The only thing that annoys me about the nav is that if you're on the map when you turn the car off, it'll default back to the address entry screen when you restart the car. The actual navigation function is infinitely better than that of my 2010 iDrive(135i), which I found to be criminally bad. The rest of the system is a little slow compared to BMW of the same year but I got used to it.

The Audi Drive Select (dynamic, etc) is a button on my dashboard right above the temp dials. Maybe they changed it on newer models but mine is easy-peasy [See picture below].

Temp, even on the current model, is just a turn of the dial. Your sales guy sounds like he doesn't know his way around the car. No screens required [See picture below].

I don't know why the residuals are so terrible. They seem to hold their value quite well. Certainly better than the 135i that I came from (which had a pretty good residual).
