Maybe you should get the transmission checked out? I dont experience any of those problems with mine. I do agree with the annoyance of the manual mode selecting 5th instead of 7th, but i got used to it.
For the quirks, the headlight leveling seems highly unnecessary. I wouldn't pick it as an option if it was available. The fact that you have trouble driving without this feature seems like an issue as a majority of cars on the road do not have this feature. I like the fact that the radio shuts off when the car shuts off. 99% of the time when I shut the car off, I exit the car so that just saves time by not having to turn the radio off as well. Power window deactivation is to save power and 1 minute is more than enough. All you have to do is press the start button once to activate it again. It was over 100 degrees a few days ago in Texas and it worked flawlessly. As for the window problem, I would consult the dealer. I have never had a problem with brakes nor oil temps from daily driving. Even during autocross the brakes were fine and oil did not reach critical levels.
Honestly if you think you made a bad purchase and consider a trade in and buy a more proper car rather than complain about having to push the start button one more time.
As for the transmission however, from your experiences it seems the unit might be faulty. Consult with your dealer and try to get it fixed or replaced.
