Electronic parking brake:
Aesthetically I like the cabin better with a small unobtrusive switch rather than a larger mechanical brake handle. Also the e-brake automatically disengages if you are in gear and give it gas. I've gotten so used to this, I've driven off with the hand-brake on in the M2C a couple of times.
Flat bottom steering wheel:
When I first saw pictures of these as they were being introduced on the Audi line, I thought it looked cool but other than that a bit of a gimmick. Having driven with it, I've grown to like the feel of the wheel when you are making a sharp turn like in a parking lot - its nice that as you turn the wheel you feel the flat bottom part rather than just a continuous circle. Not a major deal but given the choice I'd go with the flat bottom one.
