The indicator stalk releasing when/after turning - I've noticed it releases relatively early when you're turning the steering wheel back to centre. I'm used to them staying on until you're close to centre but this releases pretty much as soon as you start turning the wheel the other way..
Build quality and panel alignments have been noted before on the MD. I haven't looked closely at one but it is a recurring theme.

As for the indicator cancelling pretty much every car i have ever owned has cancelled as soon as the wheel goes the other way. A pain when turning right at roundabouts. I tend to keep a finger on the stalk in the direction I'm turning and you feel it click as it tries to cancel
