver’s elbow and then fold down flat to form a handy tray for rear seat passengers, just as used to in the D4?

It could also helpfully slide forward to make a more comfortable armrest rather than the skinny thing which I find uncomfortable.
I think our old Alfa use to have a sliding armrest so it won't be expensive to add.
