I feel you.

Just wondering about this as I am very tall and do not remember this when test driving, not going to be a deal break I assume though.

Oh, hardly - more just, I wish it didnt stick out so much. We wear big boots in the mil, so I just have to be particularly careful not to nick it when getting out...

Yup, 4 and out. I only need speech to complete my CCAF but I never got around to take it to finish off my GE.

D'oh, not going to get it in time before you separate?

I've only got little things to complain about at this point:

-no defroster on the side mirrors
-auto lock doors once the car starts moving
-blind spots are worse than on the 350z

I have navi/touring and you can choose to shut this funtion off, which I did.

You can turn this off without touring as well, it's described in the manual. If I remember correctly you have to start the car or turn on accessories and within 30 seconds hit and hold the door lock button in a certain direction.

do you mean the doors automatically lock when the car starts moving?

iceman21_23 · 03-27-2009, 03:02 PM

why would you turn it off? just curious its just a safety feature so the doors are not opened while the vehicle is in motion.

I can't speak for anybody else, but I hated the sound of the doors locking each time I went anywhere. I have been driving since 1992 and I've never been in a situation either as driver or passenger where the door suddenly came open. In fact if my car were to ever become submerged in an accident I'd much rather have the doors unlocked than locked.

Electrical components continue to work for several minutes in a submerged car.( saw it on TV)

Well if the was damaged in an accident who's to say whether everything will work properly or not..? That aside having to fumble for the locks, and then opening the doors is an extra step I wouldn't want to deal with. BTW this sort of accident occured recently and two of four people were killed when they were unable to exit the car.
