To be honest, I haven't played with it enough to give you an accurate answer. I do know that I like not having the rear view mirror in the way. I've also got to check into aiming the camera, as it displays too much of the ground just directly behind the car, rather than aimed to show a reasonable distance. Usually those center vents are the only ones for air to reach the rear seats, so it may be more uncomfortable for rear seat occupants during temperature extremes.
When I was looking at pictures of my vehicle before I bought it, I thought I wouldn't care for the CF dash. While it is considerably lighter than the door panels, it looks much better in person as opposed to pictures. I like it.
