Favorite Minor Feature On Your Z

jburke26 · 07-05-2013, 12:37 PM

The car does not constantly beep at me if I don't have my seat belt on. I usually wear my seat belt but sometimes I do take it off to reach for my wallet or just going around the block. I can not stand cars that try to act like my nanny.

Roll down the windows from outside the car

The rumble from the morning start up...makes me smile every morning.

There are several, but the only one I can think of at the moment is the gas cap hook inside the cover.

(Been without the Z for a bit due to all sorts of reasons that just end up keeping me in the DD.)

I do *really* like the blinking side indicators. It's weird, but I appreciate safety and indicators in cars so I know when and where they're turning. Using signal lights is a pet peeve of mine...

What degree of madness is this? lol Please enlighten this n00b (me, very proud of my n00bage) on how this works.
And no....I have not taken time to read the manual. Way too much man-pride for that

I think you just hold the unlock button for a few more seconds after the initial unlock and they roll down until you let go.

Unlock, then hold it

Victory! My mind has been blown.
I must nibble on a saltine cracker like a squirrel for a few seconds...wondering why my life has betrayed me.

If you don't care to comment, fine, but ridicule is not welcome.

When I read the thread this is exactly what I thought of too, love that on start up along with the media system (NAV)

SRM is also a nice feature, makes my exhaust sond like the meanest thing ever on downshifts. I sound like a boss during Time attack sessions

If SRM counts as a small thing, that's probably my favourite. No other car has it. I also like the blinking side emblems but not as unique as SRM.

Bking · 07-05-2013, 01:54 PM

I also like the *** fog light. I flash it to people all the time.

Fountainhead · 07-05-2013, 02:12 PM

Mine is twofold, first the press little silver button on the door handle to lock and the annunciator, instead of a HORN that tells you he's locked. Second, when I go into a store and wifey stays in the car (AC on), he beeps 3x to tell me "hurry back" when I leave with the keys in my pocket!

Huh? Please define "annunciator."

Another favorite is i love how the gauges move with the steering wheel so there is never an obstructed view of the gauges.

Another favorite... I think the illuminated kick plates make the Z look classy. And i like how every other sub-premium brand went crazy copying this feature from the Z after media reaction to them in late 2008. Nissan does a lot of small cool things first.

^ by annunciator, he probably means the subtle double beep sounds rather than the sound of the horn when you press the button on the door handles
