Speaking of windows, if it's raining and I have to roll my window down, there is no guard to catch the water... Pisses me off

LOL...either way, it should move up AND down! And I don't consider the cushion tilts either of the two...

For some reason in this car I cannot find a spot to put my phone when plugged into the radio out of direct sunlight (when a drink is in the cup holder). I like to take midday cruises (Florida) and have actually had my phone overheat (streaming music) from it just sitting on the passenger seat. This is of course from direct sunlight! Wish the z somehow had more interior shade with the windows down. It's a weird kink

Edit: &@@$$ cup holders please!

The best place I've found for my phone is to set it on edge length-wise between the parking brake and the cup-holder. YMMV.

I have a mount for my phone right above the airbag indicator on the right side of the radio. I think it works wonders.

I just found out what I don't like about the Z, is that now I don't enjoy driving anything else, wifey took the Z today to work to "show it off" to her g/f's as they went out for lunch a nobody believes she can drive a standard and I took her 2014 Rogue, which is fun but ehem boring. The fact that now most cars that are auto have this CVt transmission I'm waiting for the gears to change but it's like driving go cart...but the sound system and lack of road noise make up for it...carry on..

My dad, even when he drives my car thinks it's comfy, he has REALLY bad back problems, and while he doesn't care for the roof being low or the pain to get in and out or even the leg bolsters, he likes the back support, and the seat heaters, although I JUST taught him about those
Is your Z MT?

Ok so here it goes. My complaints would be when I have my radar plugged into the dash and need to charge my phone I have to take the change tray out and set it on the floor or seat since every charger I find you cant close the center console with it in. Then of course that will spill everywhere and im picking up change.

I might have to take a pic but I have a basic charger in the center console and there is a slot along the drivers side edge that the cord can stick out of and you can close the center console no problem.

I bought my Z in 2014 as a leftover 2013 so it was new according to the dealer and was substantially less for the same option vehicle made in 2014 so I just had to clear some issues with the road side assistance program that I had to use just this week for a dead battery. I was told that the road side assistance coverage is for 36k or 3 years and the person on Nissan Road side told me it was about to expire since the records show it being a 2013. I made a call and it was corrected, glad it didn't happen when I needed it....

I had the same concern when I bought my Z in 2015 as a leftover 2014. The dealer I bought it from (Nissan of Mission Hills) told me that my warranty started the day I bought the car, regardless of model year. I hope they weren't just saying that to get me to sign but I would give them the benefit of the doubt, so yeah you should be ok I think
