I had a Visa GT. Quirkiest for me.
Non-self cancelling indicators.
Everything a finger's length away.
My mate's first BX company car was like that. The later one went back to "normal" indicators on a stalk.

Switches on my old Audi coupe were much easier to get to than on my more modern Audi. If someone lets me through a gap at night, it used to be easy to flash the front fog lights so as to not dazzle them, as the switch was just near my right hand. On the modern, it's down by my knee and has to be pulled out to switch fogs on. I guess fog lights aren't conventionally switched on and off all that much, so it probably doesn't matter.
Visa went to stalks later too.
Nuts. Take one of your worthwhile USPs and bin it. Shoot the marketers.
